+Subject: [ANNOUNCE] ABCL 0.17.0 released
+
+
+
+On behalf of the developers of ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) I'm glad to
+be able to announce the 0.17.0 release. ABCL is a Common Lisp
+implementation implemented in Java and running on the JVM, featuring
+both an interpreter and a compiler. The compiler targets the JVM directly
+meaning that its output is runnable JVM bytecode. The fact that ABCL is
+written in Java allows for relatively easy embedding in larger applications.
+For integration with existing applications ABCL implements JSR-223.
+
+
+This release features - among lots of other things - performance improvements,
+a fix for unexpected thread termination due to uncaught exceptions and
+example code for running ABCL on Google App Engine. You can find the full
+release notes at:

+ http://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/release-notes-0.17.shtml
