Notice: slime-v2.28 is not compatible and causes slimv to appear to hang after trying to print a string about slimv HOT 5 OPEN

Thank you for your detailed bug report. I narrowed down the issue to this change in slime: slime/slime@78ad57b
It seems that they modified the :write-string logic in slime so that it now requires a :write-done message after each (?) :write-string.
I'll check how can I update slimv accordingly.

I made a fix in commit 55d1355
Please check it.

Later on I'm going to refresh the swank embedded in slimv to version 2.28.

Thanks for such a fast resolution, I can confirm that it no longer hangs. There are now noticeable delays in output (presumably from having to do the message sends?) so that I'll keep my older slime loaded first for now, but that's better than breaking. (In particular there's a delay before the final NIL in a format, but also before the package return from quickload. There's also a significant delay if quicklisp has to download something first, as there's quite a bit of output and its "progress bar" of equal signs becomes choppy.)

Yeah, I have also noticed this delay. And there seems to be another issue, at least on my system. If I evaluate this s-expression, then it prints much more numbers than expected:

(dotimes (g 10)
  (print g)
  (sleep 1.0))

I'm a little bit clueless, because in emacs it works as intended: sending a :write-string for each number after getting the :write-done (0 1 2 3 4 ...). However in vim it keeps sending the partial list of numbers from 0 to N upon getting the :write-done (0 0 1 0 1 2 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 ...).

Could you please check it on your system with the newest swank version (if you still have it)?

Here's what I'm seeing (changing the print to prin1): 000101012012012301230123401234012345012345012345601234560123456701234567012345678012345678012345678901234567890123456789
Additionally I'm able to trigger different output if I go back to insert mode before it's done printing and do something like pressing space to show the arguments for a function or tab-completing a symbol.
