[cl-json-announce] [ANN] cl-json 0.3.1
by Henrik Hjelte 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

A new version of cl-json is now available. JSON is a language independent text format for data-interchange. JSON is especially convenient in web applications, since it is a subset of the literal object notation of ECMAScript. It can also be an alternative to XML. JSON has good open-source support in many languages. Some new features in cl-json are json-rpc and json-bind. Get it by darcs: darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-json/darcs/cl-json Or you can also get it by asdf-install. cl-json now depends on parenscript. darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/repos/parenscript cl-json homepage: http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-json/ /Henrik Hjelte _______________________________________________ cl-json-announce mailing list cl-json-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cl-json-announce

[ann] [elephant-announce] Elephant 0.6.1 is now in Beta!
by Robert L. Read 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

We have tagged CVS with the tag ELEPHANT-0-6-1-BETA. OpenMCL still needs verification, but has been verified in the past so I don't think it's much work and the current tree seems very stable and addresses all the outstanding issues we documented and discovered for 0.6.1. This would be a good time to do a trial upgrade of your existing databases and try to incorporate this release in running systems. There may still be bugs, but we don't anticipate any major changes. From this point it is mostly documentation and augmenting the test suite where we can and with any luck there will be a release candidate in a week or two. Regards, Ian Eslick and Robert Read _______________________________________________ elephant-announce site list elephant-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-announce

That wasn't really the problem (but it showed the symptoms). > Also I am not sure that I can provide a string with #Newline. You can't do it the way you did. There are basically two easy ways to do it in portable Common Lisp. Number one: (get-bounding-rect "Some text" "arial" 50) Number two: (get-bounding-rect #.(format nil "Some~%text") "arial" 50) Or use CL-INTERPOL: (get-bounding-rect #?"Some\ntext" "arial" 50) Cheers, Edi. _______________________________________________ cl-gd-announce mailing list cl-gd-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cl-gd-announce

[ann] [movitz-announce] The Bi-Annual Movitz Newsletter
by ffj＠common-lisp.net 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Here's a status report on Movitz: * First of all, activity has picked up a bit the last month or so. So this is a great time to jump on the bandwagon :-) * The Wiki is open for business: http://trac.common-lisp.net/movitz/wiki * The IRC channel is #movitz on irc.freenode.net. * I have more or less migrated my primary development environment to SBCL and SLIME, and so I made the effort to polish the Movitz tools for this setup. See http://trac.common-lisp.net/movitz/wiki/MovitzAndSlime * Some recent developments are: Much better &key argument parsing in (compiled) functions, improved floppy bootloader, VGA graphics (http://ccgi.bealbywm.plus.com/blog/2007/03/07/vga-in-movitz/) and improved keyboard driver by Shawn Betts. Reportedly, Mr. Betts has also successfully implemented preemptive thread switching. * My own development focus currently is to invent a reasonable mechanism for waiting/blocking. The current busy-looping nature of movitz kernels is clearly the biggest wart on the system. * While I have nothing concrete to show for it, I have been thinking that adding/porting Movitz to 64-bit x86 would be very interesting. (Not to mention there is a window of opportunity now while our main competitor Microsoft is struggling to port their legacy systems.) That's it for now, happy hacking to all, -- Frode Vatvedt Fjeld _______________________________________________ movitz-announce site list movitz-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/movitz-announce
