> Hello all,

> The second release candidate for CHICKEN 4.11.0 is now available for download:
> http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2016/04/28/chicken-4.11.0rc2.tar.gz
>
> This tarball has the following SHA-2 checksum:
> 7f88df077b24b756e2cd5e51dc71e9a4004d2ffb4c8560cdb9887b5a37490521
>
> The list of changes since 4.10.0 is available here:
> http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2016/04/28/NEWS
>
> The changes since the previous release candidate (rc1) are as follows:
> - On 32-bit systems, the debugger client used incorrect printf format
>    strings, resulting in invalid data used for the protocol.  This made
>    debugging of programs running on 32-bit systems impossible (#1279).
> - Under Mac OS X, "make check" failed in a non-installed CHICKEN due to
>    the new "System Integrity Protection" breaking DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in
>    all processes that are invoked through /bin/sh (#1277).
>    Thanks to J Irving for reporting this, and Jim Ursetto for creating
>    and testing the fix.
> - On 64-bit architectures where "char" defaults to unsigned (e.g. ARM64),
>    negative signed fixnum literals embedded inside other literals would
>    be decoded incorrectly (#1280).  Thanks to Alex Shendi for reporting
>    this and testing the fix.
> - When initializing a new egg repository, if the destination directory
>    does not exist, chicken-install would write all files to the target
>    as if it were a file.  Thanks to "LemonBoy" for reporting this and
>    creating a fix.
> - Stack checks inserted by the compiler would incorrectly trigger stack
>    overflow errors after receiving a signal (#1283).  Thanks to
>    "LemonBoy" for helping to track down this error.
>
> These last-minute changes are very important for the stability of the
> system, so we are very happy they made it in.  However, due to the impact
> of especially the latter, we would ask you all to help us test the new
> release candidate as thoroughly as the first one.
>
> As usual, an easy way to test this RC is as follows:
>
> $ make PLATFORM=<platform> PREFIX=<some dir> install check
> $ <some dir>/bin/chicken-install pastiche
>
> If you want to build CHICKEN with a compiler other than the default one,
> just use C_COMPILER=<the compiler> (e.g., C_COMPILER=clang) on the make
> invocation.
>
> Of course, feel free to explore other supported build options (see the
> README file for more information) and actually use CHICKEN 4.11.0rc2 for
> your software.
>
> If you can, please let us know the following information about the
> environment you tested the RC tarball on:
>
> Operating system: (e.g., FreeBSD 10.1, Debian 8, Windows 7 mingw-msys)
> Hardware platform: (e.g., x86, x86-64, PPC)
> C Compiler: (e.g., GCC 4.9.2, clang 3.6)
> Installation works?: yes or no
> Tests work?: yes or no
> Installation of eggs works?: yes or no
>
> Thanks in advance!
