[cmucl-imp] Git repo for cmucl
by Raymond Toy 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Cmucl is now officially moving to git. The CVS repo will be turned off soon, and, in fact, should no longer be used at all. The repo will still be available for historical reasons, but no new code should be checked in to it. We had planned on moving to git almost a year ago, but for various reasons never got around to it until now. Additional information will be placed on cmucl's trac wiki, but for now, you can view the repo using trac (coming soon to http://trac.common-lisp.net/cmucl/browser) or directly at <http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/cmucl/cmucl.git;a=summary;js=1> For now you can clone the repo using git clone git://common-lisp.net/projects/cmucl/cmucl.git src or for developers git clone ssh://<user>@common-lisp.net/var/git/projects/cmucl/cmucl.git src There is a minor issue to be taken care of: What to do with the RCS keywords that are in all of the files. I rather like seeing that information when you describe something. (Mostly to see when the file was last modified.) Ray

[cmucl-imp] Labor Day snapshot
by Raymond Toy 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

The Sept snapshot has been tagged and binaries will be uploaded soon. Notable changes in this snapshot: - ASDF2 updated to version 2.017. - Improve type propagation for LOAD-TIME-VALUE. - Getting documentation of a structure via DOCUMENTATION no longer signals an error. - Reduce unnecessary consing of SAPs in ROOM. - Make stack overflow checking actually work on Mac OS X. The implementation had the :stack-checking feature, but it didn't actually prevent stack overflows from crashing lisp. - Fix rounding of numbers larger than a fixnum. (This is an ancient bug, going back to the original CMU sources, I think.) Ray
