Removed projects: cl-password-store, fomus, rfc3339-timestamp, rpc4cl.

All the removed projects are removed because they no longer build. For the first two (cl-password-store and fomus), I was unable to get a response from the authors. The other two (rfc3339-timestamp, rpc4cl) the author was responsive, but has abandoned the projects.

To get this update, use (ql:update-dist "quicklisp"). Enjoy!

A number of people support Quicklisp with a monthly contribution through PayPal. I recently set up a Quicklisp Patreon page as an alternative - if you are interested in supporting Quicklisp, feel free to check it out.

This month has an unusually high number of removed projects. There are a couple causes. First, a number of projects have simply disappeared - they are gone from their source locations and there's no sign of a new home. Second, some projects stopped building (sometimes because of missing libraries in the first group, but not always) and weren't fixed in time for this release.

If you depend on one of these removed projects, I can try to help you get in touch with the author to get them back into Quicklisp. Otherwise, you may wish to stick with an older Quicklisp dist where they are still present.

To get this update, use (ql:update-dist "quicklisp").

Updated Quicklisp client now available

I updated the Quicklisp client yesterday. The new version has the following fixes:

• (ql:quickload '()) is allowed and treated as an empty list of things to load - patch from Masatoshi SANO
• :defsystem-depends-on prerequisites are loaded automatically when planning how to load systems

To get this update, use (ql:update-client).

Enjoy!
