• New Wraith Scheme (parallel processing R5 Scheme for Macintosh)

    From Jay Freeman@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 12 01:19:49 2023
    Today I released version 2.29 of Wraith Scheme.

    Wraith Scheme 2.29 is a shareware and open-source full R5 Scheme
    implementation for the Apple Macintosh, with enhancements for
    parallel processing, by which I mean multiple copies of the
    Wraith Scheme application (separate Unix processes) all running
    at once, sharing Scheme main memory.

    Wraith Scheme 2.29 is a full 64-bit Macintosh application, that
    runs on Macintoshes using either Intel processors or Apple's
    proprietary ARM-based processors ("Apple silicon"), and that
    are running at least MacOS 11.6 ("Big Sur").

    As of this release, Wraith Scheme is "notarized" by Apple,
    which means that after you have downloaded it, when you try to
    launch Wraith Scheme you will not see a warning pop-up about
    software that Apple has been unable to check for harmful
    content. At least, you should not see such a warning, and if
    you do, by all means let me know.

    Wraith Scheme 2.29 also contains other minor enhancements.

    This release also contains a release of a derivative R5 Scheme
    program, Weasel Scheme, which runs on a Raspberry Pi 400.

    There is no new release of Pixie Scheme III or Pixie Scheme II
    at this time.
