Dear Lispers,
I'd like to release ASDF 2.24 some time next week. Since last release 2.23, the improvements are mostly related to portability:
* ACL: handle SMP vs non-SMP builds in Allegro 9.0 * MKCL: add support for ManKai Common Lisp * ECL: merge improvements from ECL git. Refactor ECL support somewhat. * Remove broken-fasl-support: first, cormanlisp is supposed to have fixed it; second, cormanlisp is dead; third, one can now (setf *load-system-operation* 'load-source-op) instead. * renaming ends-with to string-suffix-p to avoid conflict with alexandria. * Refactor load-system to use *load-system-operation*, and change require-system and module-provide-asdf to use that.
Also note: * We recommend you use asdf-utils to access the utilities in asdf. Some time next year, we may stop exporting the utilities from asdf itself. * To avoid conflicts between alexandria, fare-utils, xcvb-driver, asdf-utils, etc., you can use xcvb-utils that solves the conflicts. Or you can use fare-utils:define-package-mix that will help you automatically resolve them.
