Compatibility =============

This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations:

* SBCL * OpenMCL * CLISP (requires "Telent" CLX) * Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 in ANSI Mode

In our tests, this release of McCLIM did not work on the following implementations:

* 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)

Also, McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive readers (Allegro CL "modern mode" and lower-case Scieneer CL).

Changes in mcclim-0.9.5 "Eastern Orthodox Liturgical New Year" relative to 0.9.4: ==============================================================

From the NEWS file:

* Changes in mcclim-0.9.5 relative to 0.9.4: ** Installation: the systems clim-listener, scigraph, clim-examples, and clouseau can now be loaded without loading the system mcclim first. Users with existing McCLIM installations should use the provided script: ./symlink-asd-files.sh /path/to/asdf-central-registry/ ** New extension: tab-layout. This extension allows keeping a stack of panes whose foreground pane is controlled by a tab bar. This layout can be customized in backends and frame managers. For examples, see the gtkairo backend and the pixie frame manager. ** New extension function: SHEET-RGB-IMAGE: makes a screenshot of a sheet in the CLX backend. (Supported on truecolor visuals only for now.) ** New experimental extension: tree-with-cross-edges are an extension to the graph formatter. ** New experimental backend: clim-graphic-forms: native widgets on Windows. This backend is still very experimental (it doesn't run demos yet). ** New inspector feature: The inspector now displays more useful information about hash tables and generic functions. ** Specification compliance: Various layout panes no longer quite as aggressive at eating the space requirements of their children. ** Specification compliance: There is now a rudimentary implementation of NOTIFY-USER ** Usability: Text editors and text input panes now use click-to-focus. ** Improvement: the ACCEPTING-VALUES command table was renamed to ACCEPT-VALUES (as this is the name that the other clim-2 implementation uses) ** Improvement: the CLX backend should no longer cause focus stealing when an application has text-editor panes. This change comes with a rudimentary click-to-focus-keyboard widget policy. ** Improvement: define-application-frame now allows a :default-initargs option. (This is not exactly a "specification compliance" fix, as d-a-frame is not defined to accept this option.). ** Improvement: menu-choose menus now look a little prettier. ** Improvement: added more styles for bordered-output: :rounded, :ellipse ** Improvement: Toggle button values now default to NIL. ** Improvement: Frame layouts are now inherited from the frame's superclass. ** Improvement: The Lisp Syntax is much improved: now recognizes delimiter characters, and more types of Lambda lists. ** Bug fix: Bezier designs should now draw in the right place in all backends. ** Bug fix: Text in Drei no longer "walks" to the left. ** Bug fix: Drei now has better support for delimiter gestures. ** Bug fix: Partial commands now work better when invoked from the menu.
