    The CMUCL project is pleased to announce the release of CMUCL 21c.
    
    5
    This is a major release which contains numerous enhancements and bug
    
    6
    fixes from the 21a release.

    CMUCL is a free, high performance implementation of the Common Lisp
    
    9
    programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. It
    
    10
    mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CMUCL provides a
    
    11
    sophisticated native code compiler; a powerful foreign function
    
    12
    interface; an implementation of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System,
    
    13
    which includes multi-methods and a meta-object protocol; a
    
    14
    source-level debugger and code profiler; and an Emacs-like editor
    
    15
    implemented in Common Lisp. CMUCL is maintained by a team of
    
    16
    volunteers collaborating over the Internet, and is mostly in the
    
    17
    public domain.
