Thanks to everyone who is doing testing. We'll take the feedback
from these runs and clean things up a bit before asking for another
round of testing. I think we'll accelerate the 0.6.1 release so
there is a definite target to test for. The remaining features:
Serializer efficiency improvement (SQL & BDB)
Native 64-bit support
Simplify multi-threading and multi-store operations
Ensure migration works between 0.6.0 and 0.6.1
I'm hoping to be ready with an alpha by the first week of february.
Anyone who wants to help with testing in the meantime just keep an
eye on the list, I'll announce features as they appear ready for a
broader testing. Anyone who wants to help with a feature, just let
me know so we can coordinate our efforts.
For the serializer, I think that Robert and I are most of the way
there. Code reviews and comments are fine, but hold off until next
week.

This creates an error:

don't know whether it is the correct selection
Then:
Compilation aborted due to error between functions:
Package SB-KERNEL not found.
when compiling this:
;; A non-back-compatible change was made in SBCL 8 moving to SBCL 9,
;; in that the function copy-from-system-area disappeared.

(defun new-style-copy-p ()

I then commented out all forms depending on

;#-#.(elephant-memutil::new-style-copy-p)

No idea what to do.
3. I was able to use elephant 6.0 with ACL 7 trial
wherein I used cygwin to produce the dll s, and I copied the dll,
with a newer date than the source, into the
directory with binaries to prevent recompilation started with run-
shell-command from asdf, which does not seem
to work on windows.
This is the script for libmemutil.dll:
gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows -std=c99 -c libmemutil.c
dlltool -z libmeutil.def --export-all-symbols -e exports.o -l
libmemutil.lib libmemutil.o
gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -mwindows libmemutil.o exports.o -o
libmemutil.dll
And this is the script for libsleepycat.dll:
gcc -mno-cygwin -mwindows -c -Wall -std=c99 -L/c/DB/Berkeley\ DB\
4.4.20/lib/ -I/c/DB/Berkeley\ DB\ 4.4.20/include/ libsleepycat.c
dlltool -z libsleepycat.def --export-all-symbols -e exports.o -l
libsleepycat.lib libsleepycat.o
gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -mwindows -L/c/DB/Berkeley\ DB\ 4.4.20/bin/
-llibdb44 libsleepycat.o exports.o -o libsleepycat.dll
(I don't know how to use variables in shell scripts)
4. I will try again
