abcl-1.3.0 is a feature release.
15-MAR-2014
## Features
* Make LispStackFrame.UNAVAILABLE_ARG a singleton object, and lazily create the little used portions of the Lisp stack.
Aggressively cache and control the use of memory by the underlying Lisp stack frame representation by introducing the private LispThread.StackFrame and LispThread.StackSegments classes.
Contributed by Dmitry Nadezhin.
LispStackFrame object are allocated on every LispThread.execute(...) . However, they are seldom [accessed] ([... verify via] inspect[tion of the] stack trace). This patch delays allocation of LispStackFrame? objects until they are requested. Raw information about stack frames is stored in stack. Stack is an Object[] array (more precisely a list of [...]4 [Mib] Object[] arrays).
ME: We are going to need a way to try to less agressively grab 4Mib chunks in low memory situations.
Memory profiling of ABCL shows that the classes with largest allocation count are org.armedbear.lisp.LispStackFrame and org.armedbear.lisp.LispStackFrame.UnavailableArgument.

* ASDF 3.0.1.94 shipped with the implementation
* per function call stack and memory exception handler in CL:COMPILE
Inline calls to jrun-exception-protected (used by handler-bind to catch out of memory conditions). This commit saves generation roughly 50 cls files.

* SYS:SHA256 audited
The functionality if the SYS:SHA256 algorithim has been audited for use on inputs of single for files with recently shipping ORCL Java 7 implementations (through jdk-1.7.0_51).

* Connect to NetBeans controlled JDWP via SLIME
The Netbeans IDE configuration now includes a way to connect to the running-under-jdb ABCL via SLIME. One needs a version of SLIME able to be loaded from its 'swank.asd' definition.
* Install 'abcl.jar' and 'abcl-contrib.jar' locally as Maven artifacts
The Ant `abcl.mvn.install` target now installs build artifacts into the local Maven repository (Olof-Joachim Frahm)

## Compatibility
* CL:DIRECTORY
The implementation specific :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS argument to the ANSI DIRECTORY function has been changed to nil. This implements behavior closer to SBCL and guarantees that a DIRECTORY operation will not signal a file error.

## Fixes
* Fix CL:SLEEP for intervals less than a millisecond.
For intervals less than or equal to a nanosecond, including an interval of zero, the current thread merely yields execution to other threads.

## Tested
### "Java_HotSpot(TM)_64-Bit_Server_VM-Oracle_Corporation-1.7.0_51-b13" "x86_64-Mac_OS_X-10.9.1"
### "Java_HotSpot(TM)_64-Bit_Server_VM-Oracle_Corporation-1.8.0-b129" "x86_64-Mac_OS_X-10.9.2"
## Contrib
#### abcl-asdf
* Now working with both Maven 3.0.x and 3.1.x. Thanks to Anton for the help!

* cache Maven dependency resolution to avoid repeated lookups.
Instead of calling ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE in both the ASDF COMPILE-OP and LOAD-OP, we now cache the result of invocation in COMPILE-OP and add this value in the LOAD-OP phase. Contributed by Cyrus Harmon.

#### jna
Now references jna-4.0.0. Some incompatibility with CFFI ([in progress with fixing upstream][cffi-easye]).
