I have some kind of phone interview thing tomorrow morning, so I really should be asleep right now. But

• Small SLIME hackage so that the SBCL backend also works with Helmut's new code for choosing from a list when multiple definitions of a function are found. Right now this works for generic functions: M-. one of them and you get a list of all the methods

• Better support for conditional GET in Araneida. Now when you call request-send-headers it returns the HTTP response code it sent, and when you call it with a sensible :last-modified argument and :conditional t, it may turn your 200 response into a 304. In which case, you get to go home early without having to do that tedious database query.

• Using which, I managed to straighten out the conditional GET in Stargreen a little. Stargreen is an Araneida application but a very old one in parts - possibly dating right back to the time before Araneida was so named - and it uses bits of the system that I've forgotten exist and I strongly suspect nobody else has ever dared try.
