Dear CHICKEN users, We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CHICKEN 6.0.0 at the following URL:
https://code.call-cc.org/releases/6.0.0/chicken-6.0.0.tar.gz This tarball has the following SHA256 checksum: 92835552b1b687ad26737e429b5aba36510bf429f8816ec0f6d336c8cb41f443 This is major release, containing many improvements and enhancements, including full support for the R7RS (small) language standard and UNICODE strings. Support for Windows platforms has been improved and many smaller changes were done for better standards compliance and better compatibility to other Scheme implementations. Building the system from source is now a bit more ergonomic due to the use of a configure script (no new dependencies have been added - a C compiler, GNU make and a POSIX shell is all that is required). Many thanks to everyone who helped test this release. For a full list of the changes since 5.4.0 (which are quite considerable) see the NEWS file: https://code.call-cc.org/releases/6.0.0/NEWS Kind regards, The CHICKEN Team
