With the sbcl/windows regression on uiop:run-program fixed (1), and the lib-op and monolithic-lib-op features reasonably implemented on all implementations beyond ECL & co (though requiring a CFFI patch), I believe we're all set for ASDF 3.1.6.
Anton, do you have time to make a test run of cl-test-grid?
If some of you believe the C linking features should (or shouldn't) be included in this release (or the next one), now is the time to voice your opinion. It's 300 to 400 more lines of code — or 800 if we splurge and merge in most of lisp-invocation as we go instead of special-casing it.

Apparently, the first release that include PRINT-BACKTRACE is 1.1.5 from February 2013.
I'll let Robert decide whether it's OK to drop support for SBCL releases older than that.
I'd weakly vote "yes, it's OK to stop supporting things more than 2 years old", but that's just me.

The status remains the same - no failures which could be attributed to new ASDF.
Some other versions of these lisp implementations will be tested too. I will followup.
For the record, reports are here:
Full diff https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/asdf/asdf-diff-49.html
As you see, there are many "improvements" on old lisps just because many systems use new ASDF features not provided by the ASDF version shipped with those old lisp impls.
For convenience, here is the diff report including only the tests which fail on new ASDF: https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/asdf/asdf-diff-50.html

I agree. I believe that it's appropriate. I'd be willing to see us drop support for the 1.1.x series, for that matter. IMO it's easier to keep track of "1.1 is unsupported" than try to remember which monthly release in particular is unsupported. Agreeable policy?
Question for someone more knowledgeable: is there a brief explanation of the difference between 1.1 and 1.2 SBCLs? What triggered the bump of minor version?
thanks, r

Considering that the propagation latency for ASDF itself is about 2 years, it might be a bad idea to drop support for things that are only a bit over a year old (sbcl 1.1.18, last in the series). That said, it's true that SBCL upgrades ASDF about every year, so that makes more sense. Still. I would say that 2 year old is probably a better rule of thumb.

The problem with this rule of thumb is that it requires the ASDF maintainer (me) to track SBCL releases and be able to map release numbers to dates. I don't like that. It's more work and cognitive load that I really don't have room for.
Given that some version of 1.1.x of SBCL can no longer be supported, I'd prefer to write off all of 1.1

Well in cases like this where we introduce backward incompatibility, we still have to use git to identify the change back to which we remain compatible, to make sure it's old enough — and at that point, git gives us both the date and number of the first release that includes the change for free.

I'm sorry, that's too much cognitive load. 2 significant digits is all I'm willing to track, and I'm not willing to track dates.
So I'm not going to reject patches that will support SBCL 1.1.x versions, but as far as I'm concerned, ASDF only supports 1.2.x
