dLISP 0.100.0 Released

I am proud to release version o.100.o of dLISP, the LISP interpreter for D.

This is still experimental software, but is used already as a scripting language for a free game under development. During the course of using dLISP in practice a laundry list of bugs were discovered and fixed - too many to list here. Also note that dLISP is not a faithfull implementation of Common Lisp, and isn't even trying - it's just another Lisp dialect.

Changelog

• Closure support. Functions now carry their own context with them.
• Constructs such as (1 2 3) are not valid any more - these shadow too many bugs.
• Ridiculously easy bindings for D classes - see iteration-zero source for example.
• Simple object model. Prototype based class hierachy. Automatic generic functions for classes exported from D.
• Partially covered by test cases now.
• Added gensym.
• Friendlier to debug complex code - built-in tracebacks.
  

Known Bugs / Missing features

• Generic function evaluation doesn't work out of the box for user defined methods.
• The ,@body syntax is not supported.
• Keyword arguments are not supported.
• Source code positions on errors are wrong.
• Tracebacks may be misleading in places.
• Missing function macro-expand.
