Subject: STklos 0.82 - a Scheme compiler/interpreter

This is an announce for the 0.82 release of STklos.

STklos is a free Scheme System (nearly) conform to R5RS. The aim of this
implementation is to be fast as well as light. The implementation is
based on an ad-hoc Virtual Machine. STklos can also be compiled as a
library, so that one can easily embeds it in an application.

The salient points of STklos are:
      * efficient and powerful object system based on CLOS providing
          - Multiple Inheritance,
          - Generic Functions,
          - Multi-methods
          - an efficient MOP (Meta Object Protocol)
      * a simple to use module system
      * implements the full tower of numbers defined in R5RS
      * easy connection to the GTK+ toolkit
      * Perl compatible regular expressions thanks to the PCRE package.
      * tail recursive calls are properly implemented

Changes in this release:
    * Added the --debug option to the interpreter
    * Better error messages when in debug mode and more correct line numbers
    * Updated Dominique Boucher lalr parser to the latest version
    * Better error messages for POSIX functions
    * Internal macro definition are allowed now
    * New parameters for controlling compilation
    * New primitives
          o null-environment
          o scheme-report-environment
          o interaction-environment
          o directory-files
          o make-directory
          o delete-directory
    * Bug fixes
