Subject: [trivial-shell-devel] announcing 0.1.2
Message-ID: <89099595-2929-42C9-9421-52F06090FACF@metabang.com>

[Trivial-shell][] now has support for an input parameter to `shell- 
command`. This can be a stream or a string and is used as input to  
the command. As of today, only Allegro and SBCL are implemented  
tested (though I think CMUCL should also work). I need to add support  
for OpenMCL, CLISP, etc. Any patches are welcome since I haven't had  
time to set up all of these Lisps on my OS X box yet.

The other *new*, *improved* thing is that you can use `*shell-search- 
paths*` to control how shell commands are found. If you pass a full  
path specification to `shell-command`, then no path searching is  
done. If, however, you pass a bare command, then trivial-shell will  
iterate over `*shell-search-paths*` and try to find a match. I find  
this helpful in getting things to run a bit more smoothly under  
different OSs and Lisps.

See the [changelog][] for more details about the changes.
