Greets,
It seems that some of the NEWS entries that are currently there for the
1.9.0 release reflect awesomeness, but not awesomeness which users can
react to.
Specifically, I am going to remove the following NEWS entries, which are
great stuff but thankfully invisible to the user:
** Guile now uses Gnulib as a portability aid
** Primitive procedures (aka. "subrs") are now stored in double cells
This removes the subr table and simplifies the code.
** Primitive procedures with more than 3 arguments (aka. "gsubrs") are
no longer implemented using the "compiled closure" mechanism. This
simplifies code and reduces both the storage and run-time overhead.
Let me know any feedback you might have. I'll be working on compiling a
more comprehensive NEWS tonight and in the coming days.
Peace,
Andy
