========================== C M U C L  20 e =============================

[In Progress]

The CMUCL project is pleased to announce the release of CMUCL 20e.
This is a major release which contains numerous enhancements and
bug fixes from the 20c 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 multi-methods and a meta-object 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:

  * Known issues:

  * Feature enhancements
 
  * Changes
    * ASDF2 updated to version 2.26.

  * ANSI compliance fixes:

  * Bugfixes:

  * Trac Tickets:
    * Ticket #52 reopened.

  * Other changes:
    * -8 option for build-all.sh is deprecated since we don't

20d; you will need to recompile FASL files.
