< p > Welcome to the RScheme web site at Scheme Conservatory. RScheme is an
2022-08-03 17:41:55 -04:00
open-source (and freely redistributable) implementation of the Scheme
language with lots of extensions and additional features beyond the
core language. See the < a class = "text" href = "a/2005/overview/index.html" > RScheme Overview< / a > for more details
about what RScheme is and provides. < / p >

< p > Content planning is underway for the 0.7.3.4 release.
Currently, we are looking at the following big-ticket includes:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > Improving SRFI coverage, especially in the base system
(< a href = "http://axis.rscheme.org:7973/wf/cr/view/1000" > CR 1000< / a > )
< / li >
< li > Improving pstore commit performance
(< a href = "http://axis.rscheme.org:7973/wf/cr/view/203" > CR 203< / a > )
< / li >
< li > Making multiple-argument generic function dispatch fast,
and moving support into the base system.
< / li >
< li > Full UTF string support
(< a href = "http://axis.rscheme.org:7973/wf/cr/view/973" > CR 973< / a > )

This is a listing of some

of the highlights from the RScheme library.

< h2 > Releases< / h2 >
< p >
RScheme releases are of three types:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
< b > Full.< / b > A full release includes a complete
set of bug fixes and new features, and is intended to be
quite stable, reliable, and functional. A full release
drops the build number from its name, and hence is known
only as, < i > e.g.< / i > , "0.7.3.2".
< / li >
< li >
< b > Partial.< / b > A partial release contains a set
of bug fixes and new features, but they may be < i > works in progress< / i >
and new features may or may not be completely implemented.
Generally, a partial release is somewhat stable and tested,
but may not work on all platforms.
< / li >
< li >
< b > Build.< / b > A build release may be
of any quality. Usually, an intermediate build will not
be released if it is < i > completely< / i > broken or immediately
superceded. Most
features are probably only partially implemented and the
state of ongoing bug fixes is somewhat unpredictable.
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
Information about progress towards the next upcoming build may be obtained
on < a class = "text" href = "build.html" > the build readiness page< / a > .
< / p >
< p >
For any given release, one or more distribution formats may be
available. The < i > Generic Source Distribution< / i > is available
for all releases, and embodies the source code in minimal form
to build to completion on a satisfactorily configured system.
< i > Binary< / i > distributions may also be available to simplify
installation on particular platforms.
< / p >
< p > Starting with b22, we are providing at least some binary
distributions from < code > rscheme.org< / code > . Currently, all we have
are AIX 5.1L binary RPMs, but as the build environment improves, the
goal is to have at least RedHat binary RPMS and Debian packages.

generic source distribution.< / p >
