ABCL 0.19.1 released

On behalf of the developers of ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) I'm glad to be able to announce the 0.19.1 release. Version 0.19.0 was never released.

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 Java Specification Request (JSR) 223: Java scripting API.


This release features - among lots of other things - a fix for unbinding PROGV bound variables upon exiting the PROGV scope and a much improved integration of access to filenames specified by URLs. You can find the full release notes at:
