This document summarizes some of the key changes introduced in the R7RS revision of the Scheme programming language standard. These include:
1) The introduction of define-record-type, which provides built-in support for record types and objects, giving Scheme aspects of object-oriented programming.
2) Standardization of the library system notation, allowing libraries to be loaded consistently across implementations using import.
3) Inclusion of exceptions handling from SRFI-34, using with-exception-handler to catch and handle exceptions.
