This release improves on communication between and synchronization of threads, which where introduced in version 8.2.0 by introducing semaphores and shared memory access. Processes now can re-map their standard I/O to pipes for communicating with the parent process.
Various improvements and fixes in the area of contexts and programming with contexts. Contexts can be deleted easier and mix-ins are possible when margin contexts in prototype oriented programming. Single functions can be moved/mixed between contexts. Contexts with overwritten MAIN symbols can correctly be serialized.
Various improvements for importing shared libraries and DLLs into newLISP and for passing parameters.
