Subject: Announcing guile-hobbit-1.3.3


The subject says it all...

>From the README file:

This is version 1.3.3 of the hobbit compiler for Guile.

What is hobbit ?
================
Hobbit is a Scheme to C compiler, originally written for SCM by  
Tanel Tammet (tammet@cs.chalmers.se). It compiles all R4RS (with the
exception of mutual tail recursion and hygienic macros) and some
SCM specific stuff. Defmacros are supported.

>From the NEWS file:

Changes between version 1.3.3 and 1.3.2 of the hobbit compiler for Guile:

- keyword support added
- option -m is suppressed (it is now the default)
- every pass of the compiler is now a module 
- self-compiling of all 6 passes
- several bug-fixes (mostly related to different order of evaluation
  between Scheme and C)
- scm_variable_{get,set_x} are used for global variables

How to download:
anonymous ftp at ftp.red-bean.com
in /pub/guile/contrib/misc/guile-hobbit-1.3.3.tgz

As an example using hobbit, there is also at the same site a STklos
port in file /pub/guile/contrib/misc/guile-stklos-1.3.2b.tgz

Thanks to Mikael Djurfeldt for making the download possible, and to
all the other people who have offered alternate ftp sites.
