[mcclim-announce] (corrected) Announcing McCLIM 0.9.3 "All Souls' Day"
by McCLIM developers 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

The McCLIM developers are happy to release version 0.9.3 of McCLIM, code-named "All Saints' Day". This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations: * SBCL * OpenMCL * Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 in ANSI Mode * The Scieneer Common Lisp in ANSI Mode For compatibility with other implementations, please see the attached release notes. Get the tarball at <http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.3.tar.gz> or install McCLIM via asdf-install. We are looking forward to your comments and bug reports. Please send them to mcclim-devel at common-lisp.net. The list of currently known bugs can be found at <http://mcclim.cliki.net/Bug>. Have fun using McCLIM (and build good things with it), The McCLIM developers. RELEASE NOTES FOR McCLIM 0.9.3, "All Souls' Day": Compatibility ============= This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations: * SBCL * OpenMCL * Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 in ANSI Mode * The Scieneer Common Lisp in ANSI Mode In our tests, this release of McCLIM did not work on the following implementations: * CLISP (there are some problems with CLISP at the moment, but it is possible to run McCLIM there; a HOWTO will be posted to http://planet.lisp.org). * CMUCL (at the time of this release, the released CMUCL has a bug that prevents successful loading of McCLIM; CMUCL 19d + patch 1 and the 2006-12 snapshot or later contain a fix for this problem) * LispWorks (no known workaround) Also, McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive readers (ACL "modern mode" and lower-case SCL). Changes in mcclim-0.9.3 "All Souls' Day" relative to 0.9.2: =========================================================== From the NEWS file: * backend improvement: The Null backend now registers itself in the server search path * improvement: with-output-as-gadget now sets the correct cursor position when incremental redisplay is active. * specification compliance: INVOKE-WITH-NEW-OUTPUT-RECORD's argument list now is the same as the one in the Franz CLIM user guide. * improvement: The text field cursor is now a solid block again. * backend improvement: the PostScript backend now outputs correct EPS * improvement: Graph nodes can now be dragged * improvement: Possibilities when reading from COMPLETE-FROM-GENERATOR are now sorted alphabetically. * new experimental backend: gtkairo (loads on SBCL, CMUCL and SCL): Uses GTK+ for gadgets and cairo for rendering graphics. * Bug fix: incremental-redisplay does no longer leak memory * improvement: incremental-redisplay is now a little faster * Bug fix: Invisible text cursors no longer leave a dangling space behind the text output record * improvement: commands whose names are shadowed in child command tables are now suggested in preference to their parents. * Bug fix: (setf stream-cursor-position) and output record replay on encapsulating streams work now. * Bug fix: Invoking command menu items in frames with no interactor works now. * Bug fix: DESTROY-PORT removes the port even if an error occurs while closing the port * Bug fix: make-process now sets the process name on SBCL * specification compliance: MENU-CHOOSE now supports almost all features demanded in the CLIM 2.0 specification. * improvement: new and improved ACCEPT presentation method for expressions on interactive streams. * specification compliance: LOOKUP-KEYSTROKE-ITEM no longer accepts the :errorp argument. * Bug fix: incremental redisplay no longer breaks on output records that had no children. * Bug fix: arrow head sizes are now transformed along with the line thickness. * improvement: resizing a viewport's child will now move the viewport's focus. * improvement: loading mcclim.asd no longer shows a code deletion note on SBCL. * new demo: logic-cube * compatibility: Add support for post-1.0 openmcl, and for Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 (ansi mode). * new example application showing use of CLIM views.
