Scheme Weekly News

	This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the
	Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups,
	mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of.	Feel free to
	send me more.  The aim is to publish in multiple formats on the
	web each week, but more on that very soon.  (Date: 2002-09-09)

Gauche-gtk 0.1

	Initial release of GTK2 bindings for Gauche.  Lots of missing
	calls, but developers are asked to test it and report bugs.
	It probably helps if you know some GTK2 already.

Guile 1.6.0

	First release of the new stable branch of Guile Scheme from GNU.
	Expanded functionality, including more SRFI support and better
	documentation.

Guile bindings for GSL and LAPACK

	(Download link)  Bindings for the GNU Scientific Library and
	(to a much lesser extent) LAPACK.  Includes fast implementations
	of a number of numerical routines.

	block comments, module inheritance and debugging features.
