MCL 6 release notes #45

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
MCL 6 (currently found in MCLIDE bundle contents) does not seem to have any 
release notes.  It seems unclear what has changed beyond presumably adding 
backtrace-fatality-patch.lisp from "ccl:Patches 6.0;" and the "Mods" directory 
contents (see ccl:Mods;mcl6.lisp). I.e. being integrated into the MCL image 
(Info version: 5.2b6).

Checking today (12Dec2011) for the latest and commended version of MCL 
(presumably the last now that Lion is out and Rosetta is not supported), I 
installed the version that is within the MCLIDE 1.0b4 bundle. It seems still to 
be MCL 5.2b6, so I'll assume MCL 5.2b6 = MCL 6. (the Get Info dialog shows it 
as version 5.2b6, but it boots up as Macintosh Common Lisp Version 
6.0-ec3bbf18dc).

This can be copied out of MCLIDE-1 to stand alone as a valid MCL environment 
and API. It seems to run OK under MacOS 10.6.8 (with rosetta of course) on 
MacIntel. It can be driven from MCLIDE-1 or MCLIDE-2.

For those with legacy code that will only run on MCL, a solution might be to 
use a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard as host, and MCLIDE-2 as interface and API on 
MacOS Lion.
