Weblocks 0.8.1 released
=======================
Weblocks is an advanced web framework written in Common Lisp.
It is designed to make Agile web application development as
effective and simple as possible.
Weblocks uses powerful Lisp features like multiple dispatch, the
metaobject protocol, lexical closures, keyword arguments, and macros
to build abstractions that make web development easy, intuitive, and
free
of boilerplate. In addition, control flow is easily expressed using
continuations.
Things that are hard or mundane in other frameworks become easy and
fun in Weblocks.
AUDIENCE
People who want to get their real-life web programming done
as effectively as possible.
Weblocks is not only targeted at old hands but also at
newcomers to Lisp and Lisp web programming.
It offers a helpful community and code that prevents you
from shooting yourself too easily in the foot.
CHANGES
Again this release features tons of major and minor fixes
that are too numerous to list and also some enhancements
and additions.
This release strives to be backwards compatible with 0.8.
MORE INFORMATION
Platforms:
well-tested on SBCL and Clozure. Partially tested
on CMUCL, Lispworks, AllegroCL, and OpenMCL.
Official site (with detailed installation guide):

Typo on http://weblocks.viridian-project.de/features: of -> or in:
Languages without macros *of* with insufficiently advanced macros
cannot avoid large parts of code redundancy. By relying on Common Lisp
Weblocks offers the user the full power of code transformation.
Cheers,

Fixed, thanks!
That sentence is a bit unwieldy, too...
