Progress report #5
Written by Daniel Kochmański on 2016-12-28 16:00
Dear Community,
During this iteration I have continued working on the tutorial, fixing the issues and assuring CLIM II specification compatibility.
The most notable change is standard-application-frame implementation
refactor which simplifies the code and moves some computation to
creation time (until now we have searched through sheet hierarchy at
each iteration of command loop and at various other occasions at
runtime).
The rest of the time was spent on peer review of the contributions, merging pull requests, development discussions, questions on IRC and other maintenance tasks.
Alessandro Serra has created a Framebuffer Backend – a working proof
of concept that McCLIM may work on top of a frame buffer. Albeit a bit
slow you may find instructions how to run it here:

A detailed report is available at:

If you have any questions, doubts or suggestions – please contact me
either by email (daniel@turtleware.eu) or on IRC (my nick is
jackdaniel).
Happy new year!
Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kochmański
