The ``omega'' release is 15e dated Feb 25, 1992.
The ``beta'' release is 16e dated Aug 5, 1992.
[We also have an internal alpha release, but you don't to know about
that. Some days I wish I didn't. :-) ]
For details as to what is in each release, pick up the files:
omega-release-notes.txt
beta-release-notes.txt
from our release area:
/afs/cs/project/clisp/release/
For those without access to AFS, you can use anonymous ftp to one of
the following machines:
lisp-rt1.slisp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.217.9]
lisp-rt2.slisp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.217.10]
ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173]

Depends on whether or not you want/need the bug fixes/improvements to
be found in 16e. Check out the beta-release-notes for details as to
what they are.

Currently, we don't have any hard plans for the next release. We are
trying to get some of the PCL problems worked out, and when we do we
will probably put out a 16f that includes them and whatever other
random bug fixes we think are stable enough.
It will probably be a while before a version 17 based release sees the
light of day.
