Scheme Weekly News for 2003-06-02
This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups, mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of. Feel free to send me more. The aim is to publish in multiple formats on the web each week, but more on that very soon.
MIT-Scheme becomes MIT/GNU-Scheme
MIT-Scheme has been accepted into the GNU project and moved to development hosting on GNU's Savannah server.
Gauche is a Scheme implementation that aims to be fast enough for Unix system scripting and has some distinctive features, including character set handling. This release has a new build system, adds several modules and experimental ipv6, as well as fixing some bugs.
The 2003 Scheme Workshop will take place on Friday, 7 November 2003 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, co-located with the Lightweight Languages Workshop (whatever that means). The submission deadline is 1 August 2003 (UTC).
Speakhtml is an HTML generator using hooks to produce complex HTML simply. This version includes improved documentation and a postscript version of it, but is otherwise the same as 1.0
LAML is a Scheme-based software package for programming and authoring of complex web material, and for CGI programming. LAML can be used with most Scheme systems, on both Windows and Unix (including Linux). The most significant change in version 20 is automatic generation of validating mirrors from XML DTDs.
Submissions for the 31st Annual ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages on 14-16 January 2004 in Venice, Italy should be received by 18 July.
GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific document editor inspired by TeX and Emacs but implemented in Guile Scheme. This version implements underbraces, overbraces and wide characters, as well as including the normal bugfixing.
Scheme UK is a group of schemers from the UK, meeting in London. The next meeting will be Thursday, 5 June 2003 at 7pm, covering Scheme compilers for the CLR and the death of design patterns.

Bugloo aims to help programmers in debugging programs written for the JVM backend of Bigloo. It is written for the most part in Java, and uses JVMDI and JVMPI, the standard APIs for debuggers. This release improves the bindings for Emacsen, fixes some bugs, adds a way to select arbitrary objects in the heap, automatic breakpointing and some other enhancements.
Papers for the Workshop on Reflectively Extensible Programming Languages and Sytems (REPLS) at The International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE'03) on 22 September 2003 in Erfurt Germany must be submitted by 30 June.
PLT Scheme is a multi-platform Scheme implementation with a sophisticated module system and extensive libraries, capable of being byte-compiled. The release revives the help desk viewer, adds channels, integrates some schematics SRFI modules, updates match.ss and improves the error display.
