People trying to use sme of the internal Kawa APIs may notice
lots of changes. Even if you don't, be warned that Scheme
code compiled with a older compiler will probably not be binary
compatible with a newer compiler. My apologies, but I think it
is worthwhile trying to make the internal API cleaner and simpler.
This will continue a little bit longer: One motivation is I'd
like to make some of the XML tools self-contained, and then
try to encourage people to use Kawa's XML tools even if they're
not interested in Kawa as a compiler. I'm hoping to be able to
do this before I release 1.9.
At some point we might want a policy about how and whether Kawa
can break binary compatibility. I'd be interested in knowing
if Kawa's internal "churn" is a hardship for anyone.
