Quickref 4.0 beta 1 "The Aftermath" is released

Dear all,

as previously announced, I have released the first Quickref version compatible with Declt 4.0 (which is now at beta 2) and which is going to keep track of the development over there. Because Declt 4 is currently considered in beta state, so is Quickref 4 for the time being.

There are a number of important changes in this new major version of the library. Not much interesting from the outside is an infrastructure overhaul which improves the parallel support. The index generation code has also been rewritten to benefit from the recent changes in Declt. Slightly more interesting from the outside is an improvement of the self-documenting aspects of the public interface when used interactively, along with more usage correctness checks. Also, the build environment has been upgraded to Debian Bullseye.

But the most critical change, of course, is the name for the 4.x series. In compliance with the general theme (Iron Maiden songs), and because Quickref 4 is meant to closely follow the brave new Declt version, I thought "Brave New World" would be nice. On the other hand, as Declt wanders through its uncharted 4.0 beta territory, Quickref 4 is likely to suffer the consequences, so perhaps "The Aftermath" is more appropriate...

Anyway, the Docker images are up to date, and so is the Quickref website, currently documenting 2110 Common Lisp libraries.

Enjoy!

Clon 1.0b25 is out

Today, I'm releasing the next beta version of Clon, my command-line options management library.

The previous official release occurred 6 years ago. Since then, a number of changes had been quietly sleeping in the trunk but never made their way into Quicklisp. More recently, I have also applied a number of changes that are worth mentioning here.

First of all, a large part of the infrastructure as been updated, following the evolution of the 8 supported compilers, and that of ASDF and CFFI as well. This should normally be transparent to the user though, provided that one uses reasonably recent compiler / ASDF version ("reasonably" intentionally left undefined). Other than that...

  • The constraints on termio support auto-detection had become slightly too restrictive, so they have been relaxed.
  • The exit function has been deprecated in favor of uiop:quit.
  • The support for running in scripts rather than in dumped executables has been improved, notably by offering the possibility to provide an alternate program name when argv0 is not satisfactory.
  • Clon is now compatible with executables dumped via ASDF's program-op operation, or dumped natively. The demonstration programs in the distribution have been updated to illustrate both dumping methods (ASDF, and Clon's dump function).
  • The documentation on application delivery has been largely rewritten, and has become a full chapter rather than a thin appendix.

There are also a few bug fixes in this release.

  • Several custom readtable problems have been fixed for CCL, CLISP, and ECL (thanks to Thomas Fitzsimmons). Note that Clon depends on named-readtables now.
  • Clon now compiles its termio support correclty with a C++ based ECL (thanks to Pritam Baral).
  • One problem in the conversion protocol for path options has been corrected (thanks to Olivier Certner).

All entrey points are on Clon's web page.

Enjoy!

TFM 1.1 "Carolingan Miniscules" is released

I'm happy to announce the release of TFM version 1.1 "Carolingan Miniscules". TFM is a TeX Font Metrics parser library for Common Lisp.

This release provides support for font scaling and freezing. Scaling is done, as in TeX, by overriding the font's design size, all other dimensions remaining relative to it. Freezing, on the other hand, converts all relative dimensions into absolute ones, potentially saving a lot of run-time arithmetic computation.

Get it at the usual place.

Quickref 3.0 "The Alchemist" is released

Following up with the latest release of Declt, I'm also happy to announce the release of Quickref 3.0 "The Alchemist", our reference manuals aggregator for Quicklisp libraries. The official website has been updated yesterday with both the latest Quicklisp version, and the new Declt, resulting in the documentation of 1792 Common Lisp libraries.

Declt 3.0 "Montgomery Scott" is released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Declt 3.0 "Montgomery Scott", my Texinfo reference manual generator for Common Lisp libraries.

This is a new major release of the library, although the changes may not be so visible from the outside. The main concern in this release has been to increase the robustness of the output, from three different angles.

  1. Many places from where Declt attempts to extract meaningful information are underspecified (ASDF system slots notably).
  2. The pretty-printing of Lisp items can be difficult, given the liberalism and extensibility of the language.
  3. Finally, several restrictions in the syntax of Texinfo itself (anchor names notably) get in the way.

These issues were described in a paper presented at the TeX Users Group conference, this summer in Palo Alto. This release goes a long way toward fixing them.

The new generated reference manuals look mostly the same as before, but some important things have changed under the hood, notably the names of hyperlinks and cross-references (backward-incompatible, hence the increase in the major version number). The output is now also much more robust with respect to the final output format: the generation of HTML, DVI, Postscript, PDF, and even plain Info should work fine and has been tested on all Quicklisp libraries (in fact, Quickref will also be upgraded in the near future to provide all those formats at once).

