I've released 1.14. No major changes, but there was some small stuff sitting in the repo, and the half-year-old date of the last release made the project page look a bit dead ;).

Maybe it is a sign that the state is rather stable and not many bugs inside.
Thanks for sharing your code!

does it mean that the default value of *silently-truncate-ratios* will remain T? (this is my last try, i promise... :)
even if so, there's a patch in our repo that does some renaming for more clarity. i've recorded the T/NIL change in a standalone patch, so you can skip pulling it, but i think the other rename patch is useful.
happy hacking,
Hi Attila,
The renaming makes some sense, but now I've already released and documented the old name, which isn't much worse, so I think I'll decline on that patch.
About the default -- I still think a lot of people might be (intentionally or unintentionally) using ratios to fill float slots, so to me defaulting to T makes sense. People who care about precision can easily set the variable to NIL.
Best, Marijn
hello Marijn,
About the default -- I still think a lot of people might be (intentionally or unintentionally) using ratios to fill float slots, so to me defaulting to T makes sense. People who care about precision can easily set the variable to NIL.
users can certainly set it, that's why it was added... but only *AFTER* they have understood and realized the potential dangers, which may be a long time after going live and doing serious miscalculation leading to silent data "corruption"...
but as i promised, it was my last try in this. i'm on the safe side by now anyway... :)
happy hacking,
