We are pleased to annouce the availability of Guile 1.5.4 for testing.
The 1.5.X series is a BETA series, intended only for testing, so please don't put it into a distribution or anything similar. Once we've hammered out any serious bugs, we'll make the stable release of 1.6.0. However it no longer looks like the 1.6 release is imminent. There is a discussion going on right now about waiting until we have a more clearly documented migration path for 1.4 users. (For those on the Gnucash list, note that Gnucash is and g-wrap not yet compatible with guile 1.5.X, so don't bother testing that...) You can find the file here: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guile/guile-1.5.4.tar.gz If you're interested in testing, please try as much of the following as is convenient: + Make sure to unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH. + Remove automake and autoconf from your path, or turn off their execute bits, or something. (Users must be able to build the distribution without installing these tools.) + Configure, make, and install. + Try "make check". + Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't include anything unnecessary. + Run the test suite on the installed version like this: ./check-guile -i [INSTALL_PATH]/bin/guile (If you were mailed individually, it's because you're listed in the RELEASE file as a testing volunteer, and if you'd like to be removed from that list, please let us know.)
