JACOL / News: Recent posts

Jacol 0.33 is now available. This is a very minor update which fixes a problem compiling the md5 module with clisp 2.29 and higher.

This is a maintenance release of Jacol that deals primarily with cleaning up the installation process. It now uses autoconf and a Makefile that wraps the lisp-based installer, which greatly simplifies the install process.

Jacol is a framework for bidirectional Java and Common Lisp interoperability.

This release fixes a couple of bugs: one dealing with calls to Java from Lisp to methods with multiple parameters, and another having to do with loading Java classes that are in external packages. Also added an option to jacolsh for specifying a remote port, which allows jacolsh scripts to execute inside existing jacol processes.

Jacol (Java and Common Lisp) version 0.20 is now available. The significant change in this release is a (transparent) authentication system that prevents exploitation for remote command execution. The project status is now beta.

JACOL provides interoperability between Common Lisp (CLISP 2.27) and Java (JDK 1.2 and higher). Please see the release notes for some limitations with this initial version.
