uim 1.5.0-beta2 Release Note
============================
About This Release
------------------
This distribution of uim 1.5.0-beta2 is a preview release for testing
purpose. Since it may contain serious unknown problems, it should not
be used for important work. For such situations, use our latest stable
release uim 1.4.2.
This release achieved both considerable internal improvement and many
user-visible new feature additions.
The complicated legacy C part of uim which prevented extensions, design
improvements and automated input method tests have been turned into Scheme
codes or optimized out.
Please report us if you find a problem.

Notes for Packagers and System Integrators
------------------------------------------
- The option "--enable-debug" and/or "--enable-backtrace" makes uim (in
accurately, underlying SigScheme interpreter) quite heavy. Please keep them
unspecified for normal library
- Use the bundled SigScheme, and do not depend on external SigScheme
package. Since the SigScheme interpreter is completely embedded into
libuim without linking to libsscm, and exposing no SigScheme-specific
symbols regardless of environment-dependent symbol exportation control
existence such as -export-symbols of libtool or version script of ld,
no conflict with libsscm occurs
- libuim links to libgcroots although SigScheme is embedded into
libuim. Although libgcroots is also bundled in uim, it should be
managed as a separated package since both libsscm and libuim which
provided by separated package depends on it. Add
'--with-libgcroots=installed' to configure options for uim to disable
build and install of the bundled version of libgcroots
- libuim ABI and so libtool-version has been updated due to the
libuim-scm separation and some API changes
Roadmap
-------
- uim 1.6.0 and later
The time for drastic reconstruction. Many user-visible changes.
The composer framework will be introduced for extensible IM
development.
- uim 2.0.0
Overall uim API will be revised.
