Hello all,
The fourth release candidate for CHICKEN 5.3.0 is now available for
download:
https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2021/10/06/chicken-5.3.0rc4.tar.gz
The sha256sum of that tarball is:
ba8da800e708c423c0e6e812fa2a93b947c731e52d115988b0c0f84406040e14
The list of changes since 5.2.0 and 5.3.0rc4 is available here:
https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2021/10/06/NEWS
This release candidate fixes a regression that happened somewhere
between 5.2.0 and 5.3.0 which meant static linking was broken for
programs that used certain builtin modules (#1788).
It also introduces a safety check in the setters for current-user-id,
current-effective-user-id and current-group-id to ensure that only
fixnums are passed in (#1787).
Please give this new release candidate a try and report your findings
to the mailing list. Here's a suggested test procedure:
$ make PREFIX=<directory> install check
$ <directory>/bin/chicken-install pastiche
If you can, please let us know the following information about the
environment on which you test the RC:
