Version 1.0.2 of the "readable" package is now available!!
It's a collection of small tweaks and improvements, primarily in the
documentation and Scheme implementation. Having many small improvements is a
*good* thing. In particular, there are no incompatible interface/language
changes; I view avoiding incompatible language changes as critically important.
Below is the ChangeLog entry for this version, which describes the highlights.
If you want more detail, "git log -p" will tell all.
--- David A. Wheeler
ChangeLog for version 1.0.2:
* Various minor Scheme bug fixes, e.g., improve EOF handling during
symbol reading, fix detection of unsupported #.
* Many portability improvements, especially for Chicken Scheme and
rscheme. E.G., remove all "#:" in source,
change "throw" to "raise", rename internal "body" to "read-body".
Modify sweet-run so it works unchanged on Mac OS Darwin.
* Many changes to eliminate warnings in various Schemes, e.g.,
change (cond .. #t) to (cond .. else); either is legal Scheme,
but chicken Scheme emits warnings on the former.
* Add the following as delimiters: #\' and #\` and #\.
These are not required to be delimiters in Scheme, but
they can be, and doing so means that we can detect syntax errors
of very dodgy constructs. This means that x'y will be
considered an error, not a 3-char symbol. We can already express
that as |x'y|, and (x 'y) or x('y) work for making a list.
* Optimize read-digits.
* Improve Scheme error reporting when giving "Unexpected text
after n-expression" by reporting the next (peeked) character.
* Add #!keyword-prefix and #!keyword-suffix support so can handle
syntax like STUFF: and :STUFF.
* Modify Scheme sweet-run so that it returns the program exit code.
* Add type annotations in chicken format, and ensure it does not
interfere with other Schemes like guile.
