      <title>Chicken SDL v0.4.51117.0</title>
      <link>http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/_STORY_/tech/releases/chicken-sdl-0.4.51117.0.html</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A new release of &lt;tt&gt;chicken-sdl&lt;/tt&gt; is available from our &lt;a
href="http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/_STORY_/tech/repos"&gt;code
repository&lt;/a&gt;. You can download the &lt;tt&gt;egg&lt;/tt&gt; file &lt;a
href="http://www.eighty-twenty.org//releases/sdl-0.4.51117.0.egg"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Interesting changes include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt; Switch to Chicken 2.x conventions for invoking &lt;code&gt;syntax-case&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>From TLA to Darcs</title>
      <link>http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/_STORY_/tech/releases/archives-moved-2.html</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
I've finally gotten around to moving many of our TLA archives over to
&lt;a href="http://www.darcs.net/"&gt;Darcs&lt;/a&gt;. I simply sealed the TLA
versions and imported the sealed snapshot into Darcs, without
transferring the history.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The main public projects I've darcsified are &lt;a
href="http://www.eighty-twenty.org/~tonyg/Darcs/chicken-sdl"&gt;chicken-sdl&lt;/a&gt;
and &lt;a href="http://www.eighty-twenty.org/~tonyg/Darcs/gyre"&gt;gyre&lt;/a&gt;
(which is the tool we use to publish this site).
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Chicken Cairo 0.1.2 alpha</title>
      <link>http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/_STORY_/tech/releases/chicken-cairo-0.1.2alpha.html</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;Release early, release often,&amp;quot; &lt;a
href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/"&gt;they&lt;/a&gt; say.  In this spirit,
another release of Chicken Scheme bindings for Cairo is available in
our &lt;a
href="http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/_STORY_/tech/repos.html"&gt;2005
archive&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The &lt;tt&gt;egg&lt;/tt&gt; file is available in &lt;a href="http://www.eighty-twenty.org//releases/"&gt;releases&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>GNU/Arch archives moved</title>
      <link>http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/_STORY_/tech/releases/archives-moved.html</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
I've cycled our GNU/arch archives to 2005, meaning that the previous
archive link is wrong.  To correct:

&lt;pre class="code"&gt;
tla register-archive http://www.eighty-twenty.org/archives/2004

&lt;p&gt;Interesting changes include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt; Case changes: constant definitions are now in uppercase,
  matching the C API.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt; The SDL egg now supports &lt;tt&gt;SDL_net&lt;/tt&gt; networking.&lt;...</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;
For your consideration, alpha releases of SDL and Cairo bindings for
&lt;a href="http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/"&gt;Chicken Scheme&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.libsdl.org/"&gt;SDL&lt;/a&gt; is a cross-platform library for accessing video, audio and HID
events.  &lt;a href="http://cairo.freedesktop.org/"&gt;Cairo&lt;/a&gt; is a
vector-graphics library that happens to be easily integrated with SDL.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Both are available in our &lt;a
