Dear Lisp hackers, ASDF 2.27 was a major rewrite of ASDF, and everything since then should be considered as candidate releases for ASDF 3: http://lists.common-lisp.net/pipermail/asdf-announce/2013-February/000014.ht... ASDF 2.28 was released shortly after 2.27, without an announcement, to fix an issue found by Stelian Ionescu using TEST-OP on some systems. ASDF 2.29 is a stability release, with which I'm once again inviting implementers to update the ASDF they distribute. Since ASDF 2.27, ASDF 2.29 further brings: * deferred-warnings support for Allegro, CMUCL, SCL; fixes to the CCL support. * Upgrade fixes regarding fallback system versions; making it possible (via massive use of eval-when) to compile ASDF without loading it first. * Compatibility with private use of :D package nickname by not claiming it for package ASDF/DRIVER anymore. Also explicitly handle NIL in safe-file-write-date, in case the implementation doesn't issue a file-error in that case; make UTF-8 the default encoding for with-input-file. Be portable to #+(and sbcl (not sb-eval)). * Bugfixes to old bugs: inline-methods can now be unqualified (lp#485393), defsystem-depends-on accepts arbitrary specs, not just names (lp#1027521). —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Panties: not best thing on earth, but next to it.
