|
- 2001-12-20
- Experimental binaries, similar to the upcoming 18d release, are
available in the binaries directory of the download sites.
- 2001-12-10
- Experimental binaries for OpenBSD/x86 have been uploaded to the
experimental directory of the download sites.
- 2001-08-15
- A number of mirror sites have been make available.
- 2001-07-26
- The primary CMUCL server was taken offline unexpectedly, due to a move
of the hosting company. The mailing lists are still running, but CVS and
FTP/HTTP downloads are currently unavailable.
- 2001-07-16
- Added pointer to PGPLOT-CL to the Ports page.
- 2001-07-05
- Improvements to the way subsystems are loaded: the modules:
pathname is initialized correctly, to make things like
(require :clx-library) work. Also, the features :NO-CLX,
:NO-HEMLOCK which are used to control subsystem compilation during
the build phase are no longer present in the final cores.
- 2001-06-28
- Various ANSI compliance fixes: :CLTL2,
:DRAFT-ANSI-CL, :X3J13 features removed. Changes in the
precedence lists of certain conditions: for example
NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD now subclasses TYPE-ERROR.
- 2001-06-19
- Beginnings of a FAQ.
- 2001-06-17
- A new version of the EncyCMUCLopedia (compendium of documents
related to CMUCL) has been released.
- 2001-06-12
- New web pages go live.
- 2001-06-11
- Bugfix for printing of bit vectors (printer was incorrectly respecting
radix and base control variables). Also bugfixes to pretty printing of
vectors.
- 2001-06-03
- Changes to DEFMACRO processing, to improve ANSI compliance. It
now has compile-time effect only when at top-level.
- 2001-05-13
- improvements to disassembly listings on x86 and SPARC.
o Sparc v9 instructions are longer so make the opcode column wider.
o Allow printing of integer registers to use the Sparc register names
instead of the Lisp names.
o Add support for printing various notes during disassembly:
o Assembler routines, foreign functions, and foreign constants
o The value of constants in the code header
o References to static symbols
o Notes about pseudo-atomic stuff
o Some hints on header-word types
- 2001-05-03
- Linux RPMs available at rpmfind.net.
- 2001-04-25
- Changes to PCL (the CLOS implementation included with CMUCL) to remove
code for other Common Lisp implementations.
- 2001-04-12
- CMUCL is reported to segfault on linux 2.2 with the bigmem patch and
the CONFIG_2GB option (certain distributions ship kernels
with these patches applied). It works ok using the option
CONFIG_1GB.
- 2001-03-20
- Changes to PROCLAIM and DECLAIM to be more
ANSI-compliant. PROCLAIM no longer has a compile-time effect,
so many old uses of this should use DECLAIM instead.
- 2001-03-15
- The directory src/bootfiles/18c contains a number of files
required to bootstrap compilation from the 18c release. See the README
in that directory for usage.
- 2001-02-10
- A PowerPC backend has been contributed by Gary Byers. Work is underway
to revive the code.
- 2001-01-08
- A port of the XML parser from Franz
Inc is available from ports/xmlutils.
The port does not support Unicode, since CMUCL has no support for
extended character sets.
