Version 1.3 of Guile is now available via anonymous FTP from
prep.ai.mit.edu, in pub/gnu.

Guile is a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in C.
Guile provides a machine independent execution platform that can be
linked in as a library when  building extensible programs.

The mailing list `guile@cygnus.com' carries discussions, questions,
and often answers, about Guile.  To subscribe, send mail to
guile-request@cygnus.com.  Of course, please send bug reports (and
fixes!) to bug-guile@gnu.org.  Note that one address is @cygnus.com,
and the other is at @gnu.org.

This release contains many bug fixes and incremental improvements.
In particular:
- The C API has been revised in many places, based on input from users.
- The `guile-config' script makes it easier to compile and link C code
  that uses Guile.
- The blocking behavior of the cooperative threading system is
  improved.
- Guile can now use the readline library when run interactively, 
  providing full command editing, history, and completion.

For further details, see NEWS, in the distribution.