Those improvements do come at a cost. Unicode is now required (even for Info readers). To be honest, many Lisp libraries already had that implicit requirement. Also, this release depends on improvements and bug fixes only available in Texinfo 6.7, now a requirement as well. I have to thank Gavin Smith, from the Texinfo team, for his collaboration.

Apart from that, this release also has a number of bug fixes.

  • Some method specializers were not handled properly.
  • The manuals were missing documentation for some non-Lisp source files.
  • There were some glitches in the pretty-printing of unreadable objects.

Get it at the usual place, and enjoy!

TFM 1.0 "Artificial Uncial" is released

I'm happy to announce the first stable version of TFM, a TeX Font Metrics parser for Common Lisp. TFM is the standard font description format used by TeX. The TFM library parses and decodes TFM files into an abstract data structure, providing easy access to the corresponding font information. Get it here.

Declt 2.3 "Robert April" is out

I'm happy to announce the release of Declt 2.3. Declt is my reference manual generator for Common Lisp libraries.

The improvements and bug fixes in the last two releases are the result of running Declt against the whole Quicklisp world (around 3000 ASDF systems for 1500 libraries). See this post for more information.

New in this release:

  • Advertise file extensions in references.
  • Advertise the type of foreign definitions.
  • More robust display and indexing of, and with, lambda-lists.
  • Use UTF8 special characters to denote invisble ones.
  • More robust support for Texinfo brace escaping.
  • Handle modules sharing the same location.
  • Ensure output is done with standard IO syntax.
  • Fix potential duplication of some (non-lisp) files and document all static files.
  • Fix potential duplication of packages documentation.

From the 2.2 "Christopher Pike" release (not previously advertised):

  • Require a UTF-8 environment.
  • Understand ASDF's notion of inferred system, and also be more protective against ASDF extensions.
  • Support for improper lambda lists (e.g. destructuring ones).
  • Improve contact defaulting code.
  • Update support for SBCL's setf expanders introspection.
  • Accept ASDF system designators.
  • Various bug fixes in the areas of method combinations, accessor definition merging and setf expanders.

ASDF-FLV 2.0

I've just released version 2.0 of ASDF-FLV, my ASDF extension for supporting file-local variables (ala *PACKAGE*). The code hasn't changed, but as for my other libraries, the system and package names are now prefixed with net.didierverna. ASDF-FLV is also available on GitHub now.

The reason I'm doing this now is that at least two of my other libraries are going to use it in a mandatory way, either directly or indirectly (and in turn, that's because no implementation has bothered to implement CDR #9 yet ;-).

Declt 2.0 is out -- IMPORTANT

Declt 2.0 "Kathryn Janeway" is out. This release doesn't contain any change in functionality, yet deserves a major version upgrade since it contains 3 important changes: an infrastructure revamp (along the lines of what Clon endured not so long ago), a license switch from the GNU GPL to a BSD one, and finally a system / package name change. The prefix is now net.didierverna instead of com.dvlsoft. Do I need to apologize for this again? :-)

Declt 1.1 is released

Hello,

as promised last week, I've just released a new version of Declt, my reference manual generator for ASDF systems. This new version (1.1) is now able to document Clon again (the documentation of which has been updated on the website).

New in this release:

  • Declt now properly handles and documents complex system and component dependencies, such as :feature :require and :version statements,
  • Declt also documents a system's :if-feature if any.

But the most important addition is the ability to document several ASDF systems in the same reference manual. More precisely, Declt now documents not only the main system but also all its subsystems. A subsystem is defined as a system on which the main one depends on in any way, and which is also part of the same distribution (under the same directory tree). Declt also understands multiple system definitions from the same .asd file.

Enjoy!

Clon 1.0b24 is released -- IMPORTANT

Hello,

I'm happy to announce the release of the next beta version of Clon, the Common Lisp / Command Line Options Nuker library. This release doesn't contain much change in terms of functionality, but it contains a lot of change in terms of infrastructure, plus very important and backward-incompatible modifications. So if you're a Clon user, please read on.

First of all, a huge revamp of the library's infrastructure (package hierarchy, ASDF and Make implementations) occurred. A large portion of this work is actually not mine, but Fare's (big thanks to him, 'cause the level of ASDF expertise required just means that I couldn't have done that by myself). The purpose here was twofold: first, remove all logic from the ASDF files (so that other system managers could be used; not sure that's actually useful right now) and second, split the library in two: the core, basic functionality and the non-standard platform-dependent bells and whistles (read: termio support). The result is that Clon now comes with 4 different ASDF systems! A setup system allows you to configure some stuff prior to loading the library, a core system allows you to load only the basic functionality and the regular one loads everything, autodetecting platform-dependent features as before. The fourth system is auxiliary and not to be used by hand. All of this is properly documented. For a code maniac like me, this new infrastructure is much more satisfactory, and I've learned a lot about ASDF less known features.

