It was important to do a release because some new inlined primitives were added to the compiler for parallel processing (##current-processor, etc), and these have to be in place for a smooth transition to the parallel Gambit. I aim for version 5 of Gambit to include parallelism support that is publicly usable. Currently a bit of black magic and alignment of the planets are needed to run trully concurrent Scheme threads.

Yey!
