Scsh 0.6.2 Release notes -*- outline -*- Scsh 0.6.3 Release notes -*- outline -*-
We are pleased to release scsh version 0.6.2. This release
incorporates many SRFIs into scsh. The enhanced module language of the
recent Scheme 48 releases is now also part of scsh. In addition most
of the known bugs of the previous version have been fixed.
We are pleased to release scsh version 0.6.3. This release provides an
interface to the md5 library to produce 128-bit fingerprints of
strings and files. Scsh now also starts much faster and comes with an
additional heap image which has the debugging information reduced and
is therefore much smaller.

** Shorter startup times
By a couple of small fixes we could diminish the startup
time by 10-30%.
** stripped-scsh.image
In addition to the standard heap image scsh.image, scsh now ships
with an additional image stripped-scsh.image. This image contains
the same code as the standard image but has almost all debugging
information removed. It is therefore much smaller (2.5 MB vs. 4.5
MB) which also allows shorter startup times. The image is intended
for use in scripts but not for interactive development. See the
manual for more information.
** md5 support
The package md5 contains a bunch of procedures to compute md5
checksums.
