Gambit was previously known as SIS (Simple Implementation of Scheme) and formed the original Prolog package.

The package is made from two programs:
- gsi, the Gambit Scheme interpreter
- gsc, the Gambit Scheme compiler.

The compiler outputs portable C code, standalone executables or compiled modules which can be loaded at run time.

Developers are free to mix interpreted and compiled code together.

The source code distributions must be compiled with a C or C++ compiler.

Here are some key features of "Gambit":

· Conforms to the R4RS, R5RS and IEEE Scheme standards
· Implements all Scheme optional features
· The compiler generates portable C code
· Generated programs run any platform with a decent C or C++ compiler
· The compiler includes several powerful program transformations
· User procedure inlining
· Partial-evaluation
· Support for lambda-lifting
· Used to develop large-scale real-world software and services

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Add to Gambit REPL some functions to send SMS and take pictures (this functionnality still needs a bit of work).
· Improve Gambit REPL (toolbar is semi transparent and the alpha can be set with set-toobar-alpha) and improve grd (-repl option, cat command, ls command shows "/" at end of directories).
· Added intf#set-idle-timer to Gambit REPL app to control whether the device is allowed to go to sleep.
