Are there any plans for a 1.1 or 1.0.1 or whatever "official" release. (I think I've read all the SLIME messages that have come across the transom in recent months but I haven't been paying super close attention so may have missed an announcement or discussion.) I ask because after the 25th when I turn in my last page proof, I'm going to be spending a month getting together a Lisp in a Box distro that includes the code from my book. And I seem to recall that SLIME 1.0 doesn't work with the newer versions of SBCL (because of the Unicode support added to SBCL?). So from my purely selfish point of view, now would be an excellent time for an official upgrade of SLIME. If that's not going to happen I'll probably build a LIAB distro with some snapshot of CVS SLIME that seems to work well.
Also, if there are specific things that need to happen before a 1.1 or 1.0.1 release of SLIME, let me know; maybe I can tackle some of them.
