ChangeLog

4.2.2 (2026-10-20)

Fixed

• Restoring the Qlot environment from cache broke with Qlot >= 1.8.0.

These Qlot versions keep sources in ~/.cache/qlot/ and only put symlinks into .qlot/. We don't cache that directory, so on a cache hit .qlot/ was full of dangling symlinks and the first ql:quickload failed with "Can't create directory ..., a file with the same name already exists". Now action caches ~/.cache/qlot/ together with .qlot/. Like ~/.cache/common-lisp/, this covers the default Unix location only: on Windows or with QLOT_CACHE_DIRECTORY set, Qlot keeps its cache elsewhere.

The cache key suffix was changed, so broken caches created by previous versions will not be reused. * Removed a stray path: | line from the default list of Qlot cache paths.

4.2.1 (2024-12-15)

Fixed the way how we set dynamic-space-size.

4.2.0 (2024-12-14)

Input variable dynamic-space-size was added. It can be used to default set memory size for SBCL.

4.1.0 (2024-05-17)

Added

• Input argument qlot-no-deps was added.

Make Qlot ignore asd files and their dependencies.

This this might be useful in rare cases when your project contains a non-readable asd files such as templates.

4.0.5 (2024-04-19)

Fixed

• Extended test matrix with macos-14 runner.

• Fixed Roswell cache paths for macos-14 runner.

• Extended qlot cache key with runner architecture.

4.0.4 (2024-04-18)

Fixed

• Cache key was extended with runner architecture. Thanks for the contribution to Ákos Kiss!

4.0.3 (2024-03-12)

Fixed

• There was an error when action suceeded, but actually failed trying to load my quicklisp fix for package inferred systems. A code to load this fix used :HOME as a pathname component which is not supported by some CL implementations. Actually, I've already fixed this issue in 3.1.0 version, but somehow this fix was lost. Also, a handler-bind wrapper around the loader was added and now action's tests will fail in case of any errors.

4.0.2 (2024-02-27)

Fixed

• Fix recreating of qlfile inside qlot environment cache.

When some jobs used qlfile-template argument + caching, a template application result was cached and caused an error during the next run.

4.0.1 (2024-02-25)

Fixed

• Fixed loading of quicklisp-osx-fix. Previously the script made unnecessary output and when you had a qlfile template in your workflow this output leaked into qlfile broking following qlot install.

4.0.0 (2024-02-24)

Changed

• Internal cache mechanism was added. Now action caches Roswell and Qlot files to speed up reruns. For example, without cache action could be executed about 4 minutes, and with cache it runs only 20 seconds on Ubuntu or 1 minute on Windows.

• A new input variable cache was added to control caching beheviour. It is true by default, but you can switch it to false to turn caching off.

3.2.0 (2024-01-30)

Changed

• Now action uses bash -xeo pipefail for running Roswell install script. This way, in case of some errors inside the script, it will be interrupted immediately.

• Also, we don't attempt to set ROSWELL_INSTALL_DIR env variable anymore, because despite it's presence, Roswell was installed into /mingw64/bin/ instead under Windows and it works well (at least for me).

• Now we don't add action's directory to the PATH using modification of GITHUB_PATH variable. This prevents modification of the PATH of a workflow called the action.

Fixed

• Fixed running of test.ros script under Windows.

3.1.0 (2024-01-27)

Changed

• Switched from Roswell v21.10.14.111 to v23.10.14.114.

• Now action checks if it is really installed requested Lisp implementation.

• A list of supported implementation was added to the documentation.

• Some implementation supported by Roswell, have problems. If you need them, please, contribute the fix either to this action or to the Roswell itself.

Fixed

• Now all steps fail-fast on the first encountered error. Previously some step might be failed, but action's execution was considered success.

• Fixed Quicklisp fix activation for lisp implementations which are not support :HOME as part of the pathname.

3.0.0 (2023-12-14)

Now action uses a fix for Quicklisp client which makes it possible to load package inferred ASDF systems by name of the subsystem.

2.1.0 (2022-11-10)

Moved to newer action msys2/setup-msys2@2.14.2 where a warning about stale Node.js version is fixed.

2.0.0 (2021-10-28)

New

• Add Windows support.

Breaking changes

Now instead of latest version of ASDF, Roswell and Qlot we pin versions which known to work in supported environments.

If you want latest version, pass "latest" as value of "asdf-version", "roswell-version" or "qlot-version".

Currently these versions are used:

• ASDF: 3.3.5.3

• Roswell: v21.10.14.111

• Qlot: 0.11.5

Thanks for these changes to Matteo Landi!

1.1.2 (2021-09-19)

Move from Qlot 0.11.1 to 0.11.5.

1.1.1 (2021-09-12)

Version of qlot was fixed on 0.11.1, because later versions are broken and unable to install systems from the GitHub. See issue #118.

1.1.0 (2021-06-06)

Added a new input variable asdf-version. By default, the latest ASDF will be used.

1.0.2 (2021-04-04)

Fixed installation of libcurl4-openssl-dev on Ubuntu Focal.

1.0.1 (2021-02-22)

Fixed error when there is no qlfile in the repository.

1.0.0 (2021-01-07)

Initial version.
