Hi,

I have just released new versions of MOP Feature Tests (0.44), Closer to MOP (0.41) and ContextL (0.31). These are minor versions with mostly bugfixes. A major change is that LispWorks 5.0/5.0.1 is now officially supported. (All supported Lisp implementations are now again supported in their newest versions.)

Here are some highlights of the new releases:

MOP Feature Tests 0.44:

- Added new tests for standard metaobject classes. - Simplified output for feature reports. - Added a report function for quick comparison between two versions of a given CL implementation. - Significantly simplified the test for extensible allocations.

Closer to MOP 0.41:

- Fixed a problem in the handling of initial methods of generic functions in LispWorks. - Added support for LispWorks 5.0/5.0.1. - Fixed a bug in some LOOP idioms. (Thanks to Attila Lendvai.) - Simplified the implementation of some validate-superclass methods. - Changed the format of the contents of features.lisp. Better support for comparing feature changes between different versions of a given CL implementation. - Corrected and added a few feature reports to features.txt.

ContextL 0.31:

- Added an implicit block to define-layered-method so return-from works as expected. - Fixed a bug in some LOOP idioms. (Thanks to Attila Lendvai.) - Added two versions of the figure editor example from the JMLC'06 paper to the test suite. - Several bug fixes.

You can find the libraries in the usual distribution formats, including as asdf-installable packages, at http://common-lisp.net/ project/closer/

Cheers and all the best for new year's eve,
