On behalf of the developers of ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) we are happy to be able to announce the 1.0.0 release on the premises of the European Common Lisp Meeting 2011.
ABCL is a Common Lisp implementation implemented in Java and running on the Java Virtual Machine (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 implemented in Java allows for relatively easy embedding in larger applications. For integration with existing applications ABCL completely implements the "JSR 223: Java scripting API" specification.
This release delivers the last requirement for ABCL's 1.0 release milestone, namely a conforming implementation of the long form of DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION. Additionally, the abcl-contrib mechanism now supports a robust collection of contributions to ABCL beyond ANSI concerned with dynamically linking JVM artifacts at runtime, packaging ASDF system construction within jar archives, and an optional higher-level domain specific syntax called JSS (Java Syntax Sucks) for manipulating JVM libraries. Extensive testing and debugging the implementation with popular Quicklisp systems has resulted in a much more rugged and battle-tested Lisp. A draft version of the user manual is now available.
