The McCLIM developers are happy to release version 0.9.6 of McCLIM, code-named "St. George's Day". This release includes several bug and specification compliance fixes, as well as improvements to the anti-aliased text drawing facility and to the Drei text editing substrate. When testing this release, we found that it works on these implementations: * SBCL * CMUCL 19d * Clozure CL 1.2 (RC 1) * CLISP 2.41 (requires "Telent" CLX) * Allegro Common Lisp 8.1 in ANSI Mode For compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", please see the included release notes. Get the tarball at <http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.6.tar.gz>. Alternatively, you can install McCLIM via asdf-install. We are looking forward to your comments and bug reports. Please send them to mcclim-devel at common-lisp.net. The list of currently known bugs can be found at <http://trac.common-lisp.net/mcclim/report/1>. Have fun using McCLIM, The McCLIM developers. RELEASE NOTES FOR McCLIM 0.9.6, "St. George's Day": Compatibility ============= This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations: * SBCL * CMUCL 19d * Clozure CL 1.2 (RC 1) * CLISP 2.41 (requires "Telent" CLX) * Allegro Common Lisp 8.1 in ANSI Mode McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive readers (Allegro CL "modern mode" and lower-case Scieneer CL). To run McCLIM on Mac OS X 10.5, it is currently necessary to pass an explicit DISPLAY argument to work around incompatibility between Leopard's X11 auto-start facility and CLX. Changes in mcclim-0.9.6 "St. George's Day" relative to 0.9.5: ============================================================== From the NEWS file: * New extension: mcclim-truetype: provides a 100% lisp path for AA fonts with CLX using cl-vectors and zpb-ttf, as an alternative to mcclim-freetype. * Improvement: Faster drawing and AA text rendering. AA text requires a fix to the Xrender support of CLX, available in Christophe Rhodes's current CLX distribution from darcs. * Improvement: Look up arbitrary truetype fonts by name via fontconfig. * Drei improvements ** New redisplay engine that is faster and has more features. ** Support for "views" concept. ** Support for modes a la Emacs "mini-modes". ** Improvement: Goal-columns for line movement. ** Improvement: More Emacs-like expression movement for Lisp syntax. ** Bug fix: Input prompting now works for directly recursive calls to ACCEPT. * Specification compliance: READ-BITMAP-FILE and MAKE-PATTERN-FROM-BITMAP-FILE from CLIM 2.2. Includes new example program, IMAGE-VIEWER. * Specification compliance: The :inherit-menu keyword argument to DEFINE-COMMAND-TABLE and MAKE-COMMAND-TABLE is now implemented with CLIM 2.2 semantics. The :keystrokes value is not handled yet. * Specification compliance: :PRINTER functions for MENU-CHOOSE are now called with the menu item, not the display object. * Bug fix: ESA's help commands are better at finding bindings and describing them * Bug fix: Some missing methods and functions have been implemented for the Null backend, allowing headless operation for many applications. * Bug fix: correct computation of bounding rectangle after clear-output-record and recompute-extent-for-new-child. * Bug fix: label panes no longer have a restrictive maximum width. * Bug fix: ellipses with a zero radius no longer cause errors. * Bug fix: bezier drawing in CLIM-FIG less likely to cause errors. * Bug fix: restored somewhat working undo in CLIM-FIG. _______________________________________________ mcclim-announce mailing list mcclim-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mcclim-announce
