People listed in this file have contributed comments, suggestions,
|
|
criticisms, and bug reports which have helped me fix and improve
|
|
Ikarus Scheme. Without their contributions, my job would've been
|
|
much harder. I'm very thankful.

====================================================================
|
|
VERSION 0.0.2:
|
|
|
|
- Everybody who took the time to email me when Ikarus was released.
|
|
Thanks for the encouragements.
|
|
|
|
- Eric Hanchrow (offby1) reported the first public bug on bignum
|
|
division error
|
|
|
|
- Wolfram Fenske helped test porting the system to NetBSD and
|
|
FreeBSD, increasing the number of supported platforms from 3 to 5.
|
|
The Solaris port is still unfinished though.
|
|
|
|
- Tom Gordon reported installation problems on 64-bit systems which
|
|
resulted in improving the error report of the configure script.
|
|
|
|
- Jens Axel Søgaard(and his brother) provided solutions for
|
|
compiling Ikarus on 64-bit machines.
|
|
|
|
- Andre van Tonder reported expansion problems for top-level
|
|
programs. He also made suggestions for improving the user's
|
|
guide.
|
|
|
|
- Michael Adams helped in a zillion things including fixing typos,
|
|
making the command-line procedure consistent for scripts and
|
|
interactive sessions, installing the boot file in a proper
|
|
location (along with some help in using automake and autoconf),
|
|
filed bug reports (on expt, modulo, error, get-line,
|
|
number->string, truncate, fltruncate, flabs, substring,
|
|
define-record-type, put-u8, the expander, and the compiler), and
|
|
helped cut startup time in half by instrumenting the ikarus
|
|
loader.
|
|
|
|
- Phil Bewig wrote SRFI-41 (streams) in R6RS, which loads flawlessly
|
|
in Ikarus.
|
|
|
|
- Felix Klock reported (indirectly) that the +nan.0 and +inf.0
|
|
should be case insensitive.
|
|
|
|
- Derick Eddington reported garbage collection problems with code
|
|
that only uses bignum arithmetic. Also reported problems with
|
|
reading identifiers containing unicode escape sequences and
|
|
corrected a minor bug with export classifications.
|
|
|
|
- Kent Dybvig approved of an idea for optimizing closures that
|
|
resulted in cutting the bootstrap time in half.
|
|
|
|
- Will Clinger indirectly reported that Ikarus does not support the
|
|
#!r6rs comment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
====================================================================
|
|
VERSION 0.0.1:
|
|
|
|
- Kent Dybvig and Michael Adams both advised that the initial
|
|
release should build and install using the standard ./configure,
|
|
make, make install sequence. This made the lauch of Ikarus very
|
|
successful as people had little or no problems building and
|
|
installing it.
|
|
|
|
- Will Byrd gave suggestions about the minimum stuff that should go
|
|
into the user's guide and suggested having a small R6RS tutorial.
|
|
|
|
- Roshan James bugged me to port Ikarus to Windows. Only half of
|
|
his wish came true (cygwin is not windows in his dictionary).
