<br>
did MKCL recently change the bundle file type from "fasb" to "fas"?<br>

For the record, I never liked the idea of .fasb; but if you make<br>

Also, it seems to me that si:mkcl-version and<br>
cl:lisp-implementation-version used to be the same (and/or the former<br>
didn't exist?), but now latter is more precise whereas the former is<br>
used for number .so. Is that correct?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, this was the first post-1.1.10 change to MKCL. This change should</div><div>only affect git controlled development versions of MKCL. For released</div><div>versions of MKCL the two functions are still identical. Under git, the</div><div>preference is given to the new #'si::git-describe-this-mkcl instead, which</div><div>gives a more exact description of the real version of the specific instance</div><div>of MKCL.

Is it OK if I support only the latest version of MKCL?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't have any expectations in that area other than that latest ASDF</div><div>release should work on latest MKCL master branch head or something</div><div>close to this.

Do you have an idea of how many users you have, and whether some<br>
insist on using old versions of MKCL?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I do not have any counter on the number of MKCL instances in use out there</div><div>but I had some surprises in the past in that domain.</div><div>And I am not on notice that anyone insist on using any specific old version of MKCL.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Finally, test-program.script now fails,<br>
