Ahoy, I checked in a mkdist.sh shell script for creating a distribution. I made a "fake" release called 1.0alpha0 with it here: http://www.bluetail.com/~luke/misc/lisp/slime-1.0alpha0.tar.gz That's not a real release for distribution, just an example to see if we're missing anything. Two things that I know need doing before releasing an alpha tarball: Update the manual a bit - I'm on it. Write release notes. I've made a start in the NEWS file. It would be great if people could contribute notes about our ACL/CLISP/ABCL backends, and anything important I've missed about the others (e.g. what's the oldest LispWorks what we actually work with?) Is there anything else? If not, I was thinking of making an alpha1 tarball tomorrow or the next day and releasing it. -Luke
