We are delighted to announce GNU Guile release 2.2.6, the sixth bug-fix release in the 2.2 stable release series. See the NEWS excerpt that follows for full details.
* * *
Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language.
The Guile web page is located at https://gnu.org/software/guile/, and
among other things, it contains a copy of the Guile manual and pointers
to more resources.
Guile can run interactively, as a script interpreter, and as a Scheme
compiler to VM bytecode. It is also packaged as a library so that
applications can easily incorporate a complete Scheme interpreter/VM.
An application can use Guile as an extension language, a clean and
powerful configuration language, or as multi-purpose "glue" to connect
primitives provided by the application. It is easy to call Scheme code
from C code and vice versa. Applications can add new functions, data
types, control structures, and even syntax to Guile, to create a
domain-specific language tailored to the task at hand.
Guile implements many common Scheme standards, including R5RS, R6RS, and
a number of SRFIs. In addition, Guile includes its own module system,
full access to POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads,
dynamic linking, a foreign function call interface, and powerful string
processing.
Guile 2.2.6 can be installed in parallel with Guile 2.0.x; see
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Installations.html.

Changes in 2.2.6 (since 2.2.5)
* Bug fixes
** Fix regression introduced in 2.2.5 that would break HTTP servers
Guile 2.2.5 introduced a bug that would break the built-in HTTP server
provided by the (web server) module. Specifically, HTTP servers would
hang while reading requests. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/36350>.
** 'strftime' and 'strptime' honor the current locale encoding
Until now these procedures would wrongfully assume that the locale
encoding is always UTF-8. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/35920>.
** Re-export 'current-load-port'
This procedure was erroneously removed in the 2.2 series but was still
documented.
** Minor documentation mistakes were fixed

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify guile-2.2.6.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys
3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.16.1
Libtool 2.4.6
Makeinfo 6.5
Gnulib v0.1-1157-gb03f418
Happy hacking with Guile!
