[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

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

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.

by Jack Unrue 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

The next release of Graphic-Forms (version 0.3.0), a CL library for Windows GUI programming, is now available. This is definitely pre-alpha code, so be prepared for missing features, bugs, and API changes in subsequent releases. Download a release tarball from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/graphic-forms/graphic-forms-0.3.0.tar.gz… The primary changes in this release are as follows: • implemented graphics-context methods for the typical drawing operations and pen attributes; see the new test program invoked by (gft::run-drawing-tester) • implemented a representation of fonts and font data, including an API for looking up fonts based on font data • implemented font metrics and text metrics querying • expanded image drawing operations to support double-buffering • expanded the classes representing different window types: top-level represents primary application windows, panel represents child-windows, and the root-window class represents the desktop • formalized the window parent and owner concepts with documentation and functions • implemented the display class to represent the monitor attached to the system • implemented new window style attributes to help applications choose whether the system should automatically repaint the background • provided maximum-size and minimum-size functions to allow applications to constrain window sizes • revised label controls to support either text or images • implemented the file-dialog class which encapsulates the standard open/save dialog • made other bug fixes and resource usage cleanup Please consult README.txt for other details about this release.

[ann] [climacs-announce] Progress report
by Troels Henriksen 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

(I have been asked to write up a progress report. I'm new to this, so please bear with me.) Dear list-members, Since the last progress report, Climacs has been cleaned up in a number of areas, though not much major functionality has been added. Some of the major improvements are: * Climacs will now be more well-behaved when using execute-frame-command thanks to Christophe Rhodes. This opens up the possibility of integrating CLIM-applications through cross-application scripting. * Thanks to Timothy Moore, Climacs should now run under Allegro Common Lisp CLIM(tm) - including modern mode. * ESA has finally been factored out of the main Climacs module and into its own. This should ease maintenance, as ESA previously had to be maintained in both the Climacs and Gsharp repositories. * Climacs now support local options lists, where a file can specify options for Climacs by putting "-*- {Option-name: Value;}* -*-" in the first line of the file. In Emacs, this feature is known as the local variables list. * The Lisp syntax module has been extended with various new functions for easier navigation of the parse tree (exploitation of this can be seen in the CLIM-desktop repo) as well as conversion of parser tokens to the Lisp objects they represent. A number of bugs have been fixed as well. Of course, there has been the usual bugfixes and new commands (for example an "Indent Expression" command for the Lisp syntax module). Hopefully, the cleanups and gradual maturing of the editor will cause more feature-oriented commits over the next few months. The future of Climacs is as bright as ever, and with the general maturing of the free CLIM universe, integration with other CLIM programs should soon come. The "self-documenting" aspect of Climacs should also receive some attention over the next weeks. -- \ Troels "Athas" Henriksen /\ - Insert witty signature _______________________________________________ climacs-announce mailing list climacs-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/climacs-announce

[ann] [mcclim-announce] [mcclim-devel] Announcing McCLIM 0.9.2 "Laetare Sunday"
by McCLIM developers 26 Mar '06

