Hi all,
As I was helping someone on IRC, I glanced over the README
and noticed a section talking about compatibility, but that
mentioned only the macro system and module system rewrite
from CHICKEN 4.
We could add information about a CHICKEN 4 to 5 upgrade, but
I think the 5 release is old enough and most people have migrated
already anyway, and the instructions on the wiki are much more
complete anyway.
The README is pretty long already, so I think it's fine to just
drop this section. That's what the attached patch does.
Cheers,
Peter

Subject: [PATCH] Remove severely outdated README section on compatibility
This mentioned only the upgrade from 3 to 4, and had nothing
about 4 to 5 anyway. Better to remove it completely to avoid
confusion.

- 8. Compatibility notes
-
-In CHICKEN 4, the macro system has been reimplemented
- completely and provides module system, which has considerably
- more flexibility and power, but will require the
- re-implementation of macros in code that previously was used
- with CHICKEN 3. Notably, `define-macro' is not available
- anymore. See the manual on how to translate such macros to
- low-level hygienic macros or ask on the CHICKEN mailing list.
