Vicare Scheme is an R6RS compliant fork of Ikarus Scheme, aiming to be a
native compiler for R6 Scheme producing single threaded programs running
on  Intel x86 32-bit  processors, with  experimental support  for 64-bit
machines; it is tested only  on GNU+Linux, no official support for other
platforms is present.  It implements a foreign-functions interface based
on Libffi.  "Vicare" is pronounced the etruscan way.

  The latest  version of this package  can be downloaded  from Github or

this project has a mailing list:

  It  is suggested to  use Vicare  Scheme along  with Nausicaa,  a large
collection of R6 Scheme libraries:

Notes for revision 0.2d14
-------------------------

This is mostly a bug fix release.

* Added  library (vicare  platform  features)  exporting one  identifier
  syntax for each HAVE_ constant  defined by "configure".  At present it
  is maintained by hand.

* Fixed distribution of Scheme libraries and test files.

* Fixed GNU  Automake stuff to  have the "make distcheck"  rule complete
  successfully despite some test failures.
