development release version 8.9.8

[Lutz]

This development release enhances 'net-eval' and other functions when working with newLISP server nodes, which now can answer HTTP GET and PUT requests.



Now 'load', 'save', 'read-file', 'write-file' and 'append-file' can all specify URLs for loading and saving programs and retrieving or storing files from and to remote server nodes via standard HTTP protocols.



Now remote nodes in a distributed computer network running newLISP in server mode can be managed completely via newLISP.
