Hi,

I have just released new versions of all Closer libraries, including Closer to MOP and ContextL.

This is an intermediate version, there are no major changes in these releases, apart from some minor added features and some bug fixes. I am currently working on supporting first-class dynamic environments in ContextL, and I mainly provide this current snapshot as a possible fallback solution in case something goes wrong. Incorporating such first-class dynamic environments is not a trivial operation, that's why I try to be extra careful here.

Nevertheless, here are some highlights of the new versions:

## Closer to MOP 0.55 ##

+ Fixed a bug in the recognition of documentation strings in make- method-lambda for LispWorks.

+ Added standard-instance-access and funcallable-standard-instance- access to LispWorks, due to popular request.

+ Added a utility function subclassp that is sometimes more robust than subtypep (but subtypep should be preferred whenever possible).

## ContextL 0.51 ##

+ Ensure-layered-method now accepts function designators instead of just function names, due to Drew Crampsie.

+ Replaced some calls to subtypep to the new subclassp function of Closer to MOP, for more robust metalevel behavior.

Apart from that, AspectL and LW Compat have new version numbers (AspectL 0.73 and LW Compat 0.23), but nothing really interesting has happened in those cases.

The libraries can be downloaded from http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/ and are asdf-installable, as usual.

Best, Pascal
