This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
slib2a2.
New in release slib2a2 is:
* rdms.scm (make-relational-system base): Generalized database
system inspired by the Relational Model.
* alistab.scm (alist-table): Base table implementation suitable
for small databases and testing rdms.scm.
* require.scm time.scm cltime.scm (difftime offset-time): added to
allow 'posix-time functions to work with a non-numeric type
returned by (current-time).
* repl.scm (repl:top-level repl:repl): Multiple values at top
level now print nicely.
* cltime.scm (get-decoded-time get-universal-time
decode-universal-time encode-universal-time):
Common-Lisp time conversion routines created.
* time.scm (*timezone* tzset gmtime localtime mktime asctime ctime):
Posix time conversion routines created.
* Template.scm mitscheme.init scheme2c.init t3.init (*features*):
trace added.
* chap.scm ((chap:string<? s1 s2) (chap:next-string s)): Functions
for "chapter ordering" of strings.
* slib.texi (R4RS Macros section): added.
* defmacex.scm ((defmacro:expand* e)): fixed problem with varargs
define.
* randinex.scm ((random:size-float l x)): no longer assumes that
inexact numbers have finite precision, which is not necessarily
true (pointed out by jar@ai.mit.edu). Limits size to 4.
* trace.scm (trace untrace): created.
(debug:tracef debug:untracef): moved from debug.scm
* yasyn.scm: replaces yasos.scm
* comlist.scm ((comlist:has-duplicates? lst)): added.
* Template.scm *.init (identity): Now required; moved from
"comlist.scm".
From: jjb@isye.gatech.edu (John Bartholdi)
* sierpinski.scm (MAKE-SIERPINSKI-INDEXER): added.
* soundex.scm (SOUNDEX): added.
* macscheme.init (slib:exit): fixed. Version set to 4.2.
From: hugh@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz (Hugh Emberson)
* mwexpand.scm ((mw:quasiquote exp env)): Fixed bug which occured
when mw:quasiquote expanded things like `(1 2 3 . ,(+ 1 a)). I
added support for vectors in quasiquotes while I was there.
From: Tommy Thorn <Tommy.Thorn@irisa.fr>
* chez.init (scheme-implementation-version): fixed (changed to "?").
(library-vicinity): The definition of library-vicinity used
getenv, which was defined later.
(slib:chez:quit): The definition of slib:chez:quit was illegal.
Fixed.
(chez:merge!): had a typo.
(defmacro:load): (require 'struct) didn't work, because defmacro:load
doesn't add suffix. Workaround: defmacro:load and macro:load is
the same as slib:load-source.
From: Tom Tromey <tromey@drip.colorado.edu>
* priorque.scm: Renamed everything to conform to coding standards
and updated docs. Changed names: heap-extract-max to
heap-extract-max!, heap-insert to heap-insert! and heap-size to
heap-length.
SLIB is a portable scheme library meant to provide compatibiliy and
utility functions for all standard scheme implementations.
SLIB includes initialization files for Chez, ELK 2.1, GAMBIT,
MacScheme, MITScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, T3.1, and VSCM. SCM also
supports SLIB.
Documentation includes a manifest, installation instructions, and
coding standards for the library. Documentation on each library
package is supplied.
SLIB is a portable Scheme library which SCM uses:
ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu:pub/scm/slib2a2.tar.gz
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/jacal/slib2a2.tar.gz
ftp.maths.tcd.ie:pub/bosullvn/jacal/slib2a2.tar.gz
ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/slib2a2.tar.gz
SLIB-PSD is a portable debugger for Scheme (requires emacs editor):
ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu:pub/scm/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/jacal/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
ftp.maths.tcd.ie:pub/bosullvn/jacal/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/utl/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
Programs for printing and viewing TexInfo documentation (which SLIB
has) come with GNU Emacs or can be obtained via ftp from:
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/texinfo-3.1.tar.gz
Files in these directories are compressed with patent-free gzip (no
relation to zip). The program to uncompress them is available from
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.tar
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.shar
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.msdos.exe
ftp ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu (anonymous)
bin
cd pub/scm
get slib2a2.tar.gz
or
ftp prep.ai.mit.edu (anonymous)
cd pub/gnu/jacal
bin
get slib2a2.tar.gz
`slib2a2.tar.gz' is a compressed tar file of a Scheme Library.
Remember to use binary mode when transferring the *.tar.gz files.
