CHICKEN 5.4.0 has been released by the CHICKEN Team. This version is mainly a bugfix and maintenance release in preparation for CHICKEN 6. The update includes security enhancements for option parsing and a fix for handling escape characters in egg metadata. New features consist of thread-safe APIs for POSIX signals and finalizers, support for weak pairs, and error trace line numbers in the interpreter. Additionally, the build process on MacOS has been modified to no longer use XCODE_.. environment variables but instead relies on the C compiler in the PATH or specified with C_COMPILER=.. Users are encouraged to refer to the NEWS file for a comprehensive list of changes since version 5.3.0. The release can be accessed at https://code.call-cc.org/releases/5.4.0/chicken-5.4.0.tar.gz.
