* Changes to Scheme functions and syntax
** The empty combination is no longer valid syntax.
Previously, the expression "()" evaluated to the empty list. This has
been changed to signal a "missing expression" error. The correct way
to write the empty list as a literal constant is to use quote: "'()".
** Auto-loading of compiled-code modules is deprecated.
Guile used to be able to automatically find and link a shared
libraries to satisfy requests for a module. For example, the module
`(foo bar)' could be implemented by placing a shared library named
"foo/libbar.so" (or with a different extension) in a directory on the
load path of Guile.
This has been found to be too tricky, and is no longer supported.
What you should do instead now is to write a small Scheme file that
explicitly calls `dynamic-link' to load the shared library and
`dynamic-call' to initialize it.
The shared libraries themselves should be installed in the usual
places for shared libraries, with names like "libguile-foo-bar".
For example, place this into a file "foo/bar.scm"
(define-module (foo bar))
(dynamic-call "foobar_init" (dynamic-link "libguile-foo-bar"))
The file name passed to `dynamic-link' should not contain an
extension. It will be provided automatically.
** The module system has been made more disciplined.
The function `eval' will now save and restore the current module
