Mark,
I look forward to seeing ABCL 1.3.3. I appreciate your quick response. I tend to avoid compiling my compilers from HEAD. :-)
A good practice, indeed!
I am keen on testing my code against ABCL & SBCL side by side - it will be quite gratifying if I can report they both behave identically.
Gosh, September already? We certainly could use a release.
Working through the [changes associated with the new ANSI-TEST git repository][1] last night, I noticed that the patch to add [#\No-break_space][2] seemingly fails many more tests than I would like for reasons that are a little mysterious. I'd like to figure out what occurred here, then I would be ready to cut a release.

Fortunately, Erik and I have arranged to have an informal "Burnish the Bear" day, this Friday, September 4, 2015 from 0800-1300 UTC coordinated on #abcl. The idea with such a session is to dedicate time taken out of our professional schedules to resolving long-standing ABCL issues, of which this will hopefully the first of a series. All are welcome to drop by #abcl to discuss outstanding issues, or just follow along. The main topic for this Friday was to be to look into [problems with Drama][3] that begin to show the shaky foundations that our Gray stream implementation rests upon. But we might as well cut an abcl-1.3.3 release as well during the course of the day.
