The new release (1.7) of Bigloo, a Scheme compiler and interpreter,
is now available by ftp at the address


          [192.93.2.54] `ftp.inria.fr:/INRIA/Projects/icsla/Implementations'




This new release was successfully compiled on:


- SPARC 1, 2, 10 (under SunOS 4.xx and Solaris 2.xx)
- SONY-NEWS (mips r3000)
- DEC Station 3100 (mips r3000)
- HP-PA (730)
- PC-linux 1.1.61 (i486)
- DEC Station Alpha (OSF/1 V2.0)


The compiler should run correctly (but has not been tested) on:


- NeXT 68k
- IBM RS-6000 (AIX)


Major changes from the release 1.6 are:


- An `assertion' mechanism has been added.


- Improvement of the `repl' function.


- Addition of new optimizations (type bigloo -help).


- Utilization of the new Boehm's GC release (v 4.3)


- Port for 64 bits architecture.


- Rgc improvements.


- Redesign of the pretty-printer (Bigloo now, uses the Marc Feeley's
                    one).


- Addition of user's hash-tables.


- Addition of the function `open-input-string' which open an input
                    port on strings.
