	Interface change: S9core PRINT is now called PRINTS; see below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2015-06-27
	Renamed print() function of S9core to prints(). Sorry about the
	inconvenience; "print" is reserved in the Plan 9 C library.

2015-06-15
	General:
		- Factored out the S9 Core, providing a library for
		  implementing dynamic languages. Discussed in s9core.pdf.
		- Real number arithmetics are now a non-optional part of
		  the interpreter.
	Policy changes:
		- Images are preferred over source files on startup, i.e.
		  first all directories of *LIBRARY-PATH* are searched for
		  images, then all directories are searched for source files.
		  The old policy was to load the first image /or/ source
		  from the first directory containing either of those.
		- Existing output files are silently overwritten by
		  the OPEN-OUTPUT-FILE, WITH-OUTPUT-TO-FILE, and
		  WITH-OUTPUT-FILE functions. Previous policy was to signal
		  an error.
		- The S9:S9 procedure will be called last when initializing
		  extensions thereby allowing it to call procedures of
		  other extensions. (Previously, S9:S9 was called first.)
	Additions:
		- The *ARGUMENTS* variable binds to a list of strings
		  containing the command line arguments passed to the
		  /program/ (not to the interpreter), i.e. the ARGS in
		  "-f program args".
	Command line options:
		- The -f flag is now optional, i.e. "s9 -f file args" and
		  "s9 file args" do the same.
		- The "-m size" flag has been split into "-k size" (vectors)
		  and "-n size" (nodes).
		- "-u" is short for "-k 0 -n 0" (unlimited space).
		- "-n" no longer means "do not load rc file".
	Removals:
		- S9 no longer loads an rc file (~/.s9fes/rc) on startup.
		  Use the image file and the (badly documented) S9:S9
		  procedure to do things on start-up.
		- Dropped the "-t count" command line option. The five most
		  recently called procedures will print in error messages.
		- Dropped "imprecise" digits ("#") from number format. Use
		  "5" instead, that's what it did anyway.
		- Dropped the TRACE command.
		- Dropped the DUMP-IMAGE procedure. (Use -d)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	S9 Core Refactoring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2015-06-08
	Fix: (lambda (x) ...) and (define (x) ...) would attempt to
	macro-expand (x). Thanks, David Person!
	Note: this still fails in (cond (x)). Rename X as a work-around.

	Fix: TRACE without arguments could core-dump on some machines. (s9.c)
	Thanks, David Person!
	Made real number division round its mantissa instead of truncating
	it, e.g.: (/ 2 3) --> 0.66...67 instead of 0.66...66. Should improve
	real number precision a bit. (s9-real.c) Suggested by David.
2015-03-10
	Fix: These functions would not terminate for certain values due to
	inappropriate real number comparison: EXP, LOG, COS, SIN, TAN, ATAN,
	SQRT. Thanks to David Person for pointing this out! (s9-real.scm)

	* The default image file contains most of the S9fES library

	* missing LOAD-FROM-LIBRARYs.
2010-06-16

2010-06-02
	Fixed a few bugs in ADVGEN; it only worked due to the below
	bug in S9. :-/
2010-06-01
	Fix: Local environments of *dynamically* scoped (a.k.a. top-level)
	procedures were still being propagated to functions called *iff*
	there were multiple levels of local definitions in the top-level
	procedure, e.g.:
	(define (g) x)
	(define (f) (let ((x 0))
    	              (let () ; <-- this triggered the bug
      	                (g)
      	                #f)))
	(f) ==> 0 ; should be an error (x undefined)

2010-05-30

	(define (g) x)
	(define (f)
	  (let ((x 1))
	    (g)
	    #f))
	(f)
	This happened only if (g) was *not* a tail call. The critical
	part of the fix is:
	+       if (!tail && cdr(Environment) != NIL)
	+               Environment = cdr(Environment);
	in s9.c:bind_arguments().

	giving an inexact number.
2009-06-02
	* I have tested this release on my Alpha with -DBITS_PER_WORD_64
	* and it passed all tests. If make test still fails on Linux/PPC,

	* real numbers other than translating them from/to external
	* representation and comparing them.
2009-05-24
	Added code to detect real number syntax and dispatch it to
	a specialized reader. Yes, this is a first step toward real
	number arithmetics, but don't hold your breath right now.
2009-05-23
	Improved the documentation of the matcher package.
	Removed unused list_of_symbols() function from "s9.c".

