Author "The Scheme Programming Language", 3rd ed. - Which Scheme?

I'm thinking of buying Dybvig's TSPL, 3rd edition.
Before doing so I want to confirm this edition is based on R5RS.
I would expect that to be the case based on the publication date, but
the book's page at MIT press mentions only the "revised report"
without saying if it is R5 or R4 (like the second edition.)

Thanks,

Roberto Waltman

The book is based on R5RS and is freely available on the net at:

You can look before you buy.
