-
- The ``omega'' release is 15e dated Feb 25, 1992.
- The ``beta'' release is 16e dated Aug 5, 1992.
- [We also have an internal alpha release, but you don't to know about
- that. Some days I wish I didn't. :-) ]
-
- For details as to what is in each release, pick up the files:
-
- omega-release-notes.txt
- beta-release-notes.txt
-
- from our release area:
-
- /afs/cs/project/clisp/release/
-
- For those without access to AFS, you can use anonymous ftp to one of
- the following machines:
-
- lisp-rt1.slisp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.217.9]
- lisp-rt2.slisp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.217.10]
- ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173]

- > 2. Should non-Sun users update from 16d to 16e?
-
- Depends on whether or not you want/need the bug fixes/improvements to
- be found in 16e. Check out the beta-release-notes for details as to
- what they are.
-
- > 3. When is the newest version due? Major Revisions?
-
- Currently, we don't have any hard plans for the next release. We are
- trying to get some of the PCL problems worked out, and when we do we
- will probably put out a 16f that includes them and whatever other
- random bug fixes we think are stable enough.
-
- It will probably be a while before a version 17 based release sees the
- light of day.

-
- We post information about new releases to this newgroup. Queries and
- bug reports can be sent to cmucl-bugs@cs.cmu.edu.
