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
