CMUCL 19a has been released.
19a has loads of new features, including stack overflow checking, package locks, weak hash tables, helpful local function names, compiler checking of format strings & arguments, inspect works on CLOS objects, callbacks from foreign code to lisp, fwrappers-style encapsulation, basic simple-streams, enhanced disassemble, fixed and enhanced trace, byte compiled code runs 33% faster, heap overflow checking, enhanced source location recording (works for macros), c functions visible in backtraces (instead of just “Foreign function call land”), modular arithmetic (“so (ldb (byte 32 0) (+ x y)) is a simple machine add instruction if x and y are (unsigned-byte 32)”).
There are lots and lots of bug fixes, too, including lots of ANSI compliance fixes and many improvements to the CLOS implementations.
