+Guile-Gnome-Platform 2.16.5 - David Pirotte, 2017-06-02
+=======================================================
+
+* Changes since 2.16.4
+
+ Guile-Gnome is now compatible with Guile-2.2
+
+ But don't hail, this is a maintainance release, which actually
+ merely comment the build of the Corba and Gnome-VFS modules, due to
+ incompatible changes in Guile-2.2 (see their corresponding entry in
+ configure.ac for a better explanation):
+
+ This is reversible though, if you think you have the skill and some
+ free time to fix these two, please do! And get in touch with us of
+ course...
+
+ Dependencies
+ ------------
+
+ Guile-Gnome now allows Guile-2.2, and requires Guile >= 2.0.14
+
+
