This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
slib1b8.

New in release slib1b8 are:
scheme48.init, hash.scm, and hashtab.scm, alist.scm, priorque.scm and
several bug fixes.

The functions in hash.scm provide bounded time modular hash functions
corresponding to each of the equality predicates eq?, eqv?, equal?, =,
char=?, char-ci=?, string=?, and string-ci=?.
hashtab.scm provides hash tables using the functions from hash.scm.
alist.scm has functions similar to hashtab.scm but for association lists.
Macro:repl, a read-macro:eval:print loop has been added to sc-macro.scm.
Priority queues are implemented in priorque.scm.

SLIB is a portable scheme library meant to provide compatibiliy and
utility functions for all standard scheme implementations.

SLIB includes initialization files for GAMBIT, MITScheme, scheme->C,
Scheme48, and T3.1.  Scm4a also supports SLIB.

Documentation includes a manifest, installation instructions, and
proposed coding standards for the library.  Documentation on each
library package is supplied.
