This release includes Swank 2016-03-04. The Swank server is listening on port 4005.
Forwarding for port 4005 will need to be enabled in the virtual machine's settings. In VirtualBox this is done throught the port forwarding settings, which can be accessed through Settings -> Network -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding
Trentino, a media player, has been implemented by Eugene Zaikonnikov. Further improvements to conformance, stability and performance. The CLOS implementation follows the MOP much more closely. More traditional window management. Booting from CD/USB on real hardware is now possible. Driver support for Intel HDA audio devices. VirtualBox guest (mouse & display) integration.
Many improvements to conformance, stability and performance. The editor has been greatly improved, thanks to Burton Samograd. The system now functions correctly on computers with more than 1GB of RAM. The allocator and garbage collector now make much better use of available memory, with far fewer GC cycles occuring. (ROOM T) prints more detailed information about allocated objects. Transparency and premultiplied alpha support in the GUI. And more!
A number of status lights are displayed at the top left of the screen.