	Changed allocation strategy. We will now use half of the
	memory pool at most. OK, this gives us the same space
	efficiency as a copying collector, but with the advantage
	of having cons objects in fixed places on the heap. The
	performance gain is about 35% (zebra puzzle).
2009-05-09
	Minor fix: protected argument in pp_load().
	Made conceptual difference between string and symbol names
	[string() vs. symbol_name(), string_len() vs. symbol_len()].
	Removed clone_string() due to above separation.
	Using O(1) string_len() instead of O(n) strlen() in pp_gensym().

	not allowed; commands were not optional).
	Started rewriting the pretty-printer.
2009-04-26
	Reporting file name in messages when using "-f program" option.
	Made the pretty-printer print '`, and ,@ instead of QUOTE,
	QUASIQUOTE, UNQUOTE, and UNQUOTE-SPLICING.
	Still more clean-up.
2009-04-25
	Even more code clean-up.
2009-04-23

2009-04-10
	Added numeric base prefixes #B, #D, #O, and #X.
2009-04-09

	string and vector literals, either.
2009-04-08
	Added the STATS primitive, which evaluates an expression and
	then prints some interesting data gathered during evaluation.
	Added the VOID procedure, which evaluates to an unspecific value.
2009-04-03
       Fix: a #F literal following an ellipsis in DEFINE-SYNTAX/SYNTAX-RULES
       would be substituted by mistake.
2009-03-30
       A Debian package was created by Barak Pearlmutter. Thanks for the
       package and a few minor but useful patches!
2009-03-22
       Made pair, string, and vector literals immutable, so expressions
       like these no longer work:
         (set-car! '(a b) 'c)
         (set-cdr! '(a b) 'c)
         (string-set! "foo" 0 #\g)
         (vector-set! '#(a b) 0 'c)
2009-03-15
       Added code to make S9fES compile with PCC. Wow, PCC is so much
       faster, still generates good code, and comes with a liberal
       license. Bye, bye, GCC.

       currently unsupported).
       Added UNIX:UNLINK primitive to extended interpreter.
       (ext/unix.c)
2009-03-12

       Fix: DO now binds variables in each iteration rather than
       mutating them.
2009-01-25

