Greetings!  The GCL team is happy to announce the release of version

This release features better floating point precision processing,

SGC, exact vararg initialization, SIGFPE trapping via
#'si::break-on-floating-point-exceptions, x86 support for libopcode
instruction disassembly via #'si::disassemble-instruction, simplified
build dependencies, faster gcd, lcm, typep, coerce, 1+-, predicates,
pcl cache, SGC, fast-linking, closure calls and compiled bignums,
compilation of top level closure forms by default, memoization of
array type handling, support for machines handling long and object
returns in different registers, a much smaller cmpinclude.h, prelink
support, default Debian compiler flag support (especially
stack-guard), new linking and fast-linking diagnostic functions, some
selinux support via READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality, and many
miscellaneous bug fixes and support for bugs in various external
systems.
