Congratulations! A long awaited release!
P.S in the Wiki there is a perfect page https://wiki.call-cc.org/programming-for-performance#programming-for-performance IMO there should be a couple words added about building faster C6 and (generated native code) itself by the new ./configure way. "Optimization flags, like -O2 -march=native or -ffast-math should be passed to the ./configure script in the environment variable CFLAGS: $ CFLAGS="-march-native -O2 ... -ffast-math ./configure --prefix=...."
