These Cookbook improvements were made available by 13 contributors since last release, in March.

Thanks to @johanwiden (a first time contributor, even), the EPUB and PDF got great readability improvements:

  • the EPUB can be read in Emacs' nov.el reader
  • internal links now work
  • tables where changed from markdown to html tables
  • many fixes while generating the EPUB
  • more typos and grammar fixes

Moreover:

  • files and directories:
    • added how to set the current working directory with UIOP
    • new "Create pathname components" section
  • scripting:
    • build a standalone binary with Deploy (and handle foreign libraries such as libssl, deal with ASDF etc)
    • mention SBCL 2.2.6 zstd core compression gains
  • getting started: mention rlwrap -c trick to autocomplete file names
  • iteration: mention iterate's in-sequence
  • Emacs: better example of Emacs' C-u M-( command
  • web: improve Systemd section
  • add favicon
  • fixed an example that was using load instead of asdf:load-asd
  • a missing Lem screenshot to show it in action as a Lisp REPL in the terminal was added:

You can pay what you want for the Common Lisp Cookbook on ko-fi.
