Hi! Alex Shinn suggested the other day on #chicken to remove the #\newline character from the string returned by "time->string" (which is, after all, pretty silly to have by default, but that's what asctime(3) returns). Every time I use this function, I feel I have to cringe. After grepping through the repository, I found the following uses: chicken: posixunix.scm, posixunix.scm (naturally) sigma: sigma.scm testbase-results: testbase-reports.scm
Change is good.
This may break existing applications. I'm normally rather reluctant to make backwards-incompatible changes (do I hear someone laugh there in the audience?), but since a new major release is due, and we have branched the repository for exactly these kind of changes we might as well do it now. So, if you feel time->string should keep the trailing #\newline, pleae speek up. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
