* 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:
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
    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.
