* ~/common-lisp/ is now present by default in the source-registry, so
you don't need to configure anything if you put source code there.
* package-inferred-system combines the one-file, one-package, one-system paradigm
of quick-build and faslpath with the portability and robustness of ASDF 3.
* non-propagating-operation replaces OPERATION for operations as a base class
to inherit from for operations that do not propagate,
whereas for backward compatibility with ASDF 1 and 2,
subclasses of OPERATION implicitly propagate DOWNWARD and SIDEWAYs.
Failure to explicitly inherit from one of the explicitly propagating
or non-propagating classes will result in a WARNING for now.
* Accept strings as operation class designators in DEFSYSTEM, which
provides better integration of ASDF extensions loaded using
DEFSYSTEM-DEPENDS-ON.
* force-not now takes precedence over force, and systems named in the
*immutable-systems* set (represented as an equal hash-table) are always
forced-not, and even their .asd is not refreshed from the filesystem.
* portability is much improved, with support for the latest GCL, and
fixes for ABCL, CLISP, ECL, LispWorks, MKCL, SBCL, XCL, etc.
* bundle support was refactored, with many fixes to previously uncommon cases.
ECL support is fixed, MKCL added, with a common extension to build programs
without pulling in UIOP and with it the compiler.
image-op was added to create heap images for use with e.g. cl-launch.
load-fasl-op was renamed to load-bundle-op, fasl-op to compile-bundle-op,
binary-op to deliver-asd-op, and so forth for the monolithic- variants;
previous names remain available for backward compatibility.
* robustness: Test improvements and new tests.
Added missing dependencies in asdf.asd itself(!).
Fixes to version-satisfies (thanks to stassats), to the file-stamp cache.
Fix to regression from 3.0.2.12 whereby ASDF failed to avoid downgrading.
Many cleanups. Many explanatory updates to source code comments.
* run-program tweaked again, notably on Windows, on CLISP, and
on implementations without a native run-program. On Windows, we
punt on trying to ensure no final space is ever echo'ed by CMD.EXE " ".
* provide both "asdf" and "ASDF" to play nicer with various Lisps.
* upgrading from a sufficiently forward-compatible version (currently: 2.33)
will be less disruptive of ASDF data and enhancements in the current image:
previously loaded systems will not be cleared anymore,
variables defined with defparameter* will not be reset.
Punting on upgrades from ASDF 1 for more robust behavior.
* make is the new name for build-system, as an experimental alternative
interface to building software with ASDF — it operates with build-op,
which itself delegates to *load-system-operation* by default.
Prepare-op also delegates to *load-system-operation* on systems.
You might bind that variable to load-bundle-op instead of load-op.
* uiop much improved so as to be used with Google's build system blaze:
with-temporary-file, dump-image / restore-image, ensure-pathname,
compile-file*, with-saved-deferred-warnings.
* Added portable API to optimization settings.
* Refine detection of operating systems. os-macosx-p and os-unix-p no
longer mutually exclusive.
* asdf3.1 feature pushed, to signal the slew of significant improvements
in over a year since initial ASDF 3.0 pre-release (i.e. version 2.27).
* Substantially rewritten, updated, and expanded manual.
* TODO updated.
