MKCL 1.1.0, is now available for general use. Changes from MKCL 1.1.0 RC4 were: 1) An ABORT restart has been added at the top of each lisp thread to be used as a default target by (abort). Typically invocation of that restart will result in an unwinding of the thread's stack up to its root followed by an orderly final wrap-up of the thread. The only exceptions to this behavior are MKCL standard daemon threads that will then return to their wait point instead of wrapping up. 2) A problem has been identified in the RC4 update of the SLIME bundled version with respect to the transmission of non-ascii characters between Emacs and the Swank server. The problem has been fixed in this version. On to MKCL 1.2.0, which will include new features and new platforms. Enjoy, Jean-Claude Beaudoin
