Next: release note r6, Up: release note
There's a new file cffi-additions.lisp. It contains some stuff that was defined in cffi-grovel.lisp but never used there. It also contains code to detect the presence and version of glibc, for writing portable code.
Jolby from #lisp contributed code that fixed a problem with
strerror() under glibc 2.3.2, as well as fixing a general bug
in defforeign. This release incorporates it, conditionalized by a
feature-specific test.
The basic sockets functions have all been tested and found to work when used in a low-level way. No higher-level code for them is actually in this release.
