-Subject: [ANNOUNCE] ABCL 0.17.0 released
+Subject: [ANNOUNCE] ABCL 0.18.0 released
 
 
 
 On behalf of the developers of ABCL (Armed Bear Common Lisp) I'm glad to
-be able to announce the 0.17.0 release. ABCL is a Common Lisp
-implementation implemented in Java and running on the JVM, featuring
-both an interpreter and a compiler. The compiler targets the JVM directly
-meaning that its output is runnable JVM bytecode. The fact that ABCL is
-written in Java allows for relatively easy embedding in larger applications.
-For integration with existing applications ABCL implements JSR-223.
