+ * the compiler is now much more consistent in its error-checking
+ treatment of bounding index arguments to sequence functions: in
+ (SAFETY 3) code, errors will be signalled in almost all cases if
+ invalid sequence bounding indices are passed to functions defined
+ by ANSI to operate on sequences.
+ * fixed a bug in the build procedure: documentation of SBCL-specific
+ packages is now preserved and available in the final Lisp image.
+ * lifted FDEFINITION lookup out of loops in the implementation of
+ many list operations. (thanks to Robert E. Brown)
+ * fixed a bug in the reader: the #n# reader macro now works for
+ objects of type STANDARD-OBJECT. (reported by Tony Martinez)
+ * the compiler is now aware that SYMBOL-FUNCTION returns a FUNCTION
+ and that READ-DELIMITED-LIST returns a LIST. (thanks to Robert
+ E. Brown and Tony Martinez respectively)
+ * PCL is now smarter about SLOT-VALUE, (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
+ SLOT-BOUNDP: in particular, it is now able to optimize them much
+ better, and is now not vulnerable to having packages renamed.
+ Furthermore, a compliance bug has been fixed: SLOT-MISSING is now
+ always called when a slot is not present in an instance. (thanks
+ to Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed a bug related to CONCATENATED-STREAMs: PEEK-CHAR will no
+ longer signal an error on unreading a character following EOF on
+ the previous constituent stream. (thanks to Tony Martinez)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P now allows arbitrary integers as arguments,
+ not just nonnegative fixnums;
+ ** the logical bit-array operators such as BIT-AND now accept an
+ explicit NIL for their "opt-arg" argument (to indicate a
+ freshly-consed result bit-array);
+ ** ELT now signals an error on an invalid sequence index in safe
+ code;
+ ** the type system is now cleverer about negations of numeric
+ types, and consequently understands the BIGNUM and RATIO types
+ better;
+ ** the type system is now cleverer about the interaction between
+ INTEGER and RATIO types: while bugs still remain, many more
+ cases are accurately computed;
+ ** in TYPECASE, OTHERWISE now only introduces an otherwise-clause
+ if it is in the last clause;
+ ** CONSTANTLY now correctly returns a side-effect-free function in
+ all cases;
+ ** DECLARE is no longer treated as a special-operator; in
+ particular, SPECIAL-OPERATOR-P no longer returns T for DECLARE;
+ * incremented fasl file version number due to the change in the
+ DEFSTRUCT-SLOT-DESCRIPTION structure.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.7.14 relative to sbcl-0.7.13:
+ * fixed CEILING optimization for a divisor of form 2^k.
+ * fixed bug 240 (emitting extra style warnings "using the lexical
+ binding of the symbol *XXX*" for &OPTIONAL arguments). (reported
+ by Antonio Martinez)
+ * 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;
+ ** the type system is now able to reason about the interaction
+ between INTEGER and RATIO types more completely;
+ ** APPEND checks its arguments for being proper lists;
+ ** An array specialized to be unable to hold elements has been
+ implemented (as required -- yes, really) by ANSI;
