[cmucl-imp] August snapshot tagged
by Raymond Toy 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

The August snapshot has been tagged and binaries will be uploaded shortly. The changes are pretty small this month and include a fix for type derivation for FLOAT, and optimizations for some x86 VOPS. Note also that we are switching the mailing list from cmucl-imp(a)cons.org to cmucl-imp(a)cmucl.cons.org. The old address will work for another month, but then it will go away. It also appears that gmane is already subscribed to cmucl-imp(a)cmucl.cons.org so we're set there. I will update the web pages shortly to the new address. Ray

[cmucl-imp] Big spam problem on CMUCL lists hosted on cons.org
by Martin Cracauer 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

The cmucl lists on cons.org are being bombarded and we had to turn them off and will have to move them to a better defended host in the next hours. They might not be reachable until tomorrow. My own incoming mail is affected because of the wimpy hardware backing both, so contacting me on facebook or G+ might be necessary.

[cmucl-imp] Fourth of July snapshot
by Raymond Toy 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

The (4th of) July snapshot has been tagged and binaries are now available. There were very few changes for this snapshot; the main change is that I upgraded my Mac to OSX 10.8 (from 10.6). See http://trac.common-lisp.net/cmucl/wiki for more detail. Ray

[cmucl-imp] Lexical closures and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS
by Mark Cox 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

G'day, Invoking a FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT which has the lexical closure created below as its function signals an error. (defvar *a* nil) (defclass something () () (:metaclass pcl:funcallable-standard-class)) (defun ensure-something (function) (let ((s (make-instance 'something))) (pcl:set-funcallable-instance-function s function) (setf *a* s))) (let ((offset 1)) (ensure-something #'(lambda (a) (+ offset a 3)))) (print (funcall *a* 3)) ;; Should be 7. Compiling and loading the above code (just loading is not enough) should produce the following error on CMUCL 20D x86 Darwin Argument X is not a NUMBER: #<Closure Over Function "LET ((OFFSET 1))" {49854C01}>. [Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR] Thanks Mark

[cmucl-imp] Snapshot 2013-06
by Raymond Toy 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

Another month, another snapshot. Changes for this snapshot: o ASDF 3.0.1 o The Unicode extensions for CL:STRING-UPCASE and friends have been removed. You can find the extensions in UNICODE:STRING-UPCASE and friends. o REVERSE on strings is much faster o REVERSE on strings no longer preserves the order of surrogate pairs; they are reversed now, as required. Binaries will be uploaded soon. Ray

[cmucl-imp] ASDF 3.0.0
by Faré 15 May '13

15 May '13

Dear CMUCL hackers, I'm proud to announce the release of release ASDF 3.0.0. Please test it and include it in CMUCL. I'll have to produce some document explaining the innovations since ASDF 2.26, 2.000 and/or 1.369, but for now here are just the changes since 2.33. As you can see, it's very minor stuff, and ASDF has been mostly stable these last two months, which is a good sign and the reason why I'm making an official 3.0.0 release. I'm also inserting a new digit in the version, so releases will have three digits: 3.0.0, 3.0.1, etc. will be minor continuations of 3.0. 3.1.0 will be the next "major" milestone in a series that preserves backward compatibility, and 4.0 (if ever) will be the next major release that doesn't. But I probably won't be there to see it, because I'm moving away from my Common Lisp job in Cambridge MA to some new as yet undetermined opportunities in NYC that are unlikely to see me do Common Lisp for a living, and I plan to try out different Lisps for a hobby (Racket, Maru, etc.). * Portability: have *uninteresting-conditions* be empty by default. Move stuff to *usual-uninteresting-conditions*, unused by default. Will make the SBCL team happy. Also, fix tests on ABCL. Fix regression of program-op on ECL, by implicitly linking in UIOP or ASDF. * UIOP: improvements to slurp-input-stream and thus run-program, notably accepting T as alias for *standard-output*, for better backward-compatibility of the deprecated run-shell-command. New macro with-output-file. * POIU support enhanced with various tweaks. * Build cleanup so make and concatenate-source-op create the same asdf.lisp —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org There cannot be Ethics without Models of possible behaviors, and Imagination to explore them.

[cmucl-imp] Snapshot 2013-05
by Raymond Toy 11 May '13

11 May '13

Just in time for Mother's day (for those geeking Mom's everywhere), we have yet another snapshot in a long line of monthly snapshots. Only a few changes this month since the April snapshot was delayed for quite some time: * Clean ups of the Config file and removal of some outdated and unused Configs. * Some speed ups in gencgc on most platforms. Binaries will be uploaded soon. Ray

[cmucl-imp] April snapshot
by Raymond Toy 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

The April snapshot has been tagged and binaries will be uploaded shortly. The delay in the snapshot was caused by a move of common-lisp.net to a new place. I think everything has been restored and working as before. Certainly the git repo has been restored along with trac. Sorry for the delay. Ray
