GNU Guile 3.0.4 released

We are pleased but also embarrassed to announce GNU Guile release 3.0.4.
This release fixes the SONAME of libguile-3.0.so, which was wrongfully
bumped in 3.0.3.  Distributions should use 3.0.4.  Apologies!

                             *  *  *

The Guile web page is located at http://gnu.org/software/guile/, and
among other things, it contains a copy of the Guile manual and pointers
to more resources.

Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, packaged
for use in a wide variety of environments.  In addition to implementing
the R5RS, R6RS, and R7RS Scheme standards, Guile includes full access to
POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads, dynamic
linking, a foreign function call interface, powerful string processing,
and HTTP client and server implementations.

Guile can run interactively, as a script interpreter, and as a Scheme
compiler to VM bytecode.  It is also packaged as a library so that
applications can easily incorporate a complete Scheme interpreter/VM.
An application can use Guile as an extension language, a clean and
powerful configuration language, or as multi-purpose "glue" to connect
primitives provided by the application.  It is easy to call Scheme code
from C code and vice versa.  Applications can add new functions, data
types, control structures, and even syntax to Guile, to create a
domain-specific language tailored to the task at hand.

Guile 3.0 can be installed in parallel with Guile 2.2.x; see
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Installations.html.

Changes in 3.0.4 (since 3.0.3)

This release fixes the SONAME of libguile-3.0.so, which was erroneously
bumped in 3.0.3 compared to 3.0.2.  Distributions are strongly
encouraged to use 3.0.4 instead of 3.0.3.

Thanks to Chris Vine for reporting the issue.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify guile-3.0.4.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \
      --recv-keys 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69
  Automake 1.16.2
  Libtool 2.4.6
  Makeinfo 6.7
  Gnulib v0.1-1157-gb03f418

Happy hacking with Guile!
