As a suggestion, the documentation should also be upgraded to reflect the change to github and any other new features that are added.
Yes. I reworked the setup instructions (and reworked the `slime-setup' mechanism slightly), have a look at the new README in the github home page and try it out.
I was referring to the manual that is in the slime/doc folder, which still contains all the CVS instructions for downloading slime. I keep the slime manual handy for reference. Sorry I didn't make myself clear in my last message.
Oh, you're right, that needs updating too.
We'll make updating the texinfo manual a prerequisite for the next release. I'm afraid we won't be able to update your existing printed copy though :-)
Still, the trunk might always contain some instability, in those cases do fallback to the last tag and report those bugs in the issue tracker. We'll try to sort out a release strategy as soon as possible.
I did notice some problems in the master branch, so I checked out SLIME_2 and used that.
Care to describe them? I'd be very insterested.
I get several messages when I start slime after checking out the master branch.
Connecting to Swank on port 34085.. error in process filter: slime-for-each-presentation-in-region: Invalid function: (handle-presentation (presentation point) (multiple-value-bind (start end whole-p) (slime-presentation-bounds point presentation object) (funcall function presentation start end whole-p))) error in process filter: Invalid function: (handle-presentation (presentation point) (multiple-value-bind (start end whole-p) (slime-presentation-bounds point presentation object) (funcall function presentation start end whole-p)))
That was not the case yesterday, but this morning I downloaded slime again thinking that the manual may have been updated and now I get the messages when I start slime. I also get similar messages when I use "repl>clear buffer" menu item.
