Against the falling canvas of 2019, the Bear has freely thrust [ABCL 1.6.0][abcl.org/releases] onto the [world stage][github].
This release fully supports building and running on Java 6, 7, 8, and 11 via the [openjdk runtimes][adoptjdk]. By [building from our source][source-build], it is [rumored that the User may utilize additional hosting platforms such as Java 13][sfp-mail].
Support for Microsoft Windows platforms has not been thoroughly tested at this point but we intend to add it our automatic cloud based build in the process of releasing a [stablizing ABCL 1.6.1][1.6.1] build due by the end of this year.
Thanks to all past, present, and future contributors to the Bear; here's to [hackin' our way out of the prison of the Java language][jss] for over a decade.
