Hello all,

The fourth release candidate for CHICKEN 5.0.0 is now available for
download:

  https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2018/10/29/chicken-5.0.0rc4.tar.gz

The sha256sum of that tarball is:

  90dbd9d2ff7e95aa369a9ba3bb00ef849f5509fc6547861136359f22500d8cd9

The list of changes since 4.13.0 is available here (which is the
same as that of 5.0.0rc3):

  https://code.call-cc.org/dev-snapshots/2018/10/29/NEWS

This release candidate fixes a handful of issues with chicken-install
and chicken-do.  For an overview of fixed tickets since 5.0.0rc3, see
the Trac page:

Given that there were only a few issues found in rc3, it's likely that
this will be the last release candidate so we can make an official
release soon!

candidate and report your findings to the mailing list.  Here's a
suggested test procedure:
