After way too much time mucking with HTML, I have produced a manual!
It's reasonably clear and complete, it's included with the most recent
release (version 1.2.1), and it mimics the style of the Hyperspec.

Check it out: <http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-utilities/doc/>

Comments are welcome, improvements are extremely welcome.

New in this release are two changes:

1. Now this doesn't assume that SBCL has sb-rotate-byte, which was
causing some problems. Thanks to Gary King and John Wiseman for
finding this problem in a certain version of SBCL on ppc.

2. If :split-sequence-deprecated is added to *features* before
compiling cl-utilities, it will create a :split-sequence package which
exports the usual split-sequence interface. This is for easy backward
compatibility. If you do not add :split-sequence-deprecated to
*features*, it will leave split-sequence alone. Thanks to Greg Pfeil
for the idea and some of the code.

So, as usual, not many changes. Enjoy.
