allowed to return, which causes SBCL to quit with exit status 0. Previously
if the function returned with a small integer return value, that value
was accidentally reused as the exit status.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINE-HASH-TABLE-TEST allows defining new arguments
+ to MAKE-HASH-TABLE :TEST, and MAKE-HASH-TABLE has been extended with
+ :HASH-FUNCTION argument. Refer to user manual for details.
* new feature: SB-EXT:DEFGLOBAL macro allows defining global non-special
variables.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:GET-TIME-OF-DAY provides access to seconds and
+ microseconds since the Unix epoch on all platforms.
* new feature: SB-EXT:ALWAYS-BOUND proclamation inhibits MAKUNBOUND, and
allows the compiler to safely elide boundedness checks for special
variables.
the symbol, prohibits both lexical and dynamic binding. This is mainly an
efficiency measure for threaded platforms, but also valueable in
expressing intent.
+ * new feature: UNC pathnames are now understood by the system on Windows.
* optimization: the compiler uses a specialized version of FILL when the
element type is know in more cases, making eg. (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) case
almost 90% faster.
* improvement: pretty-printing loop has been implemented properly. (thanks
to Tobias Rittweiler)
* documentation: CLOS slot typechecing policy has been documented.
+ * bug fix: FILE-AUTHOR no longer signals an error on Windows.
+ * bug fix: SB-SPROF could be foiled by foreign code not have a frame
+ pointer, leading to memory faults. (thanks to Bart Botta)
* bug fix: better floating point exception handling on x86/OpenBSD.
(thanks to Josh Elsasser)
* bug fix: exit status from QUIT when called under --script was lost
