* New in 0.6.0
|
||||||
|
==============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** 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:

|
||||||
|
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.
