I don't know that anyone noticed, but our previous entry for this
release was quite wrong.  Apparently we (I) had never added a new
section for 1.6.8 after the 1.6.7 release.  Here's the corrected NEWS
(also in CVS):

  Changes since Guile 1.6.7 (changes in 1.6.8):

  * Changes to the distribution

  ** A number of GCC 4.0 related build problems have been fixed.

  A number of changes have been made to accomodate GCC 4.0.

  * Changes to the stand-alone interpreter

  * Changes to Scheme functions and syntax

  ** The r5rs numerator and denominator functions have been added.

  These are now available in the default environment.

  * Changes to the C interface 

There are only two changes that the user would want to know about?
