<p dir="auto">Dear Lisp Implementation Developers and Maintainers,</p>
<p dir="auto">Today we release ASDF 3.3.6, the sixth bugfix release for the 3.3 release series, and -- it is devoutly to be hoped -- the final one.</p>
<p dir="auto">We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of ASDF -- and especially those bundling 3.3.0 through 3.3.5 -- to upgrade to 3.3.6 at their earliest convenience.</p>
<p dir="auto">As maintainer, my primary role continues to be coordination and some limited quality control. The real work for this release has been done by many contributors and bug-reporters, to whom the Common Lisp community owes a tremendous vote of thanks. Their names are listed on the Changelog, appended below.</p>
<p dir="auto">An extra special thanks is due to my co-maintainer, Eric Timmons, who has provided many fixes and also has overhauled and much improved our regression testing.</p>
<p dir="auto">We <em>hope</em> that the next release will be 3.4, introducing new functionality but which, as the numbering suggests, will be backward compatible.</p>
<p dir="auto">Best,<br>
Robert</p>
