USerial — v0.4.2011.04.11 April 12th, 2011
Patrick Stein

Made an addition to the USerial library to support logging of binary messages (so far only cl-log supported).

(serialize-log :log-category :uint32 uint-to-log :string "string to log" ...)

Here is the latest tarball: userial_0.4.2011.04.11.tar.gz and its signature: userial_0.4.2011.04.11.tar.gz.asc.

CL-FFT v1.4.2011.03.24 released March 24th, 2011

Elliott Johnson provided me with some patches for my CL-FFT library so that it will work with Allegro modern mode (mlisp).

Thank you!

USerial Library — v0.3.2011.03.05 March 4th, 2011
Patrick Stein

I have released a new version of my serialization library. I hope no one has dug in too far on using it yet because I rearranged the interface a fair bit in this release. To accommodate more complex serializers and unserializers as well as supporting a with-buffer macro, the buffer is no longer the first argument to the serialize and unserialize methods. Now, it is a &key argument to the serialize and unserialize generics. Further, the serialize and unserialize generics also &allow-other-keys.

In an intervening and unannounced release, I added serializers for slots and accessors.

In this release, I have also really fleshed out the documentation and examples.

For instructions on obtaining and using the USerial library, please refer to the USerial library web page.

Edit: This had been v0.3.2011.03.04, but I made a minor update to add MIT License and correct a few glitches in the docs. Now, it’s v0.3.2011.03.05.

USerial Library — v0.1.2010.12.26 December 27th, 2010

I am putting together a networking library atop usocket for use in a multiplayer Lisp game. So far, I have implemented a library for serializing data into a byte buffer.

Here is a simple example of serializing some things into a buffer:

(make-enum-serializer :opcode (:login :run :jump :logout))
(make-bitfield-serializer :login-flags (:hidden :stay-logged-in))

(serialize* (:opcode :login
             :uint32 sequence-number
             :login-flags '(:hidden)
             :string login-name
             :string password) buffer)

You can unserialize those bits into existing places:

(let (opcode sequence-number flags login-name password)
  (unserialize* (:opcode opcode
                 :uint32 sequence-number
                 :login-flags flags
                 :string login-name
                 :string password) buffer)
  ...)

You can unserialize them into newly-created variables for use within a body:

(unserialize-let* (:opcode opcode
                   :uint32 sequence-number
                   :login-flags flags
                   :string login-name
                   :string password) buffer
  ...)

Or, you can unserialize them into a list:

(let ((parts (unserialize-list* (:opcode
                                 :uint32
                                 :login-flags
                                 :string
                                 :string) buffer)))
  ...)

You can find out more about the serialization library on my unet page.

CL-Growl patched for CCL April 29th, 2010
Patrick Stein

Alexandre Paes submitted a patch for my CL-Growl library so it now works with CCL (aka. Clozure, formerly OpenMCL), too.

Here is the source tarball: cl-growl_1.1.2010.04.29.tar.gz and the corresponding GPG signature: cl-growl_1.1.2010.04.29.tar.gz.asc. For other ways to access this code, see the CL-Growl page.

Thank you, Alex!