26 Mar '06

The McCLIM developers are happy to release version 0.9.2 of McCLIM. It was tested on SBCL (both threaded and unthreaded), OpenMCL, CMUCL, Scieneer CL, and Allegro Common Lisp (ANSI mode only). Get the tarball at <http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.2.tar.gz> or install McCLIM via asdf-install. We are looking forward to your comments and bug reports. Please send them to mcclim-devel(a)common-lisp.net. The list of currently known bugs can be found at <http://mcclim.cliki.net/Bug>. Have fun using McCLIM (and build good things with it), The McCLIM developers. RELEASE NOTES FOR McCLIM 0.9.2, "Laetare Sunday": Compatibility ============= This release works on CMUCL, SBCL, CLISP, OpenMCL, Allegro CL, LispWorks, and the Scieneer CL, using the CLX X Window bindings. Changes to the Install Process ============================== Implementation-specific INSTALL.* files were removed. Generic and implementation-specific Installation instructions were improved and merged into the file INSTALL. This release requires the "spatial-trees" library by Christophe Rhodes. Get it via asdf-install or at http://cliki.net/spatial-trees. Changes to Backends =================== Copy & Paste code in the CLX backend was improved and should now adhere more strictly to ICCCM. Support for connecting to a ssh-forwarded display was restored. Several unused parts (marked with #+unicode) of the CLX backend were removed, thus restoring buildability on installations of clisp that have the unicode feature turned on. Double buffering for panes was implemented. To use it, create panes with the :double-buffering t initarg. There is now rudimentary support for entering non-Ascii characters from X11 ports using SBCL CLX (a.k.a. telent CLX). McCLIM ships experimental support for TrueType font rendering using the FreeType libraries and the free Bitstream Vera fonts. To use it, link Experimental/freetype/mcclim-freetype.asd to one of your asdf:*central-registry* directories and load the "MCCLIM-FREETYPE" system. An experimental "Null" backend was added that should allow testing of CLIM functionality without requiring a GUI environment to run. Changes to the Documentation ============================ A new chapter on contributed applications was added. Several new figures and examples were added to the manual Clemens Fruhwirth added a CLIM tutorial paper called "A Guided Tour to CLIM". It is available in Doc/Guided-Tour/. Changes to Contributed Applications and Examples ================================================ New application: A CLIM Debugger (by Peter Mechlenborg). It resides in Apps/Debugger/. New application: Functional-Geometry by Frank Buss and Rainer Joswig. It resides in Apps/Functional-Geometry/. The Inspector now is now able to disassemble functions and inspect pathnames. The Listener can now produce vertically-aligned graphs. The Scigraph application now builds on SBCL again. A demo for drag-and-drop-translators was added. Further additions to McCLIM =========================== There is now a test suite, located in Tests/. It contains tests for regions, bounding rectangles, transformations, commands, and the PostScript backend. With the addition of the Null backend, we hope to add several more tests for more chapters of the CLIM spec. New Extension "conditional-commands": allows activation/deactivation of commands when other commands are invoked. It resides in Extensions/conditional-commands/. Status of the CLIM 2 Spec Implementation ======================================== Here is a list of what we think works, organized by chapters and sections of the CLIM 2 specification. Chapter 3 Regions Mostly finished. There are some troublesome parts of the specification that may not be implemented for all possible regions, for instance region-contains-region-p. There may not be an efficient way of implementing this function for all kinds of regions. Chapter 4, Bounding rectangles Finished Chapter 5, Affine transformations Finished Chapter 6, Overview of window facilities Finished Chapter 7, Properties of sheets Finished, though the correct behavior of sheet transformations may not have been tested. Chapter 8, Sheet protocols Finished Chapter 9, Ports, Grafts, and Mirrored sheets Finished Chapter 10, Sheet and medium output facilities Finished Chapter 11, Text styles Mostly complete. There is now experimental support for device font text styles (via make-device-font-text-style) for the CLX, PostScript, and CLX+FreeType backends. Chapter 12, Graphics Finished Chapter 13, Drawing in Color I am note sure about the state of this. I thought we were doing only full opacity and full transparency, but I see traces of more general designs. Chapter 14, General Designs The composition of designs is not supported. We do support regions as designs. Chapter 15, Extended Stream Output Extended output streams are fully supported. Chapter 16, Output Recording Output recording is mostly implemented. This release ships with a standard-tree-output-record type for the first time. The tree output record type speeds up point- and region-based queries, but slows down insertion of output records by a bit. make-design-from-output-record is not implemented. *Note*: the coordinates in output records are relative to the stream. This is in conformance with the Spec, but not necessarily compatible with other CLIM implementations. Chapter 17, Table Formatting Table formatting is completely