This is an announce for the 0.96 release of STklos.

STklos is a free Scheme System mostly conform to R5RS. The aim of this
implementation is to be fast as well as light. The implementation is
based on an ad-hoc Virtual Machine. STklos can also be compiled as a

The salient points of STklos are:
* efficient and powerful object system based on CLOS providing

- Generic Functions,
- Multi-methods
- an efficient MOP (Meta Object Protocol)
* a simple to use module system
* implements the full tower of numbers defined in R5RS
* easy connection to the GTK+ toolkit
* Perl compatible regular expressions thanks to the PCRE package.
* tail recursive calls are properly implemented

Changes in this release:

This release introduces a simple FFI (Foreign Function Interface).

* Better support for FreeBSD
* Fixed a bug when using the -j option of make during bootstrap
* Fixed several problems with ScmPkg packages installation
