			||||||
 | 
					==============
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					** Scsh is now based on Scheme 48 0.53  
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  With the move from Scheme 48 version 0.36 to version 0.53 in this
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  release the underlying system received a massive update. The most
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  significant changes include:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    User level threads
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    Advanced garbage collector
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    Improved foreign function interface to C
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  The most significant change for Scsh users is the addition of a
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  user-level thread system. Scsh provides various features to deal
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  with this new power in a system programming environment: An event
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  based interface to interrupts, thread local process state and
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  thread-safe system calls.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					** A manual for Scheme 48 has been included
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  Richard Kelsey, the author of Scheme 48, has graciously allowed us
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  to retrofit the current Scheme 48 manual for inclusion in this scsh
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  release.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					** Interfaces to dot-locking, crypt and syslog
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  Scsh now provides advisory file locking via the dot-locking scheme
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  and a direct binding to the crypt function. Furthermore we added
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  a complete, system-independent and thread-safe interface to syslog.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					** API changes
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  Some features of the previous releases are currently not
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  supported as we did not have the time to implement them. Please tell
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  us, if you can't get along without them. Here is a listing of these
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  currently dereleased features:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    select
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    select!
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    ODBC support
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    bufpol/line
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  The following procedures received new names in this release:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    sleep (now process-sleep)
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					    sleep-until (now process-sleep-until)
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  network-info, service-info and protocol-info now return #f on non-success.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  The default directory for creating temporary files has changed: It's
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  now the value of $TMPDIR if set and /var/tmp otherwise.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  The nth procedure is still there but is now officially obsolete.  It
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  will go away in a future release.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					** HTML version of the manual
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  There is now a HTML version of the scsh manual generated by tex2page
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					** Bugfixes
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  Most of the known bugs of version 0.5.3 have been fixed. See the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  project page on SourceForge for a list of the remaining known bugs.
