I am pleased to announce a new release of Sassy, an x86 assembler 
written in scheme.

Many new things in version 0.2:
===============================

WHAT IT IS

SchemeScript is a Scheme/Lisp editor plug-in for Eclipse. It is part of the
SchemeWay project.

The goal of this plug-in is to provide a robust Scheme/Lisp editor to the
professional Scheme/Lisp developers who also happen to use Eclipse for Java
programming. Also, the plug-in can be subclassed and extended to provided
custom editors for Scheme/Lisp-based languages.

SchemeScript embeds the Kawa interpreter, and can be readily used to connect
to the SISC REPL of SISCweb-based web applications.

Subject: Planet Scheme

While it was online I enjoyed using Andreas Rottmann's Planet Scheme.
It has now been unavailable for a while, so I mailed to ask him whether
he planned to revive it. I didn't get an answer, so on a whim I
decided to put up my own - at least until Andreas puts his up again.
It is available at

Subject: SISC 0.13.3-rc
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006

Release candidate of SISC, a fast RnRS Scheme interpreter for Java.

Alpha/Beta releases are intended to expose future versions to a
wider audience. They generally run well, but have not been well
tested enough to be considered stable enough for production
use. We appreciate wide use of the Beta releases in order to
find bugs and drive the major version towards stable.
