Hello everyone,

we are happy to announce the first release candidate of the upcoming
CHICKEN 4.12.0. It is now available at this location:

http://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2017/01/22/chicken-4.12.0rc1.tar.gz

The SHA 256 sum of that tarball is

677168813750264b162d1be041c05ffdcab273b8faaed5902c07a440bedcf5b0

The list of changes since version 4.11.0 is available here:

Please give it a test and report your findings to the mailing list.

Here's a suggested test procedure:

  $ make PLATFORM=<platform> PREFIX=<some dir> install check
  $ <some dir>/bin/chicken-install pastiche

If you want to build CHICKEN with a compiler other than the default one,
just use C_COMPILER=<the compiler> (e.g., C_COMPILER=clang) on the make
invocation.

Of course, feel free to explore other supported build options (see the
README file for more information) and actually use CHICKEN 4.12.0rc1 for
your software.

If you can, please let us know the following information about the
environment you tested the RC tarball on:

Operating system: (e.g., FreeBSD 10.1, Debian 8, Windows 7 mingw-msys)
Hardware platform: (e.g., x86, x86-64, PPC)
C Compiler: (e.g., GCC 4.9.2, clang 3.6)
Installation works?: yes or no
Tests work?: yes or no
Installation of eggs works?: yes or no

Thanks in advance!
