Dear Lisp Implementation Developers and Maintainers, Today we release ASDF 3.3.6, the sixth bugfix release for the 3.3 release series, and -- it is devoutly to be hoped -- the final one. We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of ASDF -- and especially those bund

I have discovered that Stas Bokuraev is continuing to refuse to update Edi packages to modern ASDF system-naming. This would not be bad in and of itself, because these are open source systems, and they can be forked. What *is* bad is that he has publicly stated that he is doing this hoping t

Please consider upgrading the version you are distributing with your implementation. Note that this is strictly a bug fix release so should not cause issues in upgrading. But "should" -- software is unpredictable. Announcement email follows. Best, R Today we release ASDF 3.3.5, the fifth bu

Thank you very much for these, Marius. I will look into fixing them directly. One question - do I need to check for ECL version number when requiring sockets in the test? I.e., to I need to test with `:rt` in older versions and `:sockets` in newer? Or will `:sockets` work in older versions o
