Greetings! The GCL team is happy to announce the release of version
2.6.11, the latest achievement in the 'stable' (as opposed to
'development') series. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl for

This release features better floating point precision processing,
support for cygwin, arm64, ppc64, ppc64le and solaris, more robust 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.

Take care,
