We are delighted to announce GNU Guile 2.9.6, the sixth beta release in preparation for the upcoming 3.0 stable series. See the release announcement for full details and a download link.
This release fixes bugs caught by users of the previous 2.9.5
prerelease, and adds some optimizations as well as a guile-3 feature
for cond-expand.
In this release, we also took the opportunity to do some more rigorous benchmarking:
GNU Guile 2.9.6 is a beta release, and as such offers no API or ABI stability guarantees. Users needing a stable Guile are advised to stay on the stable 2.2 series.
As always, experience reports with GNU Guile 2.9.6, good or bad, are
very welcome; send them to guile-devel@gnu.org. If you know you found
a bug, please do send a note to bug-guile@gnu.org. Happy hacking!
