Major changes like that happen less than once a year (ASDF 2 in 2010, ASDF 3 in 2013, ASDF 3.1 soon in 2014), and while backward-compatibility has always been a huge priority, improvements sometimes do mean the recommended way of using ASDF changes, for the better. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Clothes make the man.
