I’m happy to announce the release of the next beta version of Clon , the Common Lisp / Command-Line Options Nuker. This release contains few functional changes, but a lot of infrastructure ones, plus very important and backward-incompatible modifications. So if you’re a Clon user, please read on.

After 15 betas, I’m happy enough with the current state of Declt , my reference manual generator for Common Lisp Libraries, to finally make a 1.0 release. A lot of things have changed since the previous version, sometimes in a backward-incompatible way. Many more items are documented (including, as you have recently seen, method combinations). In addition to the reference manual, generated by Declt itself, there is now a real user manual.

This morning, I came up with a nice little trick which made my day. Perhaps this is already well known or even idiomatic, but in case it is not, it goes like this.

I’ve just released a new version of Declt , my reference manual generator for Common Lisp Libraries. This version underwent a major internals overhaul, required by some of the new features described below:

A new version of Clon , the Common Lisp / Command-Line Options Nuker, is out. Amongst other things, the following improvements have been made. Support for ABCL has been updated, now that it provides a full MOP. A workaround for SBCL’s CC environment variable problem has been implemented. If the variable is not set (required for sb-grovel), Clon now switches to restricted mode instead of aborting. The dump macro has been extended to accept a &rest argument that will be passed on to the underlying, implementation-specific, dumping facility. A contrib directory has been added, for storing unapplied patches, suggestions etc.

I’ve just released a new version of Declt , my reference manual generator for Common Lisp Libraries. This release containts some improvements based on Sabra Crolleton’s feedback. The most notable improvements are support for two new license types (MIT and LGPL), a new :declt-notice keyword argument that gives you control on the “automatically generated by Declt” notice that appears in the reference manuals, and a bug fix (missing support for empty lists in lambda-lists).

Programming languages are tools. Just like hammers. There’s nothing personal about them. They just help you build stuff. Yet, there are many religious wars about programming languages out there. Wars which despite being all about science, are much more related to emotions, beliefs and personal aggressions than about objective arguments. This is funny because do you know of any religious wars about hammers? So what’s the difference?

I’ve just released a new version of Declt , my reference manual generator for Common Lisp Libraries. This release includes some uninteresting internals update, plus an important bug fix: there were two calls to find-method missing an errorp flag set to nil, leading to Declt throwing an error where it shouldn’t have.

A new version of Clon , the Common Lisp / Command-Line Options Nuker, is out. The most important change in this release is the support for LispWorks, which brings the number of supported implementations to 8. One left to go, and I may eventually switch to RC status. Thanks to Martin Simmons for providing a fully functionnal version of LW 6.1. As for CLISP and Allegro, there is an optional dependency on CFFI for LispWorks.

Here’s a little Monday Troll. To my greatest disappointment, I discovered today that it is not possible to replace Lisp parenthesis by, say, curly braces. What a shame. Hell, it’s not even possible to freely mix the two. Very naively, I had expected that
