be used for bundling the runtime and the core file into one
executable binary. This feature is not currently supported on all SBCL
platforms. (thanks to James Bielman and NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * new feature: a generational or ephemeral garbage collector is now
+ the default on the PowerPC platform (both Linux and Darwin). The
+ old Cheney (stop and copy) collector is a build-time option.
+ (thanks to Cyrus Harmon, after Raymond Toy)
* minor incompatible change: the method by which SBCL finds its
contributed modules has changed; it no longer relies on symbolic
links from an $SBCL_HOME/systems directory, but searches directly
in the subdirectories of $SBCL_HOME.
* enhancement: the dynamic heap size on the Linux/PPC platform is
- markedly larger.
+ markedly larger, even using the older Cheney garbage collector.
* fixed bug #399: full call to DATA-VECTOR-REF in accesses to
certain complicated string types. (reported by Gary King)
* fixed bug: STRING-TO-OCTETS and OCTETS-TO-STRING did not convert
manifest itself in a segmentation violation while building PCL.
(reported by Kevin Rosenberg, Eric Marsden, Lars Brinkhoff and
many others over the years)
+ * fixed bug: ROOM no longer reports silly numbers for stack usage if
+ the stack pointer (treated as a signed integer) is negative.
