Hey Guilers!

On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that Guile
Hoot 0.7.0 has been released!  Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly
compiler backend for Guile, which means you can now run Scheme in the
browser for real, tail calls and all.

The highlights of this release are:

- Hoot will now search Guile's source module directory by default
- Improved support for R6RS, R7RS, and Guile module definition syntax
- Numerous bug fixes!

If you use Guix then it's easy to try out Hoot:

    guix pull
    guix shell guile-next guile-hoot

That's all for now. If you build anything with Hoot, we'd love to hear
about it!

Happy hooting! 🦉

- Dave
