<div dir="ltr"><div style>Probably the first release without quicklisp regressions in a long time (at least not one where ECL is to blame :-)</div><div style><a href="http://ecls.sourceforge.net/reports-generated/ecl/index.html">http://ecls.sourceforge.net/reports-generated/ecl/index.html</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Known issues</div><div>============</div><div><br></div><div>* Cygwin's library is still broken: fork/exec fails to reload the</div><div> cygwin library, or ECL's compiled libraries in a completely random</div>
<div> fashion. For this reason we recommend using ext:system instead of</div><div> ext:run-program in that platform.</div><div><br></div><div>* In Windows ECL comes with bytecodes compiler by default, because C</div><div>
compilers are normally not avaiable. Unfortunately several</div><div> libraries out there are not prepared for this. If you plan to use</div><div> quicklisp and have a C compiler accessible to ECL, you may use</div><div>
(ext:install-c-compiler) to switch back to the Lisp-to-C compiler.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Changes since last release</div><div>==========================</div><div><br></div><div>Some highlights of this release are:</div>
<div><br></div><div>* ECL now ships with the whole of the Unicode names database,</div><div> optimally compressed using constant C tables. This means ECL now</div><div> recognizes all valid Unicode (and ASCII) names for the whole range</div>
<div> of characters, and can print them as well.</div><div><br></div><div>* ECL has changed the way it stores compiled data in the C files, so</div><div> that it works around the limit of 65k characters per string.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* ECL now builds with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012.</div><div><br></div><div>* We bend the knee and accept WHILE/IF statements intertwined with</div><div> FOR/AS, though this is still not valid ANSI Common Lisp.</div>
