Clozure Common Lisp binaries packages

ArchLinux AUR now has a package build for the Clozure Common Lisp binaries, both 32-bit and 64-bit.

CCL is an excellent free alternative to the wide-spread SBCL.

Weblocks 0.8.2 is out

Quite shortly after the 0.8.1 release of Weblocks, Hunchentoot 1.0.0 was released.

Since this major release of Hunchentoot is not entirely backwards compatible we now have another release.

Besides working with the new Hunchentoot it offers:

  • A new example (simple-blog) has been added (with a matching screencast tutorial by Benjamin Collins).
  • An experimental Twitter widget by Ian Eslick (in contrib/)
  • The Elephant store backend working again

Apart from that it should be backwards-compatible with the earlier 0.8 releases.

cl-i18n 0.3 released

I had not expected contributions coming in so quickly, but thanks to Vilson Vieira cl-18n can now extract translatable strings in a rudimentary fashion. Use it like this after loading the package:

(i18n-util:generate-i18n-file "gowron-monologue.lisp" "klingon.lisp")

You need cl-ppcre for it right now, and it can’t merge yet (the target file gets overwritten). But it’s a good start!

Good enough in any case for me to add a README and call it version 0.3.
