[ann] [usocket-announce] [ANNOUNCE] usocket 0.6.0
by Chun Tian (binghe) 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

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 _______________________________________________ usocket-announce mailing list usocket-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usocket-announce

[ann] [clfswm-announce] CLFSWM 1212 released
by Philippe Brochard 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

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 _______________________________________________ clfswm-announce mailing list clfswm-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfswm-announce

[ann] [clfswm-announce] CLFSWM 1209 is out
by Philippe Brochard 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi all, As said in the previous weeks, there is a new CLFSWM release tagged R-1209. Since the last official release R-1106, changes are as follow: - Transparency support with xcompmgr - Multi heads support out of the box (no more need for individual hack). There is some new key bindings to circulate through root (ie: screen). - New Exposé Mode which support infinite children (previously 26) and multiple roots. - Better X Errors handling. Also, there is some new modules in the contrib directory: - contrib/toolbar.lisp to display toolbars everywhere. They can be clickable, hidden on click or with pointer motion. - contrib/wallpaper.lisp to display different wallpaper on different screen. More information can be found at http://common-lisp.net/project/clfswm/ As always, thanks a lot for any patch, feedback or request! Best regards and have fun, Philippe _______________________________________________ clfswm-announce mailing list clfswm-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfswm-announce

Re: [ann] [cdr-announce] CDR 11 accepted

Hi Steve, Thanks a lot indeed for your interest in CDR. The rationale for CDR is explained at http://cdr.eurolisp.org/ on the opening page. You should find all answers to the question you posted on that page. But let me stress a few points directly related to your questions: - It is certainly possible to discuss a CDR after it has been finalized. - More specifically, it's also certainly possible to refine a CDR after it has been finalized. However, the particular CDR (with a specific CDR number) cannot be changed anymore. If you want to refine a finalized CDR, you have to submit a new one, which will then receive a new CDR number. New CDRs can claim to updates to existing CDRs. (For example, it is already the case that CDR 4 is a refinement of CDR 0, and the whole CDR process is currently based on CDR 4 rather than CDR 0.) - Whether a particular CDR is eventually accepted by the community or not is in the hands of the community, not in the hands of the CDR editors. CDR is only a repository for documents, not a body that can enforce or endorse standards. This was an intentional design decision, to avoid the need for CDR editors to judge the contents of CDR documents (which they don't), and to avoid legal implications. - There are three mailing lists associated with CDR: cdr-announce is for announcements, cdr-devel is for discussions about the CDR repository and process itself, and cdr-discuss is for discussions about specific CDRs. If you would like to continue a discussion about CDR itself, please do so on cdr-devel. Didier (the author of CDR 11) seems to be willing to discuss CDR 11 on cdr-discuss, so if you are interested in that, please discuss it there. (Authors are encouraged, but not required to discuss documents. Again, CDR is intentionally a light-weight process: Any requirements imposed on authors would need to be checked, and CDR is designed to require as few checks as possible. That's why documents don't even need to be discussed, because it would be hard to judge what would qualify as a "sufficient" amount of discussion. We believe that members of the community are mature enough to decide for themselves what constitutes a "good" CDR or not.) Again, thanks a lot for your interest. I hope this clarifies your questions. Please feel free to comment or discuss this further, if you think there is room for improvement. Best, Pascal P.S.: I personally believe that Duane Rettig's proposal for environment access would be an excellent candidate for a CDR. Franz Inc. probably has more extensions that would be good contributions. Please let us know if we can help with submitting CDR documents, in case you are interested.
