[Chicken-hackers] CHICKEN 4.9.0rc1 is available

[Mario Domenech Goulart]

Hi,

The first release candidate for CHICKEN 4.9.0 has been released.  It's
available at
http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2014/04/17/chicken-4.9.0rc1.tar.gz

See http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2014/04/17/NEWS for the list
of changes.

Please, give it a test and report back to the mailing list your
findings.

Here's a suggested test procedure:

  $ make PLATFORM=<platform> PREFIX=<some dir> install check
  $ <some dir>/bin/chicken-install pastiche

If you want to build CHICKEN with a compiler other than the default one,
just use C_COMPILER=<the compiler> (e.g., C_COMPILER=clang) on the make
invocation.

Of course, feel free to explore other supported build options (see the
README file for more information) and actually use CHICKEN 4.9.0rc1 for
your software.

If you can, please let us know the following information about the
environment you tested the RC tarball on:

Operating system: (e.g., FreeBSD 10.0, Debian 7, Windows XP mingw-msys)
Hardware platform: (e.g., x86, x86-64, PPC)
C Compiler: (e.g., GCC 4.8.1, clang 3.0-6.2)
Installation works?: yes or no
Tests work?: yes or no
Installation of eggs works?: yes or no

Thanks in advance.

The CHICKEN Team
