GNU Guile 2.2.0 released
We are delighted to announce GNU Guile release 2.2.0, the first of a new stable release series. More than 6 years in the making, Guile 2.2 includes a new optimizing compiler and high-performance register virtual machine. Compared to the old 2.0 series, real-world programs often show a speedup of 30% or more with Guile 2.2. Besides the compiler upgrade, Guile 2.2 removes limitations on user programs by lowering memory usage, speeding up the "eval" interpreter, providing better support for multi-core programming, and last but not least, removing any fixed limit on recursive function calls. Not only does Guile 2.2 run fast, it also supports the creation of user-space concurrency facilities that multiplex millions of concurrent lightweight "fibers". See https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/news/gnu-guile-220-released.html for pointers to promising experiments. If you are migrating from earlier versions of Guile, be sure to read the NEWS below for exhaustive information on user-visible changes relative to the previous stable series. Installation instructions follow the NEWS. As a bonus, this release includes a binary release built with Guix that you can untar onto any x86_64 GNU/Linux system and test out Guile for yourself; details at the end of this mail. * * * 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 2.2.0 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 2.2.0 (changes since the 2.0.x stable release series): * Notable changes ** Speed The biggest change in Guile 2.2 is a complete rewrite of its virtual machine and compiler internals. The result is faster startup time, better memory usage, and faster execution of user code. See the "Performance improvements" section below for more details. ** Better thread-safety This new release series takes the ABI-break opportunity to fix some interfaces that were difficult to use correctly from multiple threads. Notably, weak hash tables and ports are now transparently thread-safe. See "Scheduling" in the manual, for updated documentation on threads and communications primitives. ** Better space-safety It used to be the case that, when calling a Scheme procedure, the procedure and arguments were always preserved against garbage collection. This is no longer the case; Guile is free to collect the procedure and arguments if they become unreachable, or to re-use their slots for other local variables. Guile still offers good-quality backtraces by determining the procedure being called from the instruction pointer instead of from the value in slot 0 of an application frame, and by using a live variable map that allows the debugger to know which locals are live at all points in a frame. ** Off-main-thread finalization Following Guile 2.0.6's change to invoke finalizers via asyncs, Guile 2.2 takes the additional step of invoking finalizers from a dedicated finalizer thread, if threads are enabled. This avoids concurrency issues between finalizers and application code, and also speeds up finalization. If your application's finalizers are not robust to the presence of threads, see "Foreign Objects" in the manual for information on how to disable automatic finalization and instead run finalizers manually. ** Better locale support in Guile scripts When Guile is invoked directly, either from the command line or via a hash-bang line (e.g. "#!/usr/bin/guile"), it now installs the current locale via a call to `(setlocale LC_ALL "")'. For users with a unicode locale, this makes all ports unicode-capable by default, without the need to call `setlocale' in your program. This behavior may be controlled via the GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE environment variable; see "Environment Variables" in the manual, for more. ** Complete Emacs-compatible Elisp implementation Thank
