Dear Lispers,
We're glad to announce the USOCKET 0.6.0 release.
Changes in this release:
* New feature: SOCKET-OPTION and (setf SOCKET-OPTION) for seting and geting various socket options.
* New feature: SOCKET-SEND now support an CCL-like OFFSET keyword for sending only parts of the whole buffer.
* New feature: [ECL] Added support for ECL DFFI mode on Windows. (no need for C compilers now)
* Bugfix: [ECL] ECL now list sb-bsd-sockets as a dependency but relies on REQUIRE. (patched by Juanjo)
* Bugfix: [ABCL] Make USOCKET compile warning-free on ABCL again: MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT was deprecated a while ago in favor of 2 predefined constants.
* Bugfix: [LispWorks] remove redundant call to hcl:flag-special-free-action. (reported by Kamil Shakirov)
* Bugfix: [CLISP] improved HANDLE-CONDITION for more CLISP environments.
For the new API, SOCKET-OPTION, initially we support following options:
* RECEIVE-TIMEOUT (SO_RCVTIMEO)
* REUSE-ADDRESS (SO_REUSEADDR), for TCP server
* BROADCAST (SO_BROADCAST), for UDP client
For usage of SOCKET-OPTION and (SETF SOCKET-OPTION), please directly take a look at "option.lisp" from USOCKET source code. We'll add documentation later.
(Unfortunately, not all CL platforms were full supported at current time, but we'll fix the missing part soon)
As usual, if you want to download this release, please check
http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/releases/
or just wait for next Quicklisp monthly dist updates.
The API documentation page was here (but I haven't updated it for SOCKET-OPTION yet ...):
http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/api-docs.shtml
As usual, any feedback - bugs or hugs - is greatly appreciated.
P. S. Something currently still in progress:
* New feature: CLISP support some advanced TCP features which CLISP's SOCKET interface not provide
* New feature: Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) support Datagram sockets (UDP), based on OpenTransport.
* New feature: SOCKET-SHUTDOWN for TCP and UDP sockets.
Regards,
Chun Tian (binghe)
USOCKET Team

Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the last CLFSWM 1212 version.
There is minor changes since the last 1209 version but some ugly bugs
has been fixed.
Here is a small resume of the git log information:
* load.lisp do no run CLFSWM by default. It build an executable lisp
image and can download CLX and ASDF if needed (this will help (I
hope) lisp newbies).
* The ./configure as been replaced by a simple Makefile which ease the
load of load.lisp (it search for available lisp implementations).
* New .desktop files to ease the login manager integration.
* Some bug fixes on multi heads monitors to add or remove monitors on
the fly. Non xinerama configuration are correctly handled.
* Add support for numeric keypad with numlock on.
* Key bindings for main and second mode are shown in menu entry.
* I've added an blank-window-mode in contrib/. This way, we can hide
part of the screen with blank window. I'm pretty sure nobody except
me will use it but it's very useful in school class to hide some
part of the screen on interactive presentation with a video
projector.
I think this version is pretty clean. So I'll made more announcement
about it ((fr.)comp.land.lisp and french slashdot equivalent). I don't
know where I can make english announcement/presentation (slashdot
doesn't seem the place). So if you like it, feel free to share your
feeling about CLFSWM. This way, maybe it will show up again on Wikipedia :-)
As always any feedback is very welcome.
Have fun,
Philippe