2009-01-21
       Added the -i (ignore rc file) command line option.
2009-01-20
       Fix: SYMBOLS was broken by macro expansion.
2009-01-19
       Added STRING-CONTAINS to the library.
       Factored out the LOCATE-FILE procedure, which locates a file in
       $S9FES_LIBRARY_PATH (s9.scm).
       Fixed the implementation of DELAY (it now passes all tests of
       Aubrey Jaffer's R4RS test suite).
2009-01-18
       Added pretty-printer to the library (lib/pretty-print.scm).
       Added code printer to the library (lib/print-code.scm). The
       PRINT-CODE procedure renders Scheme code in HTML with syntax
       highlighting and optional CSS2-based paren matching.
2009-01-17
       Added the DRAW-TREE procedure to the library.
       Fix: bodies of local DEFINEs may have more than one expression
       now.
       Fix: interpreter no longer breaks when attempting to expand
       incomplete quotation and quasiquotation.
2009-01-16
       Updated manual pages.
       Removed FOLD-LEFT and FOLD-RIGHT from the library, because the
       S9fES core already contains them.
       Made FOLD-LEFT, FOLD-RIGHT, and map accept lists of different
       lengths.
2009-01-15
       Added ML-style record data type to library (records.scm).
       Added the SYMBOLS primitive which returns a list of defined
       symbols.
2009-01-14
       Added Another Micro Kanren (amk.scm) and the zebra example
       (zebra.scm) to the library.
       Added automatic library testing (libtest.sh).
2009-01-13
       Imported the regular expression matcher of zenlisp
       (lib/regex.scm).
       Added the STRING-SPLIT, READ-FROM-STRING, AND WRITE-TO-STRING
       procedures to the library.
       Fixed DEFINE-SYNTAX: templates now may contain syntactically
       incorrect binding constructs. Yes, this is important; see
       lib/module.scm for an example.
       Added simple module syntax to the library (module.scm).
2009-01-12
       Removed the SQRT procedure, because it always returned an
       integer. This procedure will be included in a future version as
       INTEGER-SQRT.
       Added the following procedures to the library of loadable
       functions: COMBINE, COUNT, DEPTH, EXISTS, EXPLODE, FACTOR,
       FACTORIAL, FILTER, FLATTEN, FOLD-LEFT, FOLD-RIGHT, FOR-ALL,
       HYPER, IMPLODE, INTEGER-SQRT, INTERSECTION, IOTA, LIST->SET,
       MAKE-PARTITIONS, MERGESORT, PARTITION, PERMUTE, QUICKSORT,
       READ-LINE, REMOVE, REPLACE, SUBSTITUTE, SUM, TRANSPOSE, UNION.
2009-01-11
       Fixed a few more routines that relied on fixed string and vector
       locations and may be broken by vector pool compaction.
       Potentially affected: DEFINE, DEFINE-MACRO, VECTOR->LIST,
       STRING->LIST.
2009-01-10
       I get bitten by this one over and over again. So, note to
       myself:
         C's stupid order of evaluation messes up
         Car[x] = alloc(foo,bar);
         because Car may relocate during GC.
       I have fixed about a dozen instances of this bug in the current
       version, so if you do not like nasty surprises (a.k.a. GC
       leaks), you may want to update.
2009-01-07
       Fix: LOAD-FROM-LIBRARY did not work, because LOAD added bindings
       to the current local environment instead of the global
       environment.
       Loading files should be faster now, because environments are
       re-hashed only once per LOAD.
2009-01-06
       Made s9 -v output more verbose.
       Added LOAD-FROM-LIBRARY procedure.
       Documented internal dynamic variables.
2009-01-02
       Changed allocator strategy. The size of new segments grows
       exponentially now (n^1.5), resulting in a smaller initial memory
       footprint, smaller heap image, and faster adaption to
       memory-intensive applications.
       Changed default memory limit to 12.1M bytes (was 1M bytes).
2009-01-01
       Cleaned up the DEFINE-SYNTAX transformer (s9.scm).
       Fix: the evaluator could block when running out of nodes.
       Added -m size (set memory limit) command line option.
2008-12-14
       Applied some cosmetics.
2008-12-13
       Added -g (GC summaries) command line option.
2008-12-12
       Fixed missing procedure name in some error messages.
2008-12-09
       The interpreter returns to the REPL now when hitting the memory
       limit (MEMORY_LIMIT_KN).
       Changed types of all references to nodes from int to cell in
       order to improve support for 64-bit systems.
       Renamed SYS extension to UNIX.
2008-12-08
       A system called Scheme 9 should run on Plan 9, indeed. Thanks to
       Bakul Shah for pointing this out and helping me to get it
       ported. Thanks to Russ Cox for 9vx.
2008-11-29
       Cleaned up the extension procedure interface. Adding new
       primitives should be a snap now.
2008-11-28
       Cleaned up (internal) definitions of primitive procedures.
2008-11-26
       Moved constant, variable, and macro declarations to a header
       file (s9.h).
2008-11-05
       Fixed a subtle GC bug related to string cloning. Potentially
       affected: STRING-COPY, SYMBOL->STRING, STRING->SYMBOL.
2008-11-01
       Fixed SYS:COMMAND-LINE (would destroy the command line when
       called).
       Cleaned up the build/install process.
2008-10-06
       Fixed a bug that could crash S9 when DEFINEing variables in
       hashed environments. Thanks, Doug Currie.
2008-09-05
       Documented the SYS extension (see s9e(1)).
2008-09-04
       Applied some cosmetics to the syntax rules expander and added an
       example (s9.scm).
2008-09-03
       Applied some cosmetical changes to the C code.
       Cleaned up much of the Scheme code.
       Included experimental SYS extension (see ext/* and EXTENSIONS in s9.c).
       Documented PRINT.
       Added else clause to COND-EXPAND.
       Documented COND-EXPAND.
       Added some macro expansion tests to the test suite.
2007-10-30
       Removed SYNTAX->LIST because it is no longer needed.
2007-10-27
       The interpreter is now printing a call trace in case of an
       error.
2007-10-23
       Fix: DISPLAY can now output NUL characters. (OK, this is not
       really covered by R5RS, but useful, nevertheless.)
2007-10-19
       Extended domain of INTEGER->CHAR to 0..255.
2007-10-17
       Fix: WRITE-CHAR could not output NUL characters.
2007-10-14
       Fix: interpreter core-dumped when $HOME was undefined.
2007-10-07
       Fix: LOAD does not change (CURRENT-INPUT-PORT) any longer.
2007-10-06
       READ now requires string literals to be contained in a single
       line of input.
2007-10-01
       Improved error reporting in DO, LET, and LETREC.
       Allowed multiple expressions in bodies of CASE and improved
       error reporting.
2007-09-28
       Removed record primitives from the interpreter, because they can
       be implemented portably.
2007-09-25
       Removed redundant clauses from FOLD-LEFT and FOLD-RIGHT.
       Fixed a bug in the syntax checker of SYNTAX-RULES.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2007-09-21
       Added some syntax analysis and error reporting to DEFINE-SYNTAX.
2007-09-20
       Added optional string argument to GENSYM. This argument is used
       as a prefix in generated symbols.
       Added an experimental implementation of DEFINE-SYNTAX and
       SYNTAX-RULES in terms of DEFINE-MACRO.
       Added header to image file format.
2007-09-14
       Updated the man page.
2007-09-13
       Added RECORD-TYPE-MATCHES?.
2007-09-12
       Added record tests to test.scm.
2007-09-11
       Added (record-copy record) => record.
       Added (record-signature record) => sig.
       Added (assert-record-type sig record) => record.
2007-09-10
       Added first-class records as an experiment, including the
       following items:
       - Record syntax and external representation:
         #r((tag value ...)).
       - EQUAL? now applies RECORD-EQUAL? to pairs of records.
       - New procedures:
            - (record '(tag value) ...) => record
            - (record? expr) => boolean
            - (record->list record) => list
            - (list->record list) => record
            - (record-ref record tag) => form
            - (record-set! record tag value) => unspecific
            - (record-equal? record1 record2) => boolean
2007-09-09
       Fix: SIGINT could not interrupt runaway macro expansion.
2007-09-08
       Added support for extension procedures (ext/*, experimental, not
       yet in the distribution archive).
2007-09-04
       Cleaned up the LET macro.
       Documented macros (S9(1)).
       Extended and cleaned up the test suite.

