Thanks, Robert.
I can find the latest manual, of course, on the asdf website. And I know that I am running asdf 3.1.3, which comes with ccl 1.10-r16196. (Clozure does not, as far as I can tell, supply a manual.)
I always use the pdf version. Just a personal prefence - I dislike html manuals. I also tend to print such manuals out (I know, I know - very old school). Anyway, that makes it easy to get out of sync.
What I am thinking is that it might be useful for the manual to contain an indication of the version of asdf that it pertains to. As, for example in the GNU Make manual, which has on the title page "GNU make Version 4.1". Perhaps an indication of this is already there in the manual, but I can't spot it.
I'm not an expert on Texinfo, but I think we can figure out a way to have it get @value{VERSION} from the make scripts, and then we can put that in as a subtitle.
I'll keep you posted.
OK, I have pushed a patch that will put the version numbers into the ASDF texinfo manual.
The makefile for this uses a horrible snippet of perl, but I don't know a substitute. I am open to replacements.
good night, all, r
Many thanks.