implemented. Chapter 18, Graph Formatting Graph formatting is fully implemented. The :hash-table argument to format-graph-from-roots is ignored. Support for a :dag graph type was added, as was support for vertically oriented graphs and support for the :arc-drawer argument to format-graph-from-roots. Chapter 19, Bordered Output Bordered output is fully supported. Chapter 20, Text Formatting With the exception of the :after-line-break-initially argument to filling-output, this chapter is fully implemented. Chapter 21 Incremental Redisplay The updating-output interface to incremental redisplay is implemented. McCLIM makes no effort to move i.e., bitblit, output records; they are always erased and redrawn if their position changes. This is much more compatible with support for partial transparency. The :x, :y, :parent-x and :parent-y arguments to redisplay-output-record are ignored. McCLIM follows the spirit of 21.3 "Incremental Redisplay Protocol", but we have not tried very hard to implement the vague description in the Spec. augment-draw-set, note-output-record-child-changed and propagate-output-record-changes-p are not implemented. Incremental redisplay in McCLIM may still suffer from performance problems, despite the presence of spatially-organized compound output record types. Chapter 22, Extended Stream Input The implementation of extended input streams is quite complete. (setf* pointer-position) is not implemented. There is no stream numeric argument, so that slot of the accelerator-gesture condition is always 1. Chapter 23 Presentation Types Most of the literal specification of this chapter is implemented. Specific accept and present presentation methods for some types are not implemented, so the default method may be surprising. The output record bounding rectangle is always used or highlighting and pointer testing. presentation-default-processor is not implemented. The presentation method mechanism supports all method combinations. The body of a presentation method is surrounded with a block of the same name as the presentation method, not just the magic internal name. The method by which presentation type parameters and options are decoded for the method bodies is a bit different from real CLIM. In particular, you cannot refer to the type parameters and options in the lambda list of the method. The NIL value of presentation-single-box is now supported. Presentation type histories are now partially implemented. The gesture C-M-y should recall the last entered presentation. define-drag-and-drop-translator is now implemented. Chapter 24 Input Editing and Completion Facilities with-input-editor-typeout is not implemented. The noise strings produced by input-editor-format and the strings produced by presentation-replace-input are not read-only. This could lead to interesting "issues" if the user edits them. Only a few of the suggested editing commands are implemented. An additional command that is implemented is control-meta-B, which drops into the debugger. add-input-editor-command is not implemented. with-accept-help is not implemented. Chapter 25 Menu Facilities The protocol is implemented, but McCLIM doesn't use it to draw command table menus. Chapter 26 Dialog Facilities McCLIM contains a basic, somewhat buggy implementation of accepting-values. There is little user feedback as to what has been accepted in a dialog. The user has to press the "OK" button to exit the dialog; there are no short cuts. There are no special accept-present-default methods for member or subset presentation types. Command-buttons are not implemented. There is no gadget-based implementation of accepting-values. The internal structure of accepting-values should be "culturally compatible" with real CLIM; if you have some spiffy hack, check the source. :own-window is now supported in accepting-values. Chapter 27 Command Processing command-line-complete-input is not implemented (the functionality does exist in the accept method for command-name). display-command-table-menu and menu-choose-command-from-table are not implemented. Menu-command-parser is not implemented, though the functionality obviously is. Nothing is done about partial menu commands. There is no support for numeric arguments. The command-or-form presentation type is not implemented. Chapter 28 Application Frames raise-frame, bury-frame and notify-user are not implemented. :accept-values panes are not implemented. frame-maintain-presentation-histories is not implemented. frame-drag-and-drop-feedback and frame-drag-and-drop-highlighting are now implemented. execute-frame-command ignores the possibility that frame and the current frame might be different. display-command-menu isn't implemented. Chapter 29 Panes Due to the way the space-allocation protocol is implemented, it is not easy to create application-specific layout-panes. Client code needs to know about :AROUND methods to compose-space, but they are not mentioned in the spec. restraining-pane is partially implemented. Chapter 30 Gadgets This chapter is implemented. with-output-as-gadget is not quite working yet, but it was improved since the last release. _______________________________________________ mcclim-devel mailing list mcclim-devel(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mcclim-devel _______________________________________________ mcclim-announce mailing list mcclim-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mcclim-announce
