headers Erick Gallesio | 16 Dec 13:11

This is an announce for the 0.97 release of STklos.

STklos is a free Scheme System mostly conform to R5RS. The aim of this
implementation is to be fast as well as light. The implementation is
based on an ad-hoc Virtual Machine. STklos can also be compiled as a
library, so that one can easily embeds it in an application.

The salient points of STklos are:
      * efficient and powerful object system based on CLOS providing
          - Multiple Inheritance,
          - Generic Functions,
          - Multi-methods
          - an efficient MOP (Meta Object Protocol)
      * a simple to use module system
      * implements the full tower of numbers defined in R5RS
      * easy connection to the GTK+ toolkit
      * Perl compatible regular expressions thanks to the PCRE package.
      * tail recursive calls are properly implemented

Changes in this release:

    * Fixed support for recent versions of SLIB
    * Added boxes: they were used by the system but unavailable to the user.
    * Improved the stklos-pkg command
    * Fixed several mutexes bugs
    * Minor improvements of the FFI
    * Updated PCRE to version 7.4
    * New implemented SRFIs
          o SRFI-45 (Primitives for expressing iterative lazy algorithms)
          o SRFI-59 (Vicinity)
          o SRFI-88 (Keyword Objects)
          o SRFI-89 (Optional and named parameters)
    * Bug fixes
