+ * some bug fixes in contrib/sb-aclrepl/
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** a bug in the CONS type specifier, whereby the CAR and CDR
types got intertwined, has been fixed;
** APPEND, [N]REVERSE and NRECONC check that those their
arguments, which must be proper lists, are really so;
** An array specialized to be unable to hold elements has been
- implemented (as required -- yes, really) by ANSI;

on malformed property lists;
+changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.7.14
+ * the old distinction between CL:CLASS objects and SB-PCL:CLASS
+ objects has been removed. The return value from CL:FIND-CLASS is
+ now a CLOS class, and likewise that of CL:CLASS-OF;
+ CL:BUILT-IN-CLASS, CL:STRUCTURE-CLASS and CL:STANDARD-CLASS name

+ des Rivieres and Bobrow's "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol",
+ MIT Press, 1991, is available from the SB-MOP package.
+ * incompatible change: the SB-PCL package should now be considered a
+ private implementation detail, and no longer a semi-private MOP
+ interface.
+ * known functions, which cannot be open coded by backend, are
+ considered to be able to check types of their arguments.
+ (reported by Nathan J. Froyd)
+ * fixed a bug in computing method discriminating functions: it is
+ now possible to define methods specialized on classes which have
+ forward-referenced superclasses. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed evaluation order in optional entries. (reported by Gilbert
+ Baumann)
+ * SB-MOP:ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS now takes its arguments in the
+ specified-by-AMOP order of (CLASS NAME &REST ARGS &KEY).
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** COPY-ALIST now signals an error if its argument is a dotted

+ ** condition slots are now accessed more correctly in the presence
+ of multiple initargs for a given slot;
+ ** the USE-VALUE, CONTINUE and STORE-VALUE functions now correctly
+ exclude restarts of the same name associated with a different
+ condition;

planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe later, it might impact TRACE. They both
