-
-The NEWS file is quite long.  Here are the most interesting entries:
-
-  Changes since 1.6:
-
-  * Guile is now licensed with the GNU Lesser General Public License.
-
-  * The manual is now licensed with the GNU Free Documentation License.
-
-  * We now use GNU MP for bignums.
-
-  * We now have exact rationals, such as 1/3.
-
-  * We now use native POSIX threads for real concurrent threads.
-
-  * There is a new way to initalize Guile that allows one to use Guile
-    from threads that have not been created by Guile.
-
-  * Mutexes and condition variables are now always fair.  A recursive
-    mutex must be requested explicitly.
-
-  * The low-level thread API has been removed.
-
-  * There is now support for copy-on-write substrings and
-    mutation-sharing substrings.
-
-  * A new family of functions for converting between C values and
-    Scheme values has been added that is future-proof and thread-safe.
-
-  * The INUM macros like SCM_MAKINUM have been deprecated.
-
-  * The macros SCM_STRINGP, SCM_STRING_CHARS, SCM_STRING_LENGTH,
-    SCM_SYMBOL_CHARS, and SCM_SYMBOL_LENGTH have been deprecated.
-
-  * There is a new way to deal with non-local exits and re-entries in
-    C code, which is nicer than scm_internal_dynamic_wind.
-
-  * There are new malloc-like functions that work better than
-    scm_must_malloc, etc.
-
-  * There is a new way to access all kinds of vectors and arrays from
-    C that is efficient and thread-safe.
-
-  * The concept of dynamic roots has been factored into continuation
-    barriers and dynamic states.
-
-See NEWS and the manual for more details.