       Added => syntax of COND.
       Added named LET syntax.
2007-09-02

       some purposes and too complex internally.
       Implemented DEFINE-MACRO.
       Added GENSYM procedure, because it is required to write some
       macros.
       Rewrote LET, LETREC, LET*, CASE, DELAY using DEFINE-MACRO.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Major change: switching from DEFINE-SYNTAX to DEFINE-MACRO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2007-08-29
       Misc. small, cosmetical changes.
2007-08-20
       Achieved a speed-up of about 10% by the use of hash chaining.
       Fix: heavy computations involving large lists of integers could
       crash the interpreter during GC. Thanks, Mario Deilmann.
2007-08-09
       Made somes changes to support 64-bit architectures (not yet
       finished).
       Fixed two nasty bugs that potentially could crash the
       interpreter.
2007-08-06
       Made OPEN-OUTPUT-PORT fail when the output file already exists.
       This change also affects CALL-WITH-OUTPUT-FILE and
       WITH-OUTPUT-TO-FILE.
       Added DELETE-FILE and FILE-EXISTS? procedures althouth they are
       not R5RS procedures, because they are simply too handy for
       testing file access procedures.
2007-08-05
       Removed segment matches from the syntax expander, because this
       is not required by R5RS, so (x ... y) is not longer a valid
       pattern in SYNTAX-RULES.
       Fix: the body of COND clauses may be empty.
       Fix: made #\SPACE and #\NEWLINE case-insensitive.
       Fix: CALL-WITH-INPUT-FILE and CALL-WITH-OUTPUT-FILE did not
       close their ports before returning.
       Removed #\LINEFEED (not in R5RS).
       Fix: made LIST? detect cyclic structures.
       Removed R6RS-style comments.
       Made the test suite more general, so that it does not make
       assumptions about behavior not specified in R5RS.
2007-07-21
       Fix: Syntax expansion was done after quasiquote expansion, but
       should have done before it.
2007-07-18
       Fixed a bug in _bignum_divide(): a GC leak could occur when the
       divisor was greater than the dividend.
2007-07-16
       Simplified test suite using DEFINE-SYNTAX. It is smaller,
       cleaner, and also siginificantly slower now (due to syntax
       transformation overhead).
2007-07-06
       Applied some minor, mostly cosmetical changes to s9.c.
2007-07-04
       Fix: STRING-APPEND did not check the types of its arguments.

