| 26 | <dt>OS-independent pathname representation in FASLs</dt> |
|---|
| 27 | <dd>A long-withstanding bug which clearly manifested in release 0.20 with the integration of ASDF 2: pathnames were externalized in FASLs using their OS-dependent printed representation. Thus FASLs containing literal pathnames compiled on Windows didn't work correctly on Linux. This bug has been fixed in this release by always externalizing pathnames using '/' as a separator, so they can be correctly read back on all major OSes.</dd> |
|---|
| 28 | <dt>ASDF2 updated</dt> |
|---|
| 29 | <dd>ASDF has been updated to version 2.004.</dd> |
|---|
| 30 | <dt>CLOS/MOP enhancements</dt> |
|---|
| 31 | <dd>It is now possible to define custom slot definition metaobjects and to add custom defclass options to user-defined metaclasses. It is also now possible to use slot-value, (setf slot-value), and slot-boundp on structure objects.</dd> |
|---|
| 32 | <dt>Java interop enhancements</dt> |
|---|
| 33 | <dd>Java integration has been enhanced: the classpath can now be manipulated and inspected at runtime; a proxy implementing multiple interfaces in Lisp can be produced; and CL:STRING has been extended to call toString() on Java objects.</dd> |
|---|
| 34 | <dt>Other minor bug fixes</dt> |
|---|
| 35 | <dd>Including a few fixes on how certain objects are printed, a MACROLET bug, and support for JSR-223 with Java 1.5. Consult the CHANGES file distributed with ABCL for more details.</dd> |
