[ANN] ABCL 0.20
Alessio Stalla
lisp.net mailing list:
On behalf of the developers of ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) I'm glad
to be able to announce the 0.20.0 release.
ABCL is a Common Lisp implementation implemented in Java and running
on the JVM, featuring both an interpreter and a compiler. The compiler
targets the JVM directly meaning that its output is runnable JVM
bytecode.
The fact that ABCL is written in Java allows for relatively easy
embedding in larger applications. For integration with existing
applications ABCL implements Java Specification Request (JSR) 223:
Java scripting API.
This release is the first to include a funded feature: funds were
provided to implement the CLOS METACLASS feature and tests. Next to
that, this release contains a large number of fixes and improvements,
such as the ability to use JARs and URLs as pathnames and the a new
ASDF version (ASDF2). You can find the full release notes at:
