(Mainly useful for building 32-bit SBCL's on x86-64 hosts, not
full-blows cross-compilation.)
* enhancement: extended package prefix syntax <pkgname>::<form-in-package>
- which allows specifying the name of the package for a whole form.
+ which allows specifying name of the default interning package for the
+ whole form.
* enhancement: when *READ-EVAL* is true, arrays with element type other than
T can be printed readably using #.-based syntax. (Thanks to Robert Brown)
* enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN signals a storage-condition instead of returning a
* 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)
+ * enhancement: better disassembly of segment-prefixes on x86 and other
+ instruction prefixes (e.g. LOCK) on x86 and x86-64.
+ * optimization: FIND and POSITION on bit-vectors are orders of magnitude
+ faster (assuming KEY and TEST are not used, or are sufficiently trivial.)
+ * 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)
+ 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
