[closer-announce] ContextL 0.1 released

[Pascal Costanza]

Hi everyone,

I have just released ContextL 0.1 at http://common-lisp.net/project/ 
closer/contextl.html

Major changes:

- There were unnecesarry &allow-other-keys declarations in some  
places which didn't buy anything but removed some useful runtime  
checks. (In the ContextL presentation in Munich, I was able to  
say :layered-accessors instead of :layered-accessor, and this was  
indeed caused by unnecessary &allow-other-keys declarations.)

- The naming convention for methods on layered functions has been  
removed. Instead, one can now say define-layered-method, which is in  
fact now the preferred way to define layered methods. (Thanks to  
Bjoern Lindberg and Thomas F. Burdick for insisting!)

- It's now possible to say with-inactive-layers. This was one of the  
most requested features at this young age of ContextL. Thanks to  
Thomas F. Burdick, Peter Herth, Boern Lindberg and Jim Newton for  
helping me out with finding a good name for that construct. ;)

Cheers,
Pascal
