The new version of Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL 1.3.5) has been released. According to the NEWS file, this month’s release fixes 3 bugs and introduces 4 enhancements.
As usual, it built and installed without any problems on my Mac. The two or three previous releases had a failed regression test but that’s also been fixed in this release. Now the regression tests run as expected. It also seemed to me that the compilation and tests ran a bit snappier with this release.
As I say every month, SBCL is an excellent Common Lisp implementation. It’s under constant development with monthly releases and it’s free as in freedom and beer. If you’d like to try out Lisp or you’re looking for a really great implementation, be sure to give SBCL a try.
