-Changes in 1.9.14 (since the 1.9.13 prerelease):
-
-** New module: `(ice-9 futures)'.
-    
-See "Futures" in the manual, for more information.
-
-** Add bindings to GNU `sched_setaffinity' and `sched_getaffinity'.
-    
-See "Processes" in the manual, for more information.
-
-** New module `(srfi srfi-38)', External Representation for Data With Shared Structure
-
-See "SRFI-38" in the manual, for more information.  Thanks to Andreas
-Rottmann.
-
-** New module: `(web uri)', URI data type, parser, and unparser
-** New module: `(web http)', HTTP header parsers and unparsers
-** New module: `(web request)', HTTP request data type, reader, and writer
-** New module: `(web response)', HTTP response data type, reader, and writer
-** New module: `(web server)', Generic HTTP server
-** New module: `(ice-9 poll)', a poll wrapper
-** New module: `(web server http)', HTTP-over-TCP web server implementation
-
-See "Web" in the manual, for more information, but as a taste of things,
-try the following command line:
-
-  meta/guile examples/web/debug-sxml.scm
-
-Then visit http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser.  Let us know how
-it goes!
-
-** Better Emacs Lisp implementation
-
-Brian Templeton's Summer-of-Code work was finally merged in, which
-should improve the state of Guile's Elisp support.  There is still some
-work to do, so patches are welcome!
-
-** R6RS fixes
-
-There were many fixes and enhancements to the R6RS support.  Thanks to
-Julian Graham, Andreas Rottmann, and Göran Weinholt.
-
-** Expression-oriented readline history
-    
-Guile's readline history now tries to operate on expressions instead of
-input lines.  Let us know what you think!
-
-** Better syntax errors
-
-The Scheme expander, Ecmascript compiler, and other language
-implementations now produce more useful syntax errors.  The default
-error handlers print them out more nicely now.
-
-** Lots of documentation updates
-
-In particular, the documentation for GOOPS and regular expressions has
-seen some work.  Unfortunately the code has come too fast and furious
-for full documentary folios, so some of the new modules are still
-undocumented.
-
-** Better pretty-printing
-
-Indentation recognizes more special forms, like `syntax-case', and read
-macros like `quote' are printed better.
-
-** Multicast socket options
-
-Support was added for the IP_MULTICAST_TTL and IP_MULTICAST_IF socket
-options.  See "Network Sockets and Communication" in the manual, for
-more information.
-
-** Deprecate `cuserid'
-    
-`cuserid' has been deprecated, as it only returns 8 bytes of a user's
-login.  Use `(passwd:name (getpwuid (geteuid)))' instead.
-    
-** New procedure `reload-module', and `,reload' REPL command
-    
-See "Module System Reflection" and "Module Commands" in the manual, for
-more information.
-
-** New `,in' REPL command
-
-See "Module Commands" in the manual, for more information.
-
-** Allow user-defined REPL meta-commands
-    
-This feature is not documented yet.  See `define-meta-command' in
-`(system repl command)'.
-
-** Add support for unbound fluids
-    
-See `make-unbound-fluid', `fluid-unset!', and `fluid-bound?' in the
-manual.
-
-** Add `variable-unset!'
-    
-See "Variables" in the manual, for more details.
-
-** New procedures: `compose', `negate', and `const'
-
-See "Higher-Order Functions" in the manual, for more information.
-
-** Command line additions
-
-The guile binary now supports a new switch "-x", which can be used to
-extend the list of filename extensions tried when loading files
-(%load-extensions).
