As far as I can tell cells 2.0 is not linked from cliki, although it
is from the homepage. In any case, it is really old. The latest
original version is in CVS and is marked as 3.0. I believe it has
improved data integrity for certain cases (well, according to
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/msg/c0afdb359ffed6a7 in
this case "has improved" means "adds" but supposedly it usually works
anyway).

My branch of Cells themselves is just a number of cosmetic fixes for
Cells 3.0 (well, as it is in CVS it doesn't work on anything except
Lispworks, but those are cosmetic-level changes anyway). The commit
list is here: http://github.com/Ramarren/cells/commits/master , mostly
it make SBCL emit less warnings and improves support for other
implementations.
