FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MCLIDE is a free open source Macintosh IDE for Lisp implementations on any platform. It's a double-clickable, stand-alone development environment that just like SLIME connects to a Lisp running a Swank server. The first public beta of MCLIDE 1.0 is now available from: http://mclide.in-progress.com This version of MCLIDE is verified to work with Clozure CL (a.k.a. OpenMCL) and Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) as target lisp implementations. It can potentially be used with the same Lisp implementations as SLIME. MCLIDEs user interface is based on the mature IDE of Macintosh Common Lisp. It provides rich interactive development and debugging tools in the form of dialogs interacting with the target Lisp. MCLIDE provides a consistent developer experience regardless of the Lisp. It can be used on the same computer as a Lisp system, or target one or more Lisp implementations on other computers or operating systems. Special thanks to Peter Paine for substantial feedback and suggestions. Glen Foy has provided a lisp syntax styling utility as an optional plug-in. MCLIDE has also benefitted from contributions by Shannon Spires and Madhu, among others. Follow the progress of MCLIDE at www.twitter.com/mclide -- Terje Norderhaug terje@in-progress.com
