announcement: Maxima 5.24 release



Hello *,

I've just committed maxima-5.24.0 to Gentoo Linux. The usual summary of 
run times of the test suite plus failed tests:

sbcl-1.0.47   171 rtest16 (386)
gcl-2.6.8_pre 175
cmucl-20b     177
ccl-1.6       260
ecl-11.1.1    352 rtest8 (126, 127)
clisp-2.49    569

As before, the group of leaders are sbcl, gcl, cmucl; other lisps are 
considerably slower.
