OpenMCL Approaching Beta

I'm not sure if any other Lispblogger mentioned this (mostly because I haven't gone scouring around all their sites), but Gary Byers released another OpenMCL version in time for Christmas, version 0.14-031220. On the release notes webpage, he says:

Version 0.14 of OpenMCL is (hopefully) nearing feature-completeness, and is (also hopefully) stable and robust enough to be usable. I'd like to soon be able to "officially" make 0.14 the default/main branch; if anyone's aware of any issues that suggest that that'd be a bad idea, please let me know.

Without duplicating all of the release notes here, there's quite a number of interesting changes and some cool new features.

There's also a number of bug fixes from AltiVec fixins', to CLX and McCLIM tidy-ups, cleaned-up CLOS EQL specializers, and more. Check it out!
