19        <h2>Compatiblity</h2>
20        <p>The implementation now runs on the openjdk6, openjdk7, openjdk8,
21          openjdk11, openjdk13, and openjdk14 JVM runtimes.

27        <h2>Enhancements</h2>
28        <ul>
29          <li>
30            [r15305][r15306][r15307] The :NIO symbol is now present in
31            CL:*FEATURES*, denoting the use of java.nio.ByteBuffer
32            et. al. in the implementation of arrays specialized on
33            commonly used unsigned byte-types.  CL:MAKE-ARRAY now has
34            the :NIO-BUFFER and :NIO-DIRECT keyword arguments useful
35            in the construction of such arrays.
36          </li>
37         
38          <li>
39            [r15280][r15283] The default implementation for
40            CL:DISASSEMBLE has been switched from jad to javap.  The
41            SYS:CHOOSE-ASSEMBLER interface is now able to switch
42            between the jad, javap, fernflower, Procyon, and CFR
43            backends provided as loaded ASDF definitions contained in
44            the ABCL-INTROSPECT contrib.
45          </li>
46
47          <li>
48            [r15268] ABCL-BUILD:DIRECTORY-HASHES outputs the SHA256
49            hashes of files in a directory.
50          </li>
51
52          <li>
53            [r15282] The ABCL-INTROSPECT contrib now adds the
54            EXT:WRITE-CLASS method to write the bytecode representation of a
55            Java class to disk.
56          </li>
57
58          <li>
59            [r15293] The Dockerfile has been updated to use openjdk11
60          </li>
61      </div>

64      <div class="rn-fixes">
65        <h2>Fixes</h2>
66        <ul>
67          <li>[r15292] Fixed all known outstanding problems with
68            DECODE-FLOAT for values less than normalized floats.
69          </li>
70
71          <li>[r15287] Attempts to fill specialized 32-bit arrays with
72            elements greater than 2^32-1 now properly signals a type error.
73          </li>
74
75          <li>
76            [r15267] ABCL-BUILD:ANT/CALL no longer signals an error on
77            failure instead reporting associated error messages.
78          </li>
79
80          <li>
81            [r15281] Autoconfiguration for builds on supported
82          platforms extended.
83          </li>
84
85          <li>
86            [r15290] The invocation of CL-BENCH now utilizes its ASDF definition.
87          </li>
88
89          <li>
90            [r15294][r15298] The contents of the &lt;file:ci/&gt; directory are now
91            included in the source release, and have had all mention of
92            TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR removed decoupling their use from the presence of
93            Travis.
