newLISP release version 8.7.1

[Lutz]

This is a bug fix release for a critical error which was introduced in v. 8.2.4. The bug prevented a list created with (push ... -1) to be appended with (push ... -1) in a copy of that list.



See http://newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Downloads">http://newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Downloads for files

And now compiled with -O1 flag on MINGW!

Aha! Why is that? The resulting binary is smaller now, I see... :-)



During this week I'll prepare new installpackages for Slackware and Tru64, since this is an important bugfix release.

I just updated my Arch Linux package and build script.

The newLisp 8.7.1 package for Slackware 10 was accepted by Linuxpackages.net with an acceptance grade of 3 ("Excellent').

Finally I had the possibility to update this package for Tru64Unix.



The newLisp 8.7.1 can be downloaded from this website:

Also all needed files to create the package can be found here. I have compiled with the readline library enabled, so the usage of newLisp in Tru64Unix has become even more convenient. As the readline library is not installed by default on Tru64Unix, it has been linked statically with the binary.



A slightly modified makefile was posted also, to show how to compile newLisp with readline support.
