0.1.0 = "2.4.20"
(27th April, 2003) |
First release of Schemix. |
0.2.0
(23rd June, 2003) |
Schemix has a concept of kernel name-spaces
(symbols of the form module-name::symbol-name),
and it builds as a module, or as part of the kernel,
on Linux versions 2.4.x and 2.5.x.
It can optionally use kallsyms and/or devfs.
It understands all primitive C types, and also
supports multidimensional arrays of C types in
a way that is compatable with SRFI 25.
For each independent Scheme interpreter, you can
enable and disable debug messages at run-time.
There is a 'help' function for getting help on
built-in procedures. |
0.2.1
(22nd July, 2003) |
This is mostly a bugfix release.
Parts of Schemix can now be written in Scheme,
which has enabled Schemix to become very nearly R4RS. |
| 0.3.0 | Schemix understands all of the kernel structures,
and can define new types of structure, and can
emit C code to define the new structures so that
new modules written in C can use them. |
| 0.4.0 | Schemix can make calls to all kernel functions. |
| 0.5.0 | Schemix can re-implement one of the hardware drivers. |
| 0.6.0 | Schemix can re-implement most things in /proc. |
| 0.7.0 | Schemix can insert hooks into kernel functions. |
| 0.8.0 | Support is added for floating-point, rational
and complex numbers and bignums. |
| 0.9.0 | Schemix is R5RS compliant. |
| 1.0.0 | Lots of testing - first stable release. |
| 1.1.0 | The "define" special form tries to avoid boxing
and unboxing kernel values whenever it can,
e.g. when there are expressions of the form
(set! kernel::a (+ kernel::b kernel::c)). |
| 1.2.0 | The "define" special form compiles some Scheme
code to native machine code for faster execution. |
