+
+Announcement
+============
+
+After 10 years of development we are proud to present a new McCLIM release 0.9.7
+"Imbolc". Due to a long time of development only major changes are listed.
+
+Compatibility
+=============
+
+This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations:
+
+ * Clozure CL 1.11
+ * Embeddable CL 16.1.3
+ * SBCL 1.3.20
+
+McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive
+readers (Allegro CL "modern mode" and lower-case Scieneer CL).
+

+* Bug fix: scrolling and viewport fixes and refactor.
+* Feature: raster image draw backend extension.
+* Feature: bezier curves extension.
+* Feature: new tests and demos in clim-examples.
+* Feature: truetype rendering is now default on clx.
+* Feature: additions to region, clipping rectangles and drawing.
+* Feature: clim-debugger and clim-listener improvmenets.
+* Feature: mop is now done with CLOSER-MOP.
+* Feature: threading is now done with BORDEAUX-THREADS.
