On behalf of the developers of ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) I'm glad to be able to announce the 0.27.0 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 JSR 223: Java scripting API.
This release features - among other things - wider compatibility for Quicklisp encapsulated systems basedon reports for problems with ABCL: fixes for PARENSCRIPT, NAMED-READTABLES and CL-INTERPOL (CL-UNICODE fix). Additionally, ABCL has regained the ability to build SBCL. The release notes can be found at:
