Congratulations Lutz. Looking good as always.

Aww, no jEdit?  ;)

[Lutz]

Thanks for the corrections (now online), and isn't jEdit covered by your generator?

Thanks Lutz and the community for all your contribution to newLISP!



After trying the new version, I've found some bugs??:



1. `setf` redefines `nil` if the place argument is a non-existing `assoc`:

Code Select Expand


(setf (assoc 'a '()) '(a 1))
nil   # => (a 1)

   By the way, is it possible to implicitly add an assoc if it does not exist?:

Code Select Expand


(setq L '((a 1)))  (setf (assoc 'b L) '(b 2))  L   # should return ((b 2) (a 1))
(setq L '((a 1)))  (setf (lookup 'b L) 2)  L   # should return ((b 2) (a 1))


2. It seems that `pretty-print`'s `str-fp-format` option also affects `string`:

Code Select Expand


(pretty-print 80 " " "%1.3f")
(string 1.2)   # => "1.200" instead of "1.2"


[Lutz]

Number 1. is a severe bug and I decided to retract all downloads of the new version 10.2.0, until this is fixed.



Number 2. is by design. Changing the default format in 'pretty-print' will affect all function using it, e.i. 'source' is affected too. For specific formatting use 'format'.
