Hi all! A new development snapshot (5.0.1) is now available: https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2019/01/12/chicken-5.0.1.tar.gz
This is the first snapshot in the 5.x release series. The most important change is that this version changes how "qualified" symbols are read. These are symbols like ##sys#map or ##core#inline. In older versions, these symbols would be interned into a string that had as its first byte the length of the "namespace", like "\003sysmap" or "\004coreinline". This caused problems when printing non-qualified symbols that contained such low bytes. See https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1077 for more information. Changing this representation is backwards-incompatible, which means that the git version of CHICKEN must now be built with a CHICKEN that's from this snapshot or newer. There's a complete list of changes since the 5.0.0 release in the NEWS file: https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2019/01/12/NEWS We would encourage all of our more adventurous users to try running their code under this snapshot. If you run into any problems with the new snapshot, please let us know. Regards, The CHICKEN Team
