[ann] [hunchentoot-announce] New releases of Hunchentoot, Drakma, and Chunga
by Edi Weitz 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi, I've just released new versions (all called 1.0.0) of Hunchentoot, Drakma, and Chunga. Note that none of these is compatible with earlier versions, so if you upgrade, you'll need to upgrade all of them. If you're using Hunchentoot or Drakma in a production environment and if it works well for you, you probably shouldn't switch. These are releases with a lot of changes and it is pretty likely that they contain bugs. If you're tracking the development, it'd be nice if you could download the new versions and provide feedback, though. The good news: * Hunchentoot has a new architecture that should hopefully make it much easier to extend or to customize it. * Both Huchentoot and Drakma should be faster now. * Now that we finally have release versions again, there are more things to come. Expect 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc. releases in the next weeks. The bad news: * The Hunchentoot API has changed considerably and you'll have to read the documentation to see how it works now. Of course, we didn't do that to annoy you - we have to change our own web apps as well. We think that the new API is better, though, and that the change was worth it. * Some stuff has been removed, either because it seemed that nobody used it or because we thought it didn't really belong into a web server. Have fun, Edi. _______________________________________________ tbnl-announce site list tbnl-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/tbnl-announce

[ann] [parenscript-announce] New Parenscript release.
by Vladimir Sedach 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hello, The latest release of Parenscript fixes a few minor bugs from the previous release (mostly with macro-definition code), but most importantly it gets rid of the (.method object args) method-calling convention/hack. Now method calls are treated uniformly with function calls, so the previous expression becomes ((slot-value object 'method) args). The motivation behind this change is explained on the parenscript-devel mailing list: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/parenscript-devel/2009-February/000465.html Vladimir _______________________________________________ parenscript-announce mailing list parenscript-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parenscript-announce
