Arctic Repository 1.1

I think I will mention this here. There is a new release of the Arctic Repository. Here are the release notes:


This archive contains the aggregate work of the following branches in
their respective directories.

us.sacrideo.misc => arcfide
us.sacrideo.foof => foof
us.sacrideo.neil => neil
us.sacrideo.oleg => oleg
us.sacrideo.riastradh => riastradh
us.sacrideo.srfi => srfi

Code is merged into this directory on an as needed basis, usually for
preparing the release tarballs. If you wish to follow the most up-to-date
changes, please track the branches mentioned above.

The main branch for this archive is us.sacrideo.arcrepo.

Currently most of these libraries are designed to run on Chez Scheme.
Some of the code has been designed with portability in mind, or is approaching
that goal, so eventually this repository should hold fairly portable or eash to port
code in a ready to port form.

Set of libraries includes in the Arctic Repository:

us.sacrideo.misc
=============

The following libraries are my own personal Miscellaneous libraries. They come with
relatively detailed source level documentation.

* Base64
* A set of extended definition forms
(define-integrable, define-constant, define-auxilary-keywords)
* FFI Bindings for expansion time binding of foreign values
* MIME parsers
* A new modlisp library in a functional style for web programming
* A set of additional parser utilities for parser combinators
* RFC2822 parsing
* An useful sockets library
* Swapping primitives for swapping bindings and values
* Variant Types a la Taylor Campbell's version
* Query String handling for URLs and POST requests
* Foreign Type abstractions for FFI code
* Authorize.NET libraries
* Build Utilities for easily building programs
* An Errno library for accessing errno in Scheme
* A script for converting SXML to HTML.

us.sacrideo.neil
============

Neil Van Dyke's CSV code

us.sacrideo.oleg
=============

Oleg's code

* CGI Processing
* SSAX + SXML + SXPath and tools

us.sacrideo.foof
============

Alex Shinn's code

* Irregex regular expressions
* A IU compatible MATCH

us.sacrideo.riastradh
================

Libraries originating with Taylor Campbell

* Foof looping macros and nested looping macros
* Parser combinators
* Schemantic-Web (RDF, Turtle, and N-tuple parsers and libraries)
* Concurrent ML for Scheme
* TRC Testing framework

us.sacrideo.srfi
============

Code from the Portable R6RS SRFIs project.

Sneak Preview

What is next for the Arctic Repository? Think Windows Sockets support and Minikanren Logic Programming. :cool:
