SBCL 1.3.0

The latest version of Steel Bank Common Lisp (version 1.3.0) is out. This version fixes a few bugs, includes a port to Linux on ARM64, and includes a new, optional interpreter. See the NEWS page for details.

I compiled the system from source on OS X 10.11.1 and ran the regression tests. As has been the case for the last 3 releases, one of the tests returned an invalid status but everything else was normal.

While I was at it, I updated my Quicklisp distribution to the [2015-10-31 Sat] release. That downloaded and compiled without problems and served as another test of the new version.

I really love SBCL. It’s a great, complete Common Lisp system that is well maintained with lots of active users. If you’re looking for an excellent, portable Common Lisp system or want to experiment with Lisp, you should try out SBCL. It’s among the very best systems, is free as in beer and speech, and comes with complete source.
