abcl-1.3.3 released

In anticipation of the coming season, we have released abcl-1.3.3

Version 1.3.3
=============
http://abcl.org/svn/tags/1.3.3/
18-SEP-2015

Enhancements
------------

*  [r14802,r14813] Add character name for non-breaking space

   Use a human readable name for character 160, #\No-break_space,
   following sbcl, ccl and clisp. This permits the Quicklisp system
   spinneret to load.  The #\No-break_space name is a valid
   CHAR-NAME/NAME-CHAR pair, but is emitted directly as a glyph wrt. the
   current output encoding under the CL:FORMAT "~:c" directive as
   these implementations do by default.

   Thanks to Javier Olaechea.

Fixes
-----

* [r14808] CL:FILE-WRITE-DATE fixed for logical pathnames

* ANSI-TEST

** Update references to new git repository https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/ansi-test/ansi-test
  

** ABCL now runs the git master consolidated ANSI-TEST suite which
   features subdirectories and distinquished value for
   *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*.

** ABCL.TEST.ANSI:CLEAN-TESTS now acts recursively via appropiate
   Pathname wildcards to match new directory structure.

* ASDF

  Fix COMPILE-SYSTEM to offer full ANSI environment for ASDF and
  ABCL-CONTRIB.

* ABCL-ASDF

** Use of Maven has been robustified.

*** [r14803] Fix usage with all known versions through maven-3.3.3

   Addresses http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/390

*** [r14806] Fix usage with specifying local Maven repository

** More complete attempt at re-initialization via

        (ABCL-ASDF:INIT :force t)

abcl-1.3.2 released

While basking in the lovely London weather and thoroughly enjoying last week's 8th European Lisp Symposium, the Bear managed to slough off a much needed spring cleaning maintenance release in the form of abcl-1.3.2.
