tests.
* enhancement: undefined functions now appear in backtraces as ("undefined
function") instead of ("bogus stack frame") on x86oids.
+ * enhancement: detected deadlocks no longer cause stderr to be spammed, and
+ deadlock errors are reported in an easier-to-decipher manner.
+ * enhancement: DESCRIBE on type designators reports the expansion in more
+ cases.
+ * enhancement: SBCL now provides either an explicit :BIG-ENDIAN or
+ :LITTLE-ENDIAN in *FEATURES*, instead of :BIG-ENDIAN being implied by lack
+ of the :LITTLE-ENDIAN feature. (Thanks to Luís Oliveira, lp#901661)
+ * optimization: SUBSEQ on vectors of unknown element type is substantially
+ faster. (lp#902537)
+ * optimization: specialized arrays with non-zero :INITIAL-ELEMENT can
+ be stack-allocated. (lp#902351)
* optimization: the compiler is smarter about representation selection for
floating point constants used in full calls.
* optimization: the compiler no longer refuses to coerce large fixnums to
unknown type no longer causes a style-warning. (lp#806243)
* bug fix: undefined functions now appear in backtraces as ("undefined
function") instead of ("bogus stack frame") on non-x86oids.
+ * bug fix: backtraces are no longer cut off at ("undefined function") when
+ called under certain circumstances (involving a caller-allocated stack
+ frame) on PPC.
+ * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM leaked a file-descriptor per call on non-Windows
+ systems. (regression since 1.0.53)
+ * bug fix: GC deadlocks from dladdr() on certain platforms.
+ * bug fix: broken standard streams no longer automatically cause recursive
+ errors on debugger entry.
+ * bug fix: build ignored --dynamic-space-size=<size> argument to make.sh
+ (regression since 1.0.53)
+ * bug fix: attempts to stack allocate a required argument to a function with
+ an external entry point caused compiler-errors.
+ * bug fix: compiler notes for failed stack allocation for a function argument
+ no longer claim to be unable to stack allocate the function.
+ * bug fix: COERCE now signals a type-error on several coercions to
+ subtypes of CHARACTER that are forbidden according to ANSI. (lp#841312)
+ * bug fix: missing failure-to-stack-allocate compiler notes for some
+ forms of MAKE-ARRAY with dynamic-extent. (lp#902351)
