'now' used to return nine values; with the latest release it returns ten; I think the 10th value = (nth 9 (now)) is the number of minutes west of Greenwich -- nothing broken here but rev 6 manual doesn't mention this
here the broken part ...
(now) --> (2004 1 4 21 15 45 ...)
(now -7) --> (2004 1 4 14 15 45 ...) = correct = -7 is hour offset
(now -7) --> (2004 1 4 21 8 45 ...) = wrong = treating -7 as minute offset
rev 6 manual still refers to offset in hours; maybe its minutes now?
'now' is broken?

It's minutes and the 7.4.5 manual say it so.

Things will calm down after the 7.5 release later this month. Until 7.5 only bugs are fixed, no new features or lisp code breaking changes. At least until the middle of 2004, I don't have too much time for newLISP anyway, have to look for contracts and earn some money ;-) after the release of 7.5. Of course I will always take care of bugfixes in a matter of days if possible, and answer questions on this forum.

>Thanks Lutz for all the great work and time you've been spending on newlisp
I want also thank Lutz for his great work.
And I understand his real world problems. Christmas holidays are over and we are back in real world. Have also to work on other problems in the office now. But thanks Lutz, a small piece of newLISP has crepped into the real world and make work a bit easier and more fun. Maybe this will grow.
>have to look for contracts and earn some money
Just for the interest.
What sort of contracts are you looking for. Do you newLISP related work? Is newLISP just your own research project or do/have you place it in real world projects?
