[Sbcl-announce] sbcl-1.5.5 released

[Christophe R. <cs...@ca...>]

Dear all,

I have tagged and uploaded sbcl-1.5.5 to the usual places: SourceForge
git, file hosting... I dare say mirrors on various other systems will
catch up shortly.  While waiting for it to be available on your
favourite system, by all means peruse the release notes (appended
below), and enjoy the sweet anticipation of downloading, building and
integrating into your toolbox.

Best wishes,

Christophe
