Highlights:
- Gambit v4.9.4 support.
- we now have configure and make scripts to better align with common practices.
- gxi is now a binary shim, written in C, so that we can reliably use it as script interpreter.
- the parallel build has been disabled by default to avoid problems with low memory systems.
- the expander now allows exports in top context, so that scripts can also be modules.
- the append-* primitives have been renamed to *-concatenate following Gambit. The old names are still available, aliased to the new primitives, for backwards comaptibility.
- def now supports curried definitions.
- inline list accumulators with list-builder.
- std/logger has been rewritten.
- std/crypto now supports SHA3, BLAKE2, and ED25519.
- std/json now sorts hash keys in output by default.
- srfi-124 now has a real ephemeron implementation, based on wills.
- the postgres driver now supports stacked queries.
- assert! has been moved from std/sugar to its own std/assert module with significantly improved failure messages.
- many small fixes and documentation improvements.
Highlights:
- R7RS Tangerine, Polydactyl Gerbil, Class Sealing and more.
- Overhauled std/make library and parallelized builds.
- Configure and install scripts.
- Overhauled documentation, with a beautiful new logo!
- A new Gitter chat room at https://gitter.im/gerbil-scheme/community
Incompatibilities:
- std/iter:
in-rangehas been renamed toin-iota, with a newin-rangecompatible with Racket

- std/make: honour verbosity in exe compilation
- compiler: optimizer improvements and static executables
- optimizer:

- static: option for compiling library modules for static linkage
- compile-static-exe for statically linked executables
- default output directory for executables to current dir
- support static compilation
- gxc:
- -static option for static compilation
- -gsc-option and -gsc-option2 for adding arbitrary compilation options for gsc
- print usage when invoked with no files and fix error when invoked with only options
- optimizer:
- runtime:
- find-method now caches struct method resolutions to the rtd vtab
- prelude:
- extend core.ssxi to include more of the runtime and inline all simple procedures
- stdlib:
- build static linkage modules for all stdlib
- std/make supports static library compilation and executables
- actor/rpc fix latent arity bug caught by the optimizer
- build:
- [fare] use /bin/sh -eu for build scripts
- compiler: modularize and implement optimizer pass
- optimizations:
- lift opt lambdas and case-lambdas and optimize direct call dispatch
- recognize struct MOP definitions and inline direct struct operations
- cross module optimization with concurrent compilation and ssxi module generation
- ssxi prelude for writing type declarations for the optimizer
- gxc:
- add -O and -no-ssxi options for optimization
- add -cc-options and -ld-options for gsc compilation flags
- add -h option for printing usage
- optimizations:
- runtime:
- new MOP functions: class-subtype? next-method call-next-method
- stdlib
- std/text/zlib
- support transparent gzip/deflate decompression
- support gz compression
- support compression and decompression of input ports
- std/net/request
- accept gzip/deflate encoding with transparent content decompression
- std/iter
- accept when and unless filters in for and it's variants
- optimize iter transforms to use a direct iterator instead of a coroutine
- make coroutine and input-port iter-value idempotent between iter-next calls
- std/srfi/9
- generate record constructor that is recognized by the optimizer
- use interned symbols for module scoped records, as in defstruct
- std/misc/queue and std/test
- fix accessor bugs caught by the optimizer
- std/text/zlib
Bug fix release:
- fix issues with disabled compiler optimizations from gce memory [gambit#249]
- gerbil/runtime:
