[--- WORK IN PROGRESS ---]

The CMUCL project is pleased to announce the release of CMUCL 19f.

This is a major release which contains numerous enhancements and

bugfixes from the 19e release.

CMUCL is a free, high performance implementation of the Common Lisp

programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. It

mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CMUCL provides a

sophisticated native code compiler; a powerful foreign function

interface; an implementation of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System,

which includes multimethods and a metaobject protocol; a source-level

debugger and code profiler; and an Emacs-like editor implemented in

Common Lisp. CMUCL is maintained by a team of volunteers collaborating

over the Internet, and is mostly in the public domain.

New in this release:

  * Feature enhancements:

  * ANSI compliance fixes:

  * Bugfixes:

  * Trac Tickets:

    - #13 fixed.  (format nil "~11,3,2,0,'*,,'EE" .9999) produce

      0.100e+1 instead of 1.000e+0.

  * Other changes:

  * Improvements to the PCL implementation of CLOS:

  * Changes to rebuilding procedure:

This release is not binary compatible with code compiled using CMUCL

19d; you will need to recompile FASL files. 

See <URL:http://www.cons.org/cmucl/> for download information,

guidelines on reporting bugs, and mailing list details.

We hope you enjoy using this release of CMUCL!
