CHICKEN Scheme 6.0.0 moves strings to UTF-8 and puts R7RS small in the core system
- Sources: primary, release, discussion
- Summary: CHICKEN Scheme 6.0.0 changes the string representation to UTF-8 and moves R7RS small support into the core system. The NEWS file records removals and relocations alongside additions, including the blob read syntax, several SRFI module aliases, and primitives moved out of
chicken.base. - Why it matters: Existing programs and eggs need porting rather than a version bump.
