I usually like to update Quicklisp libraries on the first weekend of each month. A few things conspired to delay me this time around, but I hope to have updates published by this Sunday, May 13th.
The coming update includes
version 0.10.7.1 of CFFI,
which has a handful of backwards-incompatible changes. For the most part, Quicklisp projects have been updated to fix compile-time problems with CFFI compatibility. There remains the possibility that some problems lurk that will only appear at runtime. If you work on a project that relies on CFFI, you may want to run it through its paces with the new version to make sure everything still works properly.
update I was wrong about the CFFI updates. There haven't been any backwards-incompatible changes from 0.10.6 to 0.10.7.1. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you for doing this. Quicklisp is a huge benefit to the Common Lisp community.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Any chance of quicklisp automatically removing, or providing a command to remove, older versions of software under its control?
ReplyDeleteIt's on the list of things to do.
DeleteThe old stuff lingers, but it doesn't interfere (except for chewing up disk space).
