+title: Released Cyclone Scheme 0.3
+excerpt: Cyclone Scheme 0.3 is now available.
+---
+
+New features in this release:
+
+- Improve performance by inlining numeric arithmetic and comparison operations.
+- Reverted `assq`, `assv`, `memq`, and `memv` back to primitives for improved performance. In addition the compiler was modified to allow for more efficient compilation of `assoc` and `member`.
+- Improved library support to recognize all of the import set forms: `only`, `except`, `prefix`, and `rename`.
+- Allow explicit renaming macros to be declared interactively. This is the first limited support for calling `define-syntax` from `eval`. 
+- Added the `get-environment-variables` function from R7RS.
+- Added support for the following SRFI's:
+
+     - SRFI 106: A basic socket interface
+     - SRFI 128: Comparators
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+- Improved macro hygiene support to properly rename temporary variables in the `let-values` macro.
+- Improve output of `error` by using `write` to output objects as they are represented in memory.
+- Check for duplicate lambda parameters during compilation.
+- Fixed an error that was being raised when calling `(random-source-randomize! default-random-source)` when using SRFI 27.
+- Raise an error if `list->string` encounters a list element that is not a character.
