We are pleased to announce GNU Guile 1.9.7. It is the eighth pre-release of what will eventually become the 2.0 stable series, featuring a compiler and virtual machine.
This release improves the efficiency of function call dispatch in the VM, adds a new debugger, new profiling and tracing commands at the REPL, as well as new modules (SSAX, Texinfo). See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2010-01/msg00092.html for the complete announcement.
