Hello everyone,
I'm pleased to release USOCKET 0.5.2, a new version of the universal socket
library for Common Lisp.
In this release, the core API function WAIT-FOR-INPUT was much improved on
SBCL, ECL, CLISP; there're some other fixes for ABCL and LispWorks. I heard,
with this release, Hunchentoot can run on ABCL now.
Major changes since 0.5.1:
* General: [SBCL] SOCKET-CONNECT's TIMEOUT argument was limited on non-Windows
platforms.
* Bugfix: [CLISP] WAIT-FOR-INPUT now functions right (with/without READY-ONLY),
this made Hunchentoot working on CLISP. (Thanks to Anton Vodonosov
<avodono...@yandex.ru>)
* Bugfix: [ABCL] Fix SOCKET-ACCEPT to follow the documented API so that when
called without an :ELEMENT-TYPE argument. (Thanks to Mark Evenson, the ABCL
developer)
* Bugfix: [LispWorks] Fixed SOCKET-ACCEPT (Windows only) on WAIT-FOR-INPUTed
sockets.
* Bugfix: [SBCL, ECL] Fixed wrongly STATE set/unset for WAIT-FOR-INPUT on
Windows (report by Elliott Slaughter)
* Enhancement: Additional NAME keyword argument for SOCKET-SERVER for setting
the server thread name.
* Enhancement: [ABCL] GET-ADDRESS now works with underlying IP6 addresses.
* Enhancement: [CLISP] missing GET-LOCAL-* methods for STREAM-SERVER-USOCKET
was now added.
We give special thanks to:
Elliott Slaughter <elliottslaugh...@gmail.com>
for his two bug reports on WAIT-FOR-INPUT (SBCL/Windows) with unit test code,
and these code are now part of USOCKET-TEST.
If you want to download this release, please checkout

The API documentation page is here:

As usual, I hope more and more people use USOCKET as part of their Lisp
applications, and any feedback - bugs or hugs - is greatly appreciated. If you
use USOCKET, please let us know what for.
And, if there's any historical issue which haven't been solved, please feel
free to remind me.
And below is a roadmap for future USOCKET releases (ignore the order):
* Add UDP (Datagram) support for Digitool MCL;
* The DFFI version of ECL backend without calling C compilers;
* New backends: Symbolics Lisp Machine, XCL and IOlib;
* New API: SOCKET-OPTION for setting/getting various socket options (already
exist in trunk (0.6))
Let me know if you have other ideas.
Regards,
Chun Tian (binghe)
