Hello! Andy Wingo wi...@pobox.com writes: This is unfortunate, to have a new dependency, and on a library that's not in released distros, nor even very googlable. (I'm on the fedora 11 prereleases, and it seems there is no unistring package.) I agree. Hopefully libunistring will become more

Hi! Andy Wingo wi...@pobox.com writes: Yes. We probably would need the longer freeze (of 10 days) to get the docs and NEWS and things in shape for this one, meaning no new code should go in between the 5th and the 15th, just testing and doc updates and regression fixes. Sound good to you?

[PATCH] R6RS bytevector/port API documentation

2009-05-28 Thread Ludovic Courtès
Hello, Attached is the proposed documentation of the R6RS bytevector and port APIs I just added. The Bytevectors node right is after Strings but we might just as well put it between Uniform Numeric Vectors and Bit Vectors. Opinions? FYI, the printed manual reaches 656 pages. :-) Thanks in
