Changes in 3.0.9 (since 3.0.8)

Notable changes

New interfaces and functionality

• New `spawn' procedure to spawn child processes
• `open-file' now supports an "e" flag for O_CLOEXEC
• `pipe' now takes flags as an optional argument
• Bindings to `openat' and friends
• Abstract Unix-domain sockets are supported
• New socket-related constants defined
• New `bytevector-slice' procedure
• Disassembler now shows intrinsic names
• Linker and assembler consume less memory

Bug fixes

• JIT compilation is now supported on Apple M1 processors
• Type sizes are correctly determined when cross-compiling
• psyntax honors source properties coming from read hash extensions
• ./configure checks whether the linker supports '-flto' (needed on macOS)
• libguile/srfi-14.i.c is now longer shipped and is instead built from source
• Cross-compilation supports triplets with empty vendor strings
• It is possible to use a 'library-form' inside 'cond-expand' in R7RS libraries
• 'coverage-data->lcov' accepts a #:modules argument as documented
• 'connect' returns #f upon EAGAIN, not just EINPROGRESS
• (web http) capitalizes the "Basic" authorization header
• (web http) terminates chunked encoding with an extra \r\n
• (web client) retries TLS handshake upon non-fatal errors
• 'primitive-load' opens files as O_CLOEXEC
• Baseline compiler no longer crashes on (not (list 1 2))
• Fix documentation of ‘mkdir’ Previously, the documentation implied the umask was ignored if the mode was set explicitly. However, this is not the case.
• 'system*' honors output/error port redirects
• 'open-input-pipe' & co. are now much faster
• Fix crash with out-of-bound indexes with string-ref' and fluid-ref*'
• Fix infinite loop when compiling (make-vector)
