ICL 1.20.6 Release Notes

Summary

Update bundled JavaScript libraries and fix a cached image creation bug.

Changes

• Update dockview-core from 4.13.1 to 5.0.0. This major version bump adds header positioning support; all APIs used by ICL are unchanged.
• Update mermaid from 11.12.2 to 11.12.3 (patch release).
• Fix SLYNK package reader error during cached image creation. The generated eval code contained a literal slynk:create-server symbol that the reader couldn't resolve before Slynk was loaded.

Breaking Changes

None.

ICL 1.20.5 Release Notes

Summary

Bugfix release fixing a startup failure when the user's .sbclrc does not load ASDF.

Bug Fixes

• Fix UIOP package error during cached image creation when .sbclrc doesn't load ASDF. The generated Lisp code contained a literal uiop:getcwd symbol that the reader couldn't resolve before ASDF was loaded. Split (require :asdf) into a separate --eval so ASDF packages exist before the image creation code is read.

Breaking Changes

None.

ICL 1.20.0 Release Notes

Summary

This release adds self-update functionality, allowing ICL to update itself directly from GitHub releases.

New Features

• Self-update command: New icl update CLI command to check for and install updates from GitHub releases.

  • icl update - Download and install the latest version
  • icl update --check / -c - Check if an update is available without installing
  • icl update --dry-run / -n - Download the update but don't install it

• Version in help: The ICL version is now displayed in the icl --help output.

Infrastructure

• Linux tarballs: CI now produces standalone Linux tarballs (icl-VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz) for self-update support.

• macOS artifact naming: macOS release artifacts renamed from macos to darwin to match platform detection conventions (darwin-arm64, darwin-amd64).

Breaking Changes

None.

ICL 1.19.6 Release Notes

Summary

Bug fix release restoring ECL backend support and improving the ,dis command.

Bug Fixes

• Fix ECL backend startup: ECL (and potentially other Lisp implementations) failed to start because the boot script used uiop:getcwd directly. The UIOP package doesn't exist until ASDF loads, causing a reader error. Fixed by deferring the symbol lookup until runtime.

• Fix ,dis command to accept #'function syntax: The disassemble command now accepts both symbol names (,dis foo) and function designators (,dis #'foo).

Updates

• Migrate xterm.js to scoped packages: Updated from deprecated [email protected] to @xterm/[email protected] following the upstream package migration for security and maintenance.

Breaking Changes

None.

ICL 1.19.5 Release Notes

Summary

Browser improvements including horizontal scrolling in the REPL terminal, updated JavaScript dependencies, and various bug fixes.

New Features

• Horizontal scrolling in browser REPL: Long lines in the terminal no longer wrap. A horizontal scrollbar appears when content exceeds the panel width, making it easier to read wide output like tables and formatted data.

• Visualization panel title prefix: All visualization panels now display "viz: " prefix in their titles for easier identification in the panel list.

Bug Fixes

• Fix Monaco/regulex AMD loader conflict: Resolved JavaScript error "undefined missing vs/editor/editor.main" by loading Monaco editor before regulex to prevent AMD loader conflicts.

• Fix Monaco editor font loading: Added data: to Content Security Policy font-src directive to allow Monaco's embedded codicon font to load properly.

• Fix Dockview panel rendering: Switched from ESM to UMD build of Dockview to fix panel initialization issues.

• Fix ASDF system loading in backends: Added current working directory to ASDF source registry, ensuring systems can be found when using remote Slynk connections.

Updates

• JavaScript dependencies updated: Updated Dockview, xterm.js, Vega, Vega-Lite, Vega-Embed, and Mermaid to latest versions.

• Vega-Lite examples updated: Example files now use Vega-Lite v6 schema instead of deprecated v5.

Breaking Changes

None.

ICL 1.19.4 Release Notes

Summary

Bug fix release with improved error handling, dead code cleanup, and new packaging features.

Bug Fixes

• Fix ,dis command hanging on undefined symbols: The ,dis command now properly handles undefined symbols and non-function symbols by returning an error message instead of hanging indefinitely.

• Fix query-terminal-background redefinition warning: Removed duplicate function definition that caused a warning during compilation.

• Fix icl-tests.asd syntax error: Corrected misplaced closing parenthesis that broke make check.

New Features

• Bash completion for CLI options: Tab completion now works for all ICL command-line options when installed via deb/rpm packages. Includes smart completion for --lisp (implementation names), --load (Lisp files), and --connect (host:port suggestions).

• Man page: Comprehensive man page (man icl) documenting all CLI options, REPL commands, keyboard shortcuts, configuration files, and usage examples.

Code Quality

• Dead code removal: Removed ~340 lines of unused code across multiple files, improving maintainability and reducing binary size slightly.

Installation

The bash completion and man page are automatically installed when using the deb or rpm packages:
