+
+ * doc/ref/api-io.texi (R6RS I/O Ports): Remove 1.8ish comment.
+
+* add pointer->scm, scm->pointer
+
+ * libguile/foreign.c (scm_pointer_to_scm, scm_scm_to_pointer): New

+
+ * libguile/continuations.c (scm_handler, c_handler)
+ (scm_c_with_continuation_barrier, scm_with_continuation_barrier):
+ Instead of calling scm_handle_by_message_noexit in the pre-unwind
+ handler, roll our own exception printing in the pre-unwind, and do to
+ exit()-on-quit in the post-unwind handler. This lets the stack unwind
+ at exit-time so that pending dynwinds run.
+
+ * test-suite/tests/continuations.test ("continuations"): Add a test.
+
+* string->pointer and pointer->string have optional encoding arg
+
+"Void Pointers and Byte Access" in the manual.

+
+ Fix the R6RS exact-integer-sqrt and import into core guile
+
+ * libguile/numbers.c (scm_exact_integer_sqrt): New C procedure to
+ compute exact integer square root and remainder.
+ (scm_i_exact_integer_sqrt): New Scheme procedure `exact-integer-sqrt'
+ from the R6RS, imported into core guile.
+
+ * libguile/numbers.h: Add prototypes.
+
+ * module/rnrs/base.scm: Remove broken stub implementation, which would
+ fail badly when applied to large integers.
+
+ * doc/ref/api-data.texi: Add documentation.
+
+ * doc/ref/r6rs.texi: Change documentation for `exact-integer-sqrt' to a
+ stub that xrefs the core docs, as is done for other operations
+ available in core.
+
+ * test-suite/tests/numbers.test: Add tests.
+
+ * NEWS: Add news entries.

+
+ ignore SIGPIPE in (system repl server)
+
+ * module/system/repl/server.scm (run-server): Ignore SIGPIPE when we run
+ a server, as otherwise a rudely disconnected client could cause the
+ server to quit. Thanks to John Proctor for the report, and Detlev
+ Zundel for the debugging.

+ refactor scm_i_print_symbol_name
+
+ * libguile/print.c (symbol_has_extended_read_syntax)
+ (print_normal_symbol, print_extended_symbol, scm_i_print_symbol_name):
+ Factor scm_i_print_symbol_name into separate routines. Add comments.
+ There are a number of bugs here.

+
+ read-extended-symbol handles backslash better, including r6rs hex escapes
+
+ * libguile/read.c (scm_read_extended_symbol): Interpret '\' as an escape
+ character. Due to some historical oddities we have to support '\'
+ before any character, but since we never emitted '\' in front of
+ "normal" characters like 'x' we can interpret "\x..;" to be an R6RS
+ hex escape.
+
+ * test-suite/tests/reader.test ("#{}#"): Add tests.

+
+ symbols with odd characters print better in #{}#
+
+ * libguile/print.c (symbol_has_extended_read_syntax): Use a more
+ general, unicode-appropriate algorithm. Hopefully doesn't cause
+ any current #{}# cases to be unescaped.
+ (print_extended_symbol): Use more appropriate unicode algorithm, and
+ emit unicode hex escapes instead of our own lame escapes.
+
+ * test-suite/tests/symbols.test: Add tests.
