+  <li> <strong>2006-01-03</strong> BIG NEWS! cells-gtk now runs under <a href="http://clisp.cons.org">CLISP</a>.
+   and uses <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/">CFFI</a>, not Hello-c for its foreign function interface. 
+   The 2006-01-03 tarball reflects these changes. Especial thanks to Novikov Leonid, who did the CLISP port
+   to get things started. The new code has been tested with Lispworks 4.5 Pro/Linux, CLISP/Linux, and CMUCL/Linux.
+   If I didn't break anything, it also works CLISP/PC and Lispworks/PC. SBCL is probably an easy port.</li>
   <li> <strong>2005-11-15</strong> We now provide the win32 .dll
    and linux .so for libcellsgtk. They are:
    <a href="ftp://common-lisp.net/pub/project/cells-gtk/libcellsgtk.so">this for linux</a> and 
    <a href="ftp://common-lisp.net/pub/project/cells-gtk/libcellsgtk.dll">this for win32</a>. 
    This is sort of experimental. If you have problems (e.g. with version mismatch) drop the

   <li> <strong>2005-10-08</strong> Some additional discussion in FAQ. Some
     work to implement DrawingArea is underway in CVS HEAD.
