post	Released Cyclone Scheme 0.16	This release contains bug fixes and improvements for freeing memory allocated for Opaque C objects.

Features

Updated the C API to optionally allow Cyclone's GC to free memory pointed to by an Opaque object.

For example:

my_c_obj = calloc(1, sizeof(*my_c_obj_type));
make_c_opaque(opq, my_c_obj);
opaque_collect_ptr(&opq) = 1; // Cyclone's GC will free this memory

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug in read-bytevector where an extra byte could be introduced when reading multiple chunks of data.
Fixed a bug where variables defined within define-syntax and let-syntax are reported as unbound by the compiler.