       Added hash tables to environments for faster lookup speed.
       Fix: the sane environment was not GC-safe in the REPL.
2007-05-11
       Fix: `'(,(+ 1 2)) reduced to '(,(+ 1 2)). It now (correctly)
       reduces to '(3).
2007-05-05
       Fix: clauses of CASE could not contain multiple expressions.
2007-04-26
       Made missing program file an error condition in -f program
       command line option.
2007-04-24
       Fix: local ports of WITH-INPUT-FROM-FILE and WITH-OUTPUT-TO-FILE
       were not GC-safe.
       Added -q (quiet) command line option.
       Updated man page.
2007-04-21
       Made more cosmetical changes.
2007-04-20
       Made some minor cosmetical changes.
2007-04-19

       Updated test suite.
2007-04-14
       Implemented local DEFINEs by rewriting them to LAMBDA and SET!
       (like LETREC).
       Added rc file support: if a ~/.s9fes/rc file exists, it is
       loaded at start-up time.
       Updated test suite.
       Updated man page.
2007-04-13
       Implemented QUASIQUOTE, UNQUOTE, and UNQUOTE-SPLICING.
       Added EXPAND-QUASIQUOTE to library. This procedure rewrites
       quasiquoted expressions to expressions not using quasiquotation.
       Note: you currently cannot quasiquote improper lists.
2007-04-12
       Documented ** (most recent top level result).
       Created a distribution archive.
       Added "install" target to Makefile.
2007-04-11
       Added "additions" section to man page. It describes the non-R5RS
       procedures of S9fES.
       Applied some minor optimizations to EXPAND-SYNTAX.
       Moved part of syntax transformation code into s9.c.
       Added DELAY and FORCE to library.
       Added ** symbol, which always binds to the result most recently
       returned to the REPL.
2007-04-10
       Added SIGINT (abort input or interrupt program) and SIGQUIT
       (emergency exit) handlers. If your system does not support POSIX
       signals, compile with -DNO_SIGNALS to omit signal handling.
       Added -ansi -pedantic compilation flags, removed some flaws.
       Implemented DEFINE-SYNTAX and SYNTAX-RULES special form
       handlers.
       Added SYNTAX->LIST helper (non-R5RS; used in syntax expansion).
       Added EXPAND-SYNTAX (non-R5RS), which performs syntax
       transformation behind the scenes.
       Note: This is an import of the potentially buggy SketchyLISP
       syntax transformer. To be improved.
       Added CASE syntax to library.

       FOLD-LEFT (R6RS), FOLD-RIGHT (R6RS), MAP-CAR (non-R5RS).
       Added arithmetic functions to library: ABS, EVEN?, EXPT, GCD,
       LCM, MAX, MIN, MODULO, NEGATIVE?, ODD?, POSITIVE?, SQRT, ZERO?.
       Updated test suite.
2007-04-07
       Implemented CHAR-DOWNCASE, CHAR-LOWER-CASE?, CHAR-NUMERIC?,

2007-04-06
       Implemented OPEN-INPUT-FILE, OPEN-OUTPUT-FILE, CLOSE-INPUT-PORT,
       CLOSE-OUTPUT-PORT.
       Made the garbage collector close unused ports.
       Implemented SET-INPUT-PORT!, SET-OUTPUT-PORT!, both non-R5RS.
       These will facilitate the implementation of WITH-INPUT-FROM-FILE
       and WITH-OUTPUT-TO-FILE.
       Fix: made READ-CHAR and PEEK-CHAR return the EOF object on EOF.
       Implemented CHAR-CI<=?, CHAR-CI<?, CHAR-CI=?, CHAR-CI>=?,
       CHAR-CI>?, CHAR<=?, CHAR<?, CHAR=?, CHAR>=?, CHAR>?.
