ANN: ABLE 0.16

ABLE is a Common Lisp environment for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X featuring tabbed editing, a listener with command history, symbol completion, syntax highlighting, parenthesis matching, automatic indentation, call-tips and Hyperspec lookup.

Version 0.16 adds a few new things, most notably the often requested bundling of some useful ASDF systems and the ability to easily add others. This release came out a couple of weeks back but I've only just got the Mac version updated due to some battling with Tk on OS X. The Mac version is the least mature of the three but it is starting to catch up.

ABLE can be downloaded from http://phil.nullable.eu/

Neat. Is ABLE written in CL itself? If so, which windowing toolkit does it use?

Yep it's 100% CL and uses LTK which interfaces to Tk.

Could you list what libraries you bundle with Able? I cannot find that information on your home page.
