GNU 8sync 0.4 released!

Greetings, all! I'm pleased to announce 8sync 0.3! 8sync is a library for GNU Guile which provides an asynchronous event loop and which uses the actor model as its primary concurrency synchronization mechanism. - Release: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/8sync/8sync-0.4.0.tar.gz - Announcement:

GNU 8sync 0.4.1, fixes 0.4.0 packaging

It turns out there was a bug in 8sync 0.4.0's packaging... it installed to Guile 2.0's load path, whereas 8sync is for Guile 2.2 only. This is fixed. Full announcement: https://www.gnu.org/software/8sync/news/8sync-0-4-1-released.html
