ABCL 1.6.1 Springs Forth

As augured, the Bear is pleased to join fellow open ANSI Common Lisp implementations CCL, ECL, and SBCL in publishing a new release around the online advent of the thirteenth European Lisp Symposium, ELS2020.

The ABCL 1.6.1 binaries and signatures are now available with their associated CHANGES.

Thanks to everyone involved in continuing to further the progress of our implementation.

ABCL-1.6.1 at ELSCONF

Rejoice! for the Bear has emerged from its Lair to slough off abcl.1.6.1 Please see CHANGES for a summary of improvements over the previous release.

Please get any outstanding patches in before April 27, 2020 as we will be releasing abcl-1.6.1 live "at" #ELSCONF.

Currently, the release candidate rc-0 has been committed to various cloud builds; we will be rendezvousing with the cryptographic signatures to do the actual public release on Monday. ABCL-BUILD doesn't have reproducible builds, but we're actively working on fixing that…

stay tuned until Monday Bear fans,
