With a decided chill noticeable in the Northern Hemisphere, the Bear has finally sloughed off a long-needed release of ABCL.
With abcl-1.4.0, CFFI now works reliably allowing cross-platform linkage to native libraries to be initiated dynamically at runtime. Examples of using CL-CUDA to follow as their authors have time to publish.
Considerable work and testing led by Elias Pipping with contributions from Olof-Joachim Frahm has led to a reasonable basis for UIOP/RUN-PROGRAM compatibility.
We have taken the time to learn enough of Maven to publish binary artifacts for both abcl.jar and abcl-contrib.jar that allow developers everywhere to more easily incorporate the Bear into their local Java build tool chains.
And we have tentatively surrendered to the current fashion by establishing GIT bridges to the ABCL source at https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/abcl/abcl and https://github.com/easye/abclto more easily facilitate contributions from the community.

Enhancements
============
* Consolidated RUN-PROGRAM fixes (ferada, pipping)
* Upstream consolidated patchset (ferada)
** [r14857] Support `FILE-POSITION` on string streams.
** [r14859] Add multiple disassembler selector.
** [r14860] Add EXTERNAL-ONLY option to APROPOS.
