[asdf-announce] ASDF 2.016 released
by Faré 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Dear CL users, I released ASDF 2.015.12 as 2.016. Please test, and upon success update your implementations and lisp distributions. Since 2.015, we have the following improvements: * Portability: Fixes for ECL, RMCL. Tweaks for CLISP. Improvements to Windows configuration, notably for LispWorks. * Fix to load-source-op (broken in 2.014.13 - oops). * Avoid infinite loops in defsystem in cases of bad interference between quicklisp and your source-registry. * Small fixes regarding upgrade, compile-file* :output-file. * Make defsystem-depends-on actually useful by allowing a system thus depended on to define the class of the system depending on it. The XCVB bridge notably relies on this feature. * Some documentation updates. Notably, for the sake of CLISP, (require "asdf") is the new canonical way to load ASDF, instead of (require :asdf). Sigh. * Better tests, notably wrt hot upgrade. Happy hacking! —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org The American diplomat to the Russian: "My country too is free: in the USA too anyone may freely publish the dirty little secrets of president Medvedev!"

[asdf-announce] ASDF 2.014 released
by Faré 28 Mar '11

Dear ASDF users, I just blessed ASDF 2.013.7 as 2.014. As compared to 2.013, it includes a significant quality item that makes it essential for everyone who distributes ASDF without an implementation (e.g. Quicklisp). It also includes better SCL support, cosmetic improvements, and robustification of some corner cases. Tests have been added to prevent the regressions observed in the 2.013 release. * Fixed bug preventing upgrade from 2.000 to 2.008 (test added) * Better support for URL pathnames on SCL (test added) * Robustified defsystem-depends-on * Cosmetic changes: * better more portably readable error messages. * remove forward references, again (test added) * canonicalize system names earlier (slight robustness improvement) As usual, I invite people who distribute ASDF to update the version they ship, be it with their implementations, with their software distribution, etc. Happy Happy Joy Joy [ François-René ÐVB Rideau | Reflection&Cybernethics | http://fare.tunes.org ] "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas.

[asdf-announce] ASDF 2.013 released
by Faré 20 Mar '11

Dear Common Lisp Users, I just blessed ASDF 2.012.12 as 2.013. It includes many small improvements since previous release, for portability, robustness, usability. For the sake of making these improvements available to all users, I invite all vendors and packagers to update their software to include this latest release. Improvements since 2.012: * Fixes and cleanups for CLISP, ECL, SBCL. * Added support for two legacy platforms: (R)MCL, Genera * Cleanup features: now using #+asdf-unix and #+asdf-window * Many cleanups and improvements regarding our portable pathname layer * Fixes a regression in source-registry scanning from 2.011.4 * Remember *source-registry-parameter* and *output-translations-parameter* * Export and document coerce-pathname (f.k.a merge-component-name-type) * allow description and long-description for all components * Several documentation updates Happy hacking, [ François-René ÐVB Rideau | Reflection&Cybernethics | http://fare.tunes.org ] I hold that America, Champion of the World is a betrayal of its humble beginnings as One Nation Underdog.

[asdf-announce] ASDF 2.012
by Faré 03 Jan '11

I finally released ASDF 2.012, which is 2.011.9 being blessed. Since the previous release 2.011, there have been several minor improvements. Nothing serious or urgent, as ASDF 2 is getting mature, but it would be great if implementations were to update their version of ASDF to this latest release. Changes: Added :here directive to pathname DSL, robustified ECL support, fixed infinite loop when filesystem clock is in the future, extended the AOT DSL and made it more futureproof, fixed how clear-system interacts with map-systems, fixed use of directory under old SBCLs, fixed run-shell-command status and version string under clisp, fixed error messages. In the master (development) branch, I committed further cleanups as 2.012.1.
