1. ““Furthermore, during the pendency of this appeal the Uniform [sic] Code of Corrections, (ch. 38, § 1001 et seq.) has become effective. Defendant is entitled to have her conviction reviewed in light of its provisions and have consideration given to receipt of punishment as provided by its provisions. [Citations.] In addition to reiterating the factors provided in ch. 38, § 117 — 1 which has now been repealed, it provides alternatives which were not available to the trial court at the time of sentencing (ch. 38, § 1005— 5 — 3), if the court is of the opinion that a sentence of probation supervision is not appropriate. (Ch. 38, § 1005 — 6—1.) It also provides for a system of periodic imprisonment to permit a defendant to attend to family needs. (Ch. 38, § 1005 — 7—1.) We cannot say that a disposition other than that imposed would be inconsistent with the ends of justice. For these reasons we affirm the conviction, but reverse and set aside the sentence and remand this cause for sentencing under the provisions of the Uniform [sic] Code of Corrections.””
