I fixed the abomination that was MCCLIM-IMAGES, so I think we can do a
release very soon. Since there has been so few changes as of late, a
relatively short freeze period would be preferable.

Can anyone think of a holiday we can use?

Very well. On IRC, Patriots' day (April 21) was suggested, and I think  
that should work. I would like to declare McCLIM frozen starting  
tomorrow (April 17).

Cheers,

How about April 22 "Earth Day"?

Unless the esteemed release manager can perform some convincing
timestamp forgery, I think this is a good idea.

Subject: [mcclim-devel] McCLIM 0.9.6 "St. George's Day" is released!
Message-ID: <480F25B0.7020409@common-lisp.net>

The McCLIM developers are happy to release version 0.9.6 of McCLIM,
code-named "St. George's Day".

This release includes several bug and specification compliance fixes, as 
well as improvements to the anti-aliased text drawing facility and to 
the Drei text editing substrate.

When testing this release, we found that it works on these implementations:

  * SBCL
  * CMUCL 19d
  * Clozure CL 1.2 (RC 1)
  * CLISP 2.41 (requires "Telent" CLX)
  * Allegro Common Lisp 8.1 in ANSI Mode

For compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", please see the included 
release notes.

Get the tarball at
<http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/downloads/mcclim-0.9.6.tar.gz>.
Alternatively, you can install McCLIM via asdf-install.

We are looking forward to your comments and bug reports. Please send
them to mcclim-devel at common-lisp.net. The list of currently known
bugs can be found at <http://trac.common-lisp.net/mcclim/report/1>.

Have fun using McCLIM,
The McCLIM developers.




RELEASE NOTES FOR McCLIM 0.9.6, "St. George's Day":

Compatibility
=============

This release was tested and found to work on the following
implementations:

  * SBCL
  * CMUCL 19d
  * Clozure CL 1.2 (RC 1)
  * CLISP 2.41 (requires "Telent" CLX)
  * Allegro Common Lisp 8.1 in ANSI Mode

McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive
readers (Allegro CL "modern mode" and lower-case Scieneer CL).

To run McCLIM on Mac OS X 10.5, it is currently necessary to pass
an explicit DISPLAY argument to work around incompatibility between
Leopard's X11 auto-start facility and CLX.


Changes in mcclim-0.9.6 "St. George's Day" relative to 0.9.5:
==============================================================

 From the NEWS file:
* New extension: mcclim-truetype: provides a 100% lisp path for
   AA fonts with CLX using cl-vectors and zpb-ttf, as an alternative
   to mcclim-freetype.
* Improvement: Faster drawing and AA text rendering. AA text requires
   a fix to the Xrender support of CLX, available in Christophe Rhodes's
   current CLX distribution from darcs.
* Improvement: Look up arbitrary truetype fonts by name via fontconfig.
* Drei improvements
** New redisplay engine that is faster and has more features.
** Support for "views" concept.
** Support for modes a la Emacs "mini-modes".
** Improvement: Goal-columns for line movement.
** Improvement: More Emacs-like expression movement for Lisp syntax.
** Bug fix: Input prompting now works for directly recursive calls to
    ACCEPT.
* Specification compliance: READ-BITMAP-FILE and
   MAKE-PATTERN-FROM-BITMAP-FILE from CLIM 2.2. Includes new example
   program, IMAGE-VIEWER.
* Specification compliance: The :inherit-menu keyword argument to
   DEFINE-COMMAND-TABLE and MAKE-COMMAND-TABLE is now implemented with
   CLIM 2.2 semantics. The :keystrokes value is not handled yet.
* Specification compliance: :PRINTER functions for MENU-CHOOSE are
   now called with the menu item, not the display object.
* Bug fix: ESA's help commands are better at finding bindings and
   describing them
* Bug fix: Some missing methods and functions have been implemented
   for the Null backend, allowing headless operation for many
   applications.
* Bug fix: correct computation of bounding rectangle after
    clear-output-record and recompute-extent-for-new-child.
* Bug fix: label panes no longer have a restrictive maximum width.
* Bug fix: ellipses with a zero radius no longer cause errors.
* Bug fix: bezier drawing in CLIM-FIG less likely to cause errors.
* Bug fix: restored somewhat working undo in CLIM-FIG.

ive just tried asdf-installing McClim on a fresh sbcl setup, and it 
gives a download error for cl-jpeg (package cl-jpeg, required by 
mcclim-jpeg-bitmaps). looks like there isn't the relevant page for 
cl-jpeg on cliki,  nor an asdf-installable package at common-lisp.net
