openssl: 2.2.4 release

2021-07-27 Thread Vasilij Schneidermann
Hello,

I've released openssl 2.2.4 to resolve an issue in the `file-cipher` and
`file-digest` procedures returning incorrect results for file sizes
that are not an exact multiple of 4096. I have to thank elflng for
finding the issue and megane with root cause analysis. As a result of
this, the `cipher-context-update!` and `digest-context-update!`
procedures have been amended to accept an optional `effective-length`
argument to read in less than the full blob.

If anyone else is using or considers using the `file-cipher` and
`file-digest` procedures, I strongly urge them to update to avoid
inconsistencies.

New eggs: srfi-203 and srfi-216 (SICP)

2021-07-27 Thread Vasilij Schneidermann
Hello,

Someone on the IRC channel pointed out that there is no obvious egg to
use for solving SICP exercises as the sicp egg is C4-only and no
alternatives exist. I chose to port SRFI-203 and SRFI-216 which provide
the picture language and other SICP prerequisites.

Both eggs have been tested successfully with `test-new-egg`. I plan to
set up a C5 page for the sicp egg pointing to the two SRFIs instead.

Thanks, Vasilij.  Your eggs have been added to the coop.

All the best.
