Hello all,
I wanted to briefly highlight some of the improvements to numerics that
I've recently pushed to stable-2.0.
* 'number->string' now reliably outputs enough digits to produce the
same number when read back in. Previously, it badly mishandled
subnormal numbers (printing them as "#.#"
Wow, that's great. Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH] Add bindings for Linux's `sendfile'
Hello,
Guile (ab)uses ‘makeinfo’ to generate a file, guile-procedures.txt, from
Texinfo. That file is then read at run-time to get docstrings for
Guile’s primitives.
The input looks like this (note the page breaks, aka. ^L):
--8<---cut here---start->8---
ac
Hello all,
Chris K. Jester-Young has been hard at work getting his SRFI-41
implementation ready in time for Guile 2.0.8, and I think it might be
ready to push. What do you think?
Reviews solicited.

Hi,
sendfile looks very useful!
I've thought for a while that if I had time (which I know I won't) I would
make a module called (linux) with bindings for non-POSIX Linux kernel
features. What do you think of this idea? If so, what do you think of
putting sendfile there and expanding it with other

As a server-develop fan, I definitely love it.
Besides, can we add more linux-specific features and add them into a
place like (ice-9 linux)?

Looks great to me, modulo one comment below.
I especially like the fact that although it can make use of the
non-standard Linux syscall, it works properly on a
