Fixes a bug in the build of the library that prevents it from being startable in MacOSX 10.4. Users planning on upgrading from 10.3 to 10.4 are recommended to update to the latest set of Allegro patches before performing the OS upgrade.

Users installing for the first time on 10.4, or who upgraded to 10.4 before updating to the latest patches will need to do the following:

• Install Allegro CL 6.2 from the installation media. At this point lisp is unlikely to start or work properly.
• Download
  • macosx/libacli623.dylib
  • macosx/libacl623.dylib

  The above shared library files should be copied into the Allegro directory.

• run update.sh
• Start lisp
• Eval (sys:update-allegro) to download patches.
• Exit lisp.
• Run update.sh again to complete patch installation.
• You're done! Lisp should now be completely updated and usable on Mac OS X 10.4

The argument specification for md5-update has been enhanced to allow you to operate on a subsequence of the input string/array and to allow you to specify the external format to be used when a string is provided as input. See the updated documentation for md5-update for details.

The argument specification for md5-final has been enhanced. A new 'return' keyword argument now allows the user to specify the desired representation (integer, usb8, or hexidecimal string) of the md5 hash digest to be returned. See the updated documentation for md5-final for details. Note that this patch supersedes a prior patch which added a usb8-result keyword argument to md5-final. This patch removes that keyword argument in favor of the new 'return' keyword argument.

The argument specification for md5-string has been enhanced. A new 'return' keyword argument now allows the user to specify the desired representation of the md5 hash digest to be returned. See the prior paragraph and the updated documentation for md5-string for details.

The argument specification for md5-file has also been enhanced to include the new 'return' keyword argument. See the updated documentation for md5-file for details.

• Adds a SAX callback for comments
• Add more flags to control parser
• Improve performance
• Allow an instance to be passed to sax-parse-* routines
• Signal an error for CDATA inside element-only content

Add usb8-result keyword argument to md5-final and md5-string, which allows the MD5 digest to be returned in an (unsigned-byte 8) array format:

   Example:

   (md5-string "foo" :usb8-result t)
   => #(172 189 24 219 76 194 248 92 237 239 ...)

This patch update to the Soap module provides the following:

• Generate a WSDL file from the Lisp definition of a service.
• Examine the namespace configuration in a WSDL file and choose a namespace-to-package mapping.

• We can now parse and generate interfaces for 149 of 157 RPC definitions on xmethods.com
• Summary information in generated client or server file.
• soap-message-cllient can now specify a proxy.

The updated SOAP documentation is available here.

Initial release of a SAX API for Allegro CL.

See the SAX documentation for more information.

Adds a new command line argument, +<number>, which is ignored on Windows 9x, but on Windows NT or later (2000/XP/Server 2003) will set the maximum size of the console's edit control to <number> characters, with the "shrinkage factor" set to 15% of <number>. The shrinkage factor is the amount that the edit control will shrink by when the max is reached.

<number> is base 10 and must be >= 2000.

The default max on 9x is the same as before, 25000 bytes. The default max on NT or later is 100,000.

Makes the fasl file loader more robust in the face of loading unintended patch files. An example of this might be if a code/syscall.001 were mistakenly posted instead of code/syscall.fasl.

Also, on Windows only, adds the following delivery command-line options:

• +N appname -- use 'appname' instead of 'Lisp' in the tray menus.
• +Cx -- disable the exit button on the console
• +Tx -- disable the exit menus in the tray
• +Ti -- remove the "Interrupt ..." tray menu item
