"Good news, everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love!" [1]
Can we get a last few patches in for some compatibility bugs? Maybe we then want to have it as FAIRLY-STABLE for a few days to make sure they don't introduce a regression?
I only followed the 1.2.1 conversation cursorily but wasn't it launched by some complaint over unstable named release? Let's try to make a good one here; it's the big Two Point Zero!
Then we can bump the version number with big fanfare and hooplah on Planet Lisp, Slashdot, and Reddit. Get some good press for our favorite development environment.
Anyone know who maintains (is it dead) the Lisp In a Box? Maybe try to get a simultaneous release?
Problems and patches:
Slime CVS has been broken on XEmacs for several weeks now (due to use of assoc-default). Originally reported with bugs: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-April/004737.html Better fix after discussion: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-April/004757.html This alone is fixed with the attached patch slime-filename-translations.diff
Slime CVS won't work on some windows setups (not accounting for :device). http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-April/004736.html This alone is fixed with the attached patch swank-source-files.diff
Slime-loader doesn't work nicely with CLC. I don't know too much about it; I came across this patch tracking down another problem. http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-March/004664.html The patch swank-loader-ALL.diff wraps up the patches given in that thread and my separate patch for windows compat. I have only tested the #-common-lisp-controller branch of this;
All of those patches together are given in patch nb-4-12-06.diff
I think these are fairly stable. I have tried to test them with X and Gnu Emacs on WinXP + ACL7-trail, and Debian2.6 + SBCL 0.9.10 without hitting any problems.

Hello,
I plan to take the current slime from cvs (taken at the moment I post this) and call it a release.
Given the many features and fixes added since 1.3.1, I propose calling/numbering it
slime 2.0If there aren't any objections, I will publish it in about 24 hours.
Regards, Mario.