Next, I've moved the repository to Github. Please update your links! It seems that I've lost all my former tags in the process, but oh well...Only the Git repo has moved. The main Clon web page still contains the full history of tarballs, the preformatted documentation, and will continue to do so in the future.

Finally (I've kept this to myself until the last possible minute because I'm scared like hell to tell): I've changed the systems and packages names... The com.dvlsoft prefix has been replaced with net.didierverna. All other libraries of mine will eventually endure the same surgery. It's for the best, I apologize for it and I swear I will never ever do that again, EVER (fingers crossed behind my back).

So what's next? Before considering an official 1.0 release, there are two things that I want to do. First, cleanup some remaining Fixmes and some shaky error handling. Second, provide an even simpler way of using Clon than what the Quick Start chapter in the doc demonstrates. The idea is to just implement a main function with keyword arguments, and those argument magically become command-line options.

A side-effect of this work is that Declt now chokes on Clon, because some ASDF features that it doesn't understand are in use. So Declt has a couple of new challenges ahead, and you should expect a new release in the weeks to come.

Declt 1.0 is out

After 15 betas, I'm happy enough with the current state of Declt to finally make a 1.0 release.

A lot of things have changed since the previous version, sometimes in a backward-incompatible way. Many more items are documented (including, as you have recently seen, method combinations). In addition to the reference manual, generated by Declt itself, there is now a real user manual.

Declt is still SBCL-only, requires ASDF 3 and Texinfo 4 but generates code that is compatible with Texinfo 5. Also, beware, I've deleted the old repository and moved the project to GitHub. Below is a more precise description of what Declt currently does.

Declt (pronounce "dec'let") is a reference manual generator for Common Lisp libraries. It works by loading an ASDF system and introspecting its contents. The generated documentation contains the description for the system itself and its components (modules and files), the packages defined in that system and the definitions found in those packages.

Exported and internal definitions are listed separately. This allows the reader to have a quick view on the library's public API. Within each section, definitions are sorted lexicographically.

In addition to ASDF system components and packages, Declt documents the following definitions: constants, special variables, symbol macros, macros, setf expanders, compiler macros, functions (including setf ones), generic functions and methods (including setf ones), method combinations, conditions, structures, classes and types.

The generated documentation includes every possible bit of information that introspecting can provide: documentation strings, lambda lists (including qualifiers and specializers where appropriate), slots (including type, allocation and initialization arguments), definition source file etc.

Every documented item provides a full set of cross-references to related items: ASDF component dependencies, parents and children, classes direct methods, super and subclasses, slot readers and writers, setf expanders access and update functions etc.

Finally, Declt produces exhaustive and multiple-entry indexes for every documented item.

Reference manuals are generated in Texinfo format (compatible, but not requiring Texinfo 5). From there it is possible to produce readable / printable output in info, HTML, PDF, DVI and PostScript with tools such as makeinfo, texi2dvi or texi2pdf.

The Declt reference manual is the primary example of documentation generated by Declt itself.

el-rcfiles is released (first public version)

I've been using this for years, but never bothered to make it public until now.

el-rcfiles is a very small and simple library which provides Unix-like RC files for Emacs Lisp libraries. It's compatible with GNU Emacs and XEmacs, available in ELPA form, as a tarball and from GitHub. More details (including download) available here, but here is also the library's commentary section, for quick reference.

;;; Commentary:

;; The purpose of el-rcfiles is to provide the equivalent of traditional
;; Unix rc files (i.e. configuration files) for Emacs Lisp
;; libraries. The advantages of using configuration files are the
;; following:
;;   - your initialization file is less bloated,
;;   - since configuration files are lazily loaded, your Emacs session
;;     is (or begins) lighter. That is unless you already use lots of
;;     EVAL-AFTER-LOAD forms...

;; Usage:

;; 1. Load the library, go to the rcfiles Custom group and tweak (or not).
;; 2. Put a call to (rcfiles-register-rc-files) in your initialization
;;    file. This function can also be called interactively anytime you
;;    add, remove or modify a configuration file.
;; 3. Put your configuration code for a library `foo' in a file called
;;    `<rcfiles-directory>/foo<rcfiles-pseudo-extension>.el'.

FiXme 4.2 is out

I'm pleased to announce that, after more than two years, I've managed to put up a very small release of FiXme (my collaborative annotations tool for LaTeX2e) in which I didn't even author the two included changes...

Keep the faith. FiXme is still alive !

New in this veresion (4.2):

** Improve Danish translation
thanks to Lars Madsen.
** Fix buglet in redefinition of \@wrindex
reported by Norman Gray.

Get it at the usual place.
