Library Table of Contents
This table lists all modules contained in the library, together with their status. The Needs glue? column indicates whether or not the module requires
that define-safe-glue be available,
and hence whether the library has to be compiled in order
to use the library.
Here is a key to the general condition of modules, in increasing order of stability:
- sketch. A few scribbles. Possibly something works.
- wip. A work in progress. Probably at least partly works.
- unstable. Mostly works. Irregularly used, or new.
- stable. Does at least a good part of what it's supposed to in a fairly consistent manner. In regular use so we'd probably notice if it breaks. Interfaces will probably not change in an incompatible manner.
- solid. A complete implementation; interfaces not likely to change, either because they've been standardized or because it's so deeply entrenched that we don't dare.
