MKCL 1.1.11
<http://common-lisp.net/project/mkcl/releases/MKCL-1.1.11.tar.gz> is now
available for general use on the MKCL
<http://common-lisp.net/project/mkcl> page
along with the usual set of pre-compiled binaries for MS-Windows. This
release is mostly a consolidation of all the bug fixes accumulated along
the last 2 years and a half or so. Please consult the log on MKCL's gitlab
repository <https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/mkcl/mkcl> for a detailed
account of the changes.
The content of the "contrib" directory has also been updated. Most notably,
ASDF is now at 3.3.3 and CFFI at 0.20.0.
Now, the future of MKCL is in somewhat of a state of flux. Changes to the
code structure of what is currently evolving to become MKCL 1.2.0 have been
extremely extensive. So much so that I have deemed best to drop this
current code base and to rather start a complete rewrite from scratch that
would then import the best and most recent parts of the previous code base
when appropriate. The current work on MKCL 1.2.0 has already shown that
great performance improvements both in time and space could be
accomplished. The rewrite has clearly the potential to push this much
further...
Cheers,
