[femlisp-user] Femlisp-0.9.8

[Nicolas Neuss]

Hello,

a new Femlisp version is available.  Below is the relevant excerpt from
the CHANGES file.

Yours,
Nicolas.

* From Femlisp-0.9.7 to Femlisp-0.9.8:

The Femlisp test suite is now run every night with Allegro CL, CMUCL, and
SBCL.

ECL now can compile Femlisp.  Many thanks to Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll for
his help.  Unfortunately, the performance of the Femlisp/ECL is still
abysmal.

Removed uses of DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO in @path{iteration;multigrid.lisp}
because, first, GCL does not have it yet, and second, it lead to somewhat
obscure code.

Mario Mommer contributed a change which makes Femlisp loadable with ASDF.

Coefficient functions may depend on other finite element functions now.
This is used also for nonlinear time-dependent problems for incorporating a
dependency on the solution from the old timestep.

Introduced a demo and a test for solving the heat equation.

Some changes in several files for making ECL and GCL run with Femlisp.
Especially, a trivial asdf replacement is now available as
@path{external/trivial-asdf.lisp}, since standard asdf did not work with
GCL.

Removed the dependency on UFFI introduced in Femlisp-0.9.7.
