[ann] [elephant-announce] Elephant 0.6.0 is now released.
by Robert L. Read 27 May '06

27 May '06

The latest release of the Elephant persistent object store is now available. It is numbered 0.6.0. It may be obtained from the project page either as a downloaded tgz file, or you make access it via anonymous CVS. http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/ Ian Eslick made most of the code contributions to this release, which features a very elegant method of indexing the slots of a persistent class. For developers, the internals of Elephant were also significantly refactored by Ian. Additionally, a layer of data management on top of Elephant that implements a Director-like pattern called Data Collection Management has been added to the contrib directory. In addition to personally thanking Ian, I would like to say that I personally think Elephant has grown into an extraordinarily useful project. Let me just review the major advantages of Elephant as a persistent object store: 1) Extraordinarily convenient for the programmer, 2) An extensive test suite, 3) Tested on several major LISP implementations (ACL, SBCL, OpenMCL), 4) Ability to use multiple back-end data repositories and to migrate whole data stores seamlessly between those repositories, 5) Ability to BerkeleyDB, PostGres, SQLite 3, and probably other back- end databases, 6) Extremely convenient slot and functional indexing that can be dynamically changed. The overall effect of these features together is that Elephant is very flexible for serious application development: you can change fundamental implementation decisions easily as your application evolves. ---- Robert L.

[ann] [cl-markdown-announce] CL-Markdown update
by Gary King 22 May '06

22 May '06

Apologies if you've already read this on Planet Lisp... I've removed CL-Markdown's dependency on LML2 (though CL-Markdown- Test still uses it to generate the comparison reports). I've also fixed several small tickets. The most important one probably being the correct handling of line breaks with <pre>s sections. I also changed the signature of the markdown form. The new one looks like: > Convert source into a markdown document object and optionally > render it to stream using format. Source can be either a string or > a pathname or a stream. Stream is like the stream argument in > format; it can be a pathname or t (short for *standard-output*) or > nil (which will place the output into a string). Format can > be :html or :none. In the latter case, no output will be generated. > > The markdown command returns (as multiple values) the generated > document object and any return value from the rendering (e.g., the > string produced when the stream is nil). I hope that's clear. It makes it easy to go from strings or files to strings or files in any supported format (i.e., in HTML <Smile>). There is still some distance to go before the basics are complete but things are starting to look pretty good. -- Gary Warren King metabang.com http://www.metabang.com/ (413) 210 7511 gwking on #lisp (occasionally) _______________________________________________ cl-markdown-announce mailing list cl-markdown-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cl-markdown-announce

[ann] [asdf-install-announce] ASDF-Install move
by Gary King 18 May '06

18 May '06

The version now on Common-Lisp.net has been radically restructured and also has several patches and improvements. The restructuring just pulls various related forms out of installer.lisp and into their own homes. Mostly, this was to help me organize and maintain it. The improvements include: * More restarts involving the GPG key verification process so that, for example, you can switch to another process, retrieve a key and then try again. * ASDF-Install now prints its version string when it is first loaded (it's at 0.5.2). * I've tried to simplify the #+ / #- madness. There is still a ways to go for this to be complete. * Note that ASDF-Install now only installs the packages you request and their required dependencies. Earlier versions would install the package associated with every system definition that it downloaded. * There is a new keyword argument for the install command. If you specify :propagate t, then install will try to get the latest version of every package required during the installation. If propagate is nil (the default and previous behavior), then ASDF will only download the requested package and any that you do not yet have. It will not download any packages that you have already installed. Note that ASDF- Install still isn't doing any useful version checking, but being able to ask for everything fresh seems like a useful stopgap measure. Please let me know if anything goes astray. -- Gary Warren King metabang.com http://www.metabang.com/ (413) 210 7511 gwking on #lisp (occasionally) _______________________________________________ asdf-install-announce mailing list asdf-install-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-install-announce

[ann] [flexi-streams-announce] New version 0.5.4 (Was: flexi-streams and CMUCL)

[Please use the mailing list.] Hi Satyaki! On Sun, 14 May 2006 14:46:40 -0700, "Satyaki Das" <satyakid(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you for writing flexi-streams.

Thanks for the report. I've uploaded a new version which should fix this. I've conditionalized the patches on CMUCL because other Lisps don't seem to need it. I also changed your patches a bit. I'd recommend asking on the CMUCL mailing list if this is considered a bug in their Gray streams implementation. The SBCL I have on my server (0.9.7.1) behaves like all the other implementations.

[ann] [cl-muproc-announce] First publically available incarnation of CL-MUPROC released: cl-muproc--2006-05-14
by Klaus Harbo 14 May '06

14 May '06

I am pleased to announce that CL-MUPROC is now available at http://www.common-lisp.net/project/cl-muproc. As you will see, the reference documentation is far from complete; only the core functionality is documented at this time. Please do feel free to try it out and offer any feed-back, comments, suggestions, or whatever (patches, even! ;-) . Enjoy! -Klaus Harbo _______________________________________________ cl-muproc-announce mailing list cl-muproc-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cl-muproc-announce

[ann] [tbnl-announce] New version 0.9.9 (Was: application/x-www-form-urlencoded)

I've uploaded a new version (untested) which should fix this. It's kind of a workaround because actually for both content types TBNL should do the right thing immediately if the charset is explicitely specified. But that would involve a major change and including something like FLEXI-STREAMS and I don't have the time for that now. > Am I wrong? No, your fix looked OK. You didn't notice STARTS-WITH-P, though.
