1.10 testing version available

[R. Matthew Emerson]

A pre-release version of CCL 1.10 is available for testing.

You can use Subversion to get this version by using the following command:

svn co http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/openmcl/release/1.10/linuxx86/ccl

To get a version for a platform other than linuxx86, change the linuxx86 to darwinx86, freebsdx86, solarisx86, windows, linuxppc, or linuxarm.

If you have trouble starting the lisp, you may need to rebuild the lisp kernel binary on your local system. To do this, go into the proper build directory within the the lisp-kernel/ subdirectory of the ccl directory, and do "make clean && make". For example, on FreeBSD, you would do

cd lisp-kernel/freebsdx8664 # or freebsdx8632 for the 32-bit version
make clean && make

I mention FreeBSD in particular because I build the binaries with FreeBSD 10, and I'm sure that not all FreeBSD users have moved to that version yet.

Note that you need to have m4 installed in order to compile the lisp kernel. See http://ccl.clozure.com/ccl-documentation.html#Kernel-build-prerequisites for gory details about the build process.

Anyway, if you're still with me after reading all that, please consider downloading the 1.10 pre-release and testing it with your code. If you find problems, the best way to report them is to use http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/. After you register and sign in, click on "New Ticket" in the top navigator bar. If you don't want to register, you can send mail to the list or to me privately.

I thank you in advance for any testing you are willing to do.

It appears that ticket 1205 is still unfixed. Any chance of getting this looked at before releasing 1.10? It’s really super-annoying.

Hi Ron -

That ticket (which is a duplicate of #1151) is assigned to Zach. He's currently on a paid gig, and we have to prioritize paid work as I'm sure you understand. If you'd like to get this taken care of via a support incident, we could probably get it into version 1.10. (I say "probably" only because I don't know whether it is obscenely difficult for some reason.) Otherwise, we'll keep the ticket active but can't promise to get to it now.

I'm on vacation (hah), so I won't be able to talk over the details of this with you, but if you're interested in funding the fix you should let Gail know.

Thanks for the feedback.

I now return to my vacation.

Yours,

Andrew

Why cannot it be upgraded directly from 1.9 release ?
$ uname -r
9.1-RELEASE-p14
$ ccl/svn up
$ ccl '(rebuild-ccl :full t)'
$ ccl
Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.9-r16172M (FreebsdX8632)!

1.9 and 1.10 are on different branches. The revision number (the 16172 in the output above) isn't the entire story.

If you look at the output of "svn info" from a 1.9 checkout and a 1.10 checkout, you'll see that they have different roots.

The benefit of this is that the upcoming 1.10 release doesn't eliminate (or even affect) 1.9.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control#Graph_structure might give you some idea of what I mean by "on different branches."
