Dear Lisp Implementation Developers and Maintainers,

Today we release ASDF 3.3.6, the sixth bugfix release for the 3.3 
release series, and -- it is devoutly to be hoped -- the final one.

We urge implementations that are currently bundling previous versions of 
ASDF -- and especially those bundling 3.3.0 through 3.3.5 -- to upgrade 
to 3.3.6 at their earliest convenience.

As maintainer, my primary role continues to be coordination and some 
limited quality control.  The real work for this release has been done 
by many contributors and bug-reporters, to whom the Common Lisp 
community owes a tremendous vote of thanks.  Their names are listed on 
the Changelog, appended below.

An extra special thanks is due to my co-maintainer, Eric Timmons, who 
has provided many fixes and also has overhauled and much improved our 
regression testing.

We *hope* that the next release will be 3.4, introducing new 
functionality but which, as the numbering suggests, will be backward 
compatible.

Best,
Robert
