+ * enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
+ supported on x86/NetBSD and sparc/Linux in addition to the previously
+ supported platforms.
+ * bug fix: on some platforms repeated installations caused multiple
+ copies of HTML documentation to be installed -- should not happen
+ any more. (reported by Stefan Scholl)
+ * bug fix: parsing self-recursive alien record types multiple times
+ no longer causes infinite recursion. (reported by Thomas F. Burdick,
+ original patch by Helmut Eller for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: stack-exhaustion detection works now on NetBSD as well.
+ (thanks to Richard Kreuter)
+ * bug fix: defining classes whose accessors are methods on existing
+ generic functions in other (locked) packages no longer signals
+ bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
+ * bug fix: special variables as DEFMETHOD parameters no longer have
+ associated bogus type declarations. (reported by David Wragg and
+ Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: read-write consistency on streams of element-type
+ (SIGNED-BYTE N) for N > 32. (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: redefiniton of the only method of a generic function with
+ no DEFGENERIC no longer emits a full WARNING. In addition,
+ redefinition of generic functions with no DEFGENERIC to an
+ incompatible lambda list now signals an error. (thanks to Zach
+ Beane)
+ * bug fix: DEFGENERIC now works even when there's a function of the
+ same name in an enclosing lexical environment. (thanks to Zach
+ Beane)
+ * fixed compiler failure, caused by instrumenting code during
+ IR1-optimization. (Debian bug report #273606 by Gabor Melis)
+ * optimization: added loop analysis and improved register allocation
