System 300 is nigh! It might use microcode version 323. It will run with earlier microcode versions. The System version has been increased to 300. to protect the innocent. This is mainly a bug fix release, a few old functions has been flushed, and multiple fixes have been made to make the Lisp Machine work on the Global Chaosnet and with Unix. Contents of the rest of this file: Incompatible Changes User Interface Changes Network Changes Incompatible Changes Functions that have been flushed: - TV:SHEET-X and TV:SHEET-Y: Use TV:SHEET-X-OFFSET and TV:SHEET-Y-OFFSET respectively. - ZWEI:SEARCH: Use ZWEI-SEARCH. - CHAR-UPPERCASE-P and CHAR-LOWERCASE-P: Use UPPER-CASE-P and LOWER-CASE-P respectively. User Interface Changes MAKE-SYSTEM with :BATCH or :DEFAULTED-BATCH will now default to storing the compiler warnings file with the package name. In Zmacs, C-\ is now bound to "Just One Space", and C-q is bount to "Quoted Insert". New function has been introduced to get the BOW state of the monitor (TV:GET-BOW-MODE). Support for European timezones has been added (CET/CEST and EST/EEST), to use it do: (SETQ TIME:*DAYLIGHT-SAVINGS-TIME-P-FUNCTION* 'TIME:DAYLIGHT-SAVINGS-TIME-IN-EUROPE-P) (TIME:INITIALIZE-TIMEBASE) Several fixes to have been made to work better with Unix pathnames. Network Changes The HOSTS TEXT file now lives under SYS: SITE. Several fixes have been made to Chaosnet to make sure that the Global Chaosnet network is accessible. Change the use of the :LOCAL-INTERNET-DOMAINS site variable. If a host is specified (e.g. by an unknown-host function) with one of these domains, we try to make the shortest prefix (w/o the domain) a short-name for the host. And if trying to find a host name without dots in it, search the :LOCAL-INTERNET-DOMAINS for it.
