-Guile-VM NEWS
-
-
-Guile-VM is a bytecode compiler and virtual machine for Guile.
-
-
-guile-vm 0.7 -- 2008-05-20
-==========================
-
-* Initial release with NEWS.
-
-* Revived from Keisuke Nishida's Guile-VM project from 2000-2001, with
-  the help of Ludovic Courtès.
-
-* Meta-level changes
-** Updated to compile with Guile 1.8.
-** Documentation updated, including documentation on the instructions.
-** Added benchmarking and a test harness.
-
-* Changes to the inventory
-** Renamed the library from libguilevm to libguile-vm.
-** Added new executable script, guile-disasm.
-
-* New features
-** Add support for compiling macros, both defmacros and syncase macros.
-Primitive macros produced with the procedure->macro family of procedures
-are not supported, however.
-** Improvements to the REPL
-Multiple values support, readline integration, ice-9 history integration
-** Add support for eval-case
-The compiler recognizes compile-toplevel in addition to load-toplevel
-** Completely self-compiling
-Almost, anyway: not (system repl describe), because it uses GOOPS
-
-* Internal cleanups
-** Internal objects are now based on Guile records.
-** Guile-VM's code doesn't use the dot-syntax any more.
-** Changed (ice-9 match) for Kiselyov's pmatch.scm
-** New instructions: define, link-later, link-now, late-variable-{ref,set}
-** Object code now represented as u8vectors instead of strings.
-** Remove local import of an old version of slib
-
-* Bugfixes
-** The `optimize' procedure is coming out of bitrot
-** The Scheme compiler is now more strict about placement of internal
-   defines
-** set! is now compiled differently from define
-** Module-level variables are now bound at first use instead of in the
-   program prolog
-** Bugfix to load-program (stack misinterpretation)
