MKCL 1.0.0 is finally out as a stable full release! Thank you very much to all of you (you know who you are) that privately contributed to this outcome. I appreciate your support. I have high hopes that this the beginning of a very long run that will prove MKCL to be one of the most solid and stable Common Lisp environments ever. Cheers, Jean-Claude Beaudoin

[mkcl-devel] Release Candidate 7 is out!

RC7 is the happy conclusion of the performance tuning effort for version 1.0.0. With proper type annotation, MKCL can now generate near-optimal code that brings it to (and sometimes exceeds) the top of the class speed-wise on the large majority of benchmarks of cl-bench. Release Candidate 7 will from now on enter a 2 to 3 weeks probation period that will bring the 1.0.0 release process to its conclusion provided that no major new bug is reported before the end of this probation period.

[mkcl-devel] Release Candidate 6 is out!

RC6 is a significant performance tuning step for the most part. Code controlling floating-point exception handling has also been entirely reworked. The --enable-unicode option is now working again but is still off by default and remains experimental. The performance difficulties were considered serious enough to postpone the completion of the 1.0.0 release process. There will be one last release candidate (7) before final release. It will complete the performance tuning, fix a few minor issues in slime and be a general opportunity to clean-up the source code.

[mkcl-devel] Release Candidate 5 is out!

RC5 is a general upgrade of the "contrib" libraries and of the MinGW support environment included in the MS-Windows versions. A few more bugs were fixed. Short of a major bug discovery, RC5 is very likely to be the last major step before the final 1.0.0 release.

MKCL 1.0.0 Release Candidate 4 is now available. RC4 is a much stronger release candidate that RC3. You are strongly advised to upgrade to it and stop using any of RC1, RC2 and RC3. Cheers, Jean-Claude Beaudoin

RC3 brings you binary installation packages for MS-Windows, an upgrade of the included GMP to 4.3.2, and a few more bug fixes. With this, it is getting close to full release time! Cheers, Jean-Claude Beaudoin
