Release: Linedit and Osicat
Nikodemus Siivola announced the release of
linedit 0.15.12
and
osicat 0.4.0
on comp.lang.lisp:
Linedit is a readline-style library written in Common Lisp that provides customizable line editing features. It uses UFFI for foreign bindings, so it is fairly portable. It supersedes Cl-readline. Filename completion now expands "~" and "~user". Basic SEXP-motion commands and close-all-sexps added. Includes also minor bugfixes related to commandline history and filename completion. This version requires Osicat 0.4.0. Osicat is a lightweight operating system interface for Common Lisp on Unix platforms. It is not a POSIX-style API, but rather a simple lispy accompaniment to the standard ANSI facilities. This release adds access to the passwd database, and various pathname manipulation utilities. Also includes various bugfixes related to eg. WITH-DIRECTORY-ITERATOR and READ-LINK. Note: this version breaks binary compatibility with older releases in client code, due to removal of internal functions that used to appear in the macroexpansion of WITH-DIRECTORY-ITERATOR. This version causes (harmless) package conflicts with pre 0.15.12 versions of Linedit due to new exported function RELATIVE-PATHNAME-P.
