Note functions/macros for both types of objects are prefixed with `shared-` to differentiate them from R7RS definitions from `(scheme lazy)`. +- Added platform (linux, bsd, etc) to the list of emitted by `(features)` and to the features recognized by `cond-expand`. +- Optimize compilation of `vector` for five arguments or less, and compilation of `map` / `for-each` with two list arguments. + +Bug Fixes + +- Fixed the MSYS2 build script and instructions, so it is possible to build on Windows again! +- Modified `(srfi 27)` to use the timer to seed the pseudorandom number generator. +- Fixed `exit` to return the appropriate status code when a boolean is passed, per R7RS: + > If no argument is supplied, or if obj is #t, the exit procedure should communicate to the operating system that the program exited normally. If obj is #f, the exit procedure should communicate to the operating system that the program exited abnormally. +- Enhanced the interpreter (`eval`) to properly support splicing in definitions introduced by `begin`. +- Fixed `define-record-type` so now it works in the interpreter.
