Ah, sorry, you were not CC'ed.

Faré contacted me for help when he wanted to run cl-test-grid
tests himself, and we ended up testing that version (d70a8f8).

The reports for the current version (c3f7c73) are below.

The summary is that I see no errors caused by new ASDF.

The only regression you may be interested in is "COMMON-LISP:TYPE-ERROR : value NIL is not of the expected type STRUCTURE."
occurring on CCL 1.8.

It happens because (I think) new ASDF restores special variable values
after .asd file is loaded.

CCL 1.8 initializes *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* to NIL, causing
(SET-PPRINT-DISPATCH ...) to fail with this error, unless
somebody initialized *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* e.g. by  
(COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH NIL)

This is CCL bug #784 (and duplicated as #960).

The file ~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/nst-4.0.2/ext/defdoc/defdoc.asd
uses this workaround. But with new ASDF, when one of it's fasl files is loaded
(nst-4.0.3/ext/defdoc/lisp/core/output.lx32fsl), *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* is nil.
I.e. the workaround has no effect.

The reports:

As you see, there are many "improvements" on old lisps just because
many systems use new ASDF features not provided by the ASDF version
shipped with those old lisp impls.

For convenience, here is the diff report including only the tests
which fail on new ASDF:
https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-test-grid/asdf/asdf-diff-48.html

I marked by yellow notes the failures I think not necessary to consider.

Some tests are still running, I will report as they finish.

Best regards,
