I still would recommend 1.601 as it is an "official" release (whatever that means) whereas 1.596 isn't.
Thanks. That is all I was asking for.
Note that ECL passes tests, if only I tell the test suite to not worry about the warnings ECL issues while compiling asdf.lisp. It is probably a bug in ECL that it should issue these warnings: plenty of unused variable warnings for variables used while dispatching methods, warnings about an unused variables CLOS::.GENERIC-FUNCTION.SI::TEMP as introduced by ECL itself in some macro. Also annoying notes about .COMBINED-METHOD-ARGS. was undefined. Compiler assumes it is a global. Unknown type (VALUES &REST T) And one about ECL expecting two arguments from unintern. The problem with ignoring warnings from ECL is that, though I ignore bogus warnings now, I may be ignoring valid warnings tomorrow.
I was aware of some of those warnings (.combined-method-args., *next-method*), as reported by other users and now fixed in the upcoming release, but not of others (temp?). In this case you should have immediately reported that problem so that I look at it, which I will do before the next release.
