Re: [Texmacs-dev] GNU Guile 3.0.0 released and some suggestions for future GNU TeXmacs

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

I’ve just tried and TeXmacs runs fine with Guile 1.6.8 on my MacBook Air 
(Catilina).

I wonder what, from our point of view, is the substantial difference between 
1.6 and 1.8. The advantage of 1.6 is that essentially requires no other 
library, while 1.8 has a host of dependencies (which however are standard, so 
not much of an issue on Linux).
