Scheme Request for Implementation 176,
"Version flag,"
by Lassi Kortela,
has gone into "final" status.

The document and an archive of the discussion are available at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-176/>.

Here's the abstract:

This SRFI defines a standard command-line flag to get version
information from a Scheme implementation. The output is
Line-oriented S-expressions which are easy to parse from Scheme, C,
and shell scripts and can co-exist with non-S-expression output. A
standard vocabulary is defined; extensions are easy to make.

Here are the diffs since the most recent draft:

<https://github.com/scheme-requests-for-implementation/srfi-176/compare/76c2b10e..afa6e310>

- Replace `git diff-files` with `diff-index`
- Fix bytes -> bits in example
- Edit prose
- Clarify -v and -version and --version
- Clarify run time properties
- Fix HTML id attributes
- Use italics instead of bold for emphasis
- Fix two spelling errors.
- Remove slightly incorrect TAOUP quote
- Be explicit about order
- Add os.stdio property
- Clarify install-dir
- Clarify encoding aliases and default

Many thanks to Lassi and to everyone who contributed to the discussion
