+ * New features:
+ * Most importantly, encodings.
+ ASDF now lets you specify an :encoding for a system, module or component,
+ that is used when loading or compiling Lisp files. See the documentation.
+ By default, the only useful value is :utf-8, and
+ we recommend you use UTF-8 everywhere.
+ We intend to make UTF-8 the default in the future
+ (current default is the legacy behavior of using whichever implicit
+ default your underlying implementation is currently configured to use).
+ An extension asdf-encodings is available that supports more encodings,
+ including autodetection of encoding from either emacs-style declaration
+ -*- Mode: Lisp ; coding: utf-8 -*- or content.
+ * require-system works like load-system, but won't try to load or update
+ systems that have already been loaded, as listed by loaded-systems.
+ More generally, you can specify a list of systems as :force-not argument
+ to load-system and the specified systems won't be loaded or updated.
+ * You can specify :force-not and a list of systems when loading a system,
+ * You can now specify :hostname in your asdf-output-translations,
+ so you can easily share a home directory via the network
+ yet split its fasl cache between several subtly different machines.
+ * Bug Fixes:
+ * lp#982285. since 2.014.4, the default source-registry
+ was skipping anything from /usr or XDG_DATA_DIRS,
+ because of a missing test in getenv-absolute-pathnames. Fixed in .15.
+ * In 2.019.9 aka 2.20, ECL support was broken by using
+ a function in the wrong package (defined in cl-user). Fixed in .1.
+ * logical-pathname support was somewhat broken since 2.017.6,
+ due to the way most implementations fail to read physical namestrings
+ when *default-pathname-defaults* is a logical-pathname.
+ Fixed, together with other logical-pathname issues,
+ and a test case was added to the test suite to ensure no further regression.
+ Works great modulo quirks around implementation bugs on CLISP and Allegro.
+ * Make upgrading ASDF more robust on CMUCL, LispWorks, SBCL.
+ * Minor tweaks:
+ * Use :unspecific in pathname components on more implementations.
+ * export and/or document more utilities.
+ * add a few missing compatfmt for Genera.

ASDF provides three commands for the most common system operations:
@code{load-system}, @code{compile-system} or @code{test-system}.

for defining @emph{operations} on @emph{components},

Using the @code{*encoding-detection-hook*} it will also
eventually implement some autodetection of a file's encoding
-from an emacs-style @code{-*- coding: latin1 -*-} declaration,
+from an emacs-style @code{-*- mode: lisp ; coding: latin1 -*-} declaration,
or otherwise based on an analysis of octet patterns in the file.
At this point, asdf-encoding only supports the encodings
that are supported as part of your implementation.
A survey showed only about a handful few libraries
are incompatible with non-UTF-8, and then, only in comments,
and we believe that authors will adopt UTF-8 when prompted.

For backwards compatibility with users who insist on a non-UTF-8 encoding,
