has been available for the SPARC since 1999.
<a href="CommonLarceny/download.html">
Common Larceny</a>
became available in November 2004.
<a href="download-petit.html">Petit Larceny</a>
became available in June 2005.
R6RS compatibility was added in November 2007.
In March 2015,
Larceny was upgraded to the R7RS (small) standard.
</p>
<p>
The Larceny project started in 1991 at the University of Oregon under
the direction of
<a href="http://www.cesura17.net/~will/">
William D Clinger</a>;
most of
the original implementation was written during 1991 and 1992 by
<a href="http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lth/index.html">Lars T Hansen</a>.
Development of Larceny resumed after Clinger and then Hansen moved to
Northeastern University.
Hansen began to develop Petit Larceny following the first release of
Larceny in 1999; he also wrote the Intel IA32 and ARMv7 native code
generators.
Common Larceny, which is based on Petit Larceny, was
developed in 2002-2004 by Ryan Culpepper, Joe Marshall, Dale Vaillancourt,
and others under the direction of Clinger and
<a href="http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/">Matthias Felleisen</a>.
The more recent versions of these systems were built by
Clinger, Hansen, Felix Klock, Jesse Tov, and Chris Burns.

<p>
The Larceny development team gratefully acknowledges
those who have contributed major components of this
software:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Jonathan Kraut developed the Sassy assembler for
IA32 and released it under the LGPL. Sassy
is a core component of native Larceny on
Intel-compatible machines.
</li>
<li>Andre van Tonder developed a highly portable
ERR5RS/R6RS library/macro expander, which is the
core of Larceny's implementation of R7RS and the R6RS.
</li>
<li>Matthew Flatt made PLT Scheme's R6RS test suite
available to all implementors of the R6RS, and
granted us permission to revise it as necessary
for the R7RS.
</li>
<li>Bill Schottstaedt made test suites for arithmetic
available to all implementors of the R5RS and R6RS.
</li>
<li>Marc Feeley contributed the original code for
Larceny's pretty printer.
</li>
<li>Kevin McLarnon wrote a patch that opts out of DEP
under Windows.
</li>
<li>Several other contributers are identified in
the
<a href="https://trac.ccs.neu.edu/trac/larceny/browser/trunk/larceny_src/COPYRIGHT"><code>COPYRIGHT</code></a>
file.
</li>
<li>Dave Herman improved the look of Larceny's web site.
