QScheme version 0.3.1 is published yet. There is the traditionnal load of bugfixes and a new features, mainly: Gtk/libglade bindings. Still not perfect but mostly working now. You can now program Gtk applications directly with QScheme. Help online with the whatis function. Better conformance with R5RS. Ability to define new Scheme type on the fly which could be use to bind QScheme and C libraries with the Foreign Function Interface. Better documentation, still not perfect. Comments are welcome. New string functions like string-pack and unpack. Structures (records) with intermix of foreign and scheme objects And a lot more... The documentation about the freshly added structure is not yet written. If you are interested, you should try to read the tstlib.defs and tstlib.c file to see some example about this feature. Functions related to structures are a little documented through the help online. (see the whatis procedure).  Feb 16, 2000 - QScheme 0.3.1 not plublished yet I have decided to work a little more to include structures in the release. I don't know if it's a good idea!  Feb 12, 2000 - New site is coming It's nearly finished now.  Feb 9, 2000 - Heavy site relooking Complete site relooking. This is because I plan to release snapshot versions of QScheme and I do not want to spend to much time to maintain this site  Older news I had a lot of waste time. QScheme has been developped in various area, but the site has not been updated to reflect the changes correctly. Sorry for that. Sept 21, 1999 - QScheme 0.3.0
