-* a new slam.sh hack to shorten the edit/compile/debug cycle for
- low-level changes to SBCL itself, and a new :SB-AFTER-XC-CORE
- target feature to control the generation of the after-xc.core
- file needed by slam.sh.
-* Compiler trace output (the :TRACE-FILE option to COMPILE-FILE)
- is now a supported extension again, since the consensus is that
- it can be useful for ordinary development work, not just for
- debugging SBCL itself.
-?? more overflow fixes for >16Mbyte i/o buffers
+* better error handling in CLOS method combination, thanks to
+ Martin Atzmueller porting Pierre Mai's CMU CL patches
+* more overflow fixes for >16Mbyte I/O buffers
+* A bug in READ has been fixed, so that now a single Ctrl-D
+ character suffices to cause end-of-file on character streams.
+ In particular, now you only need one Ctrl-D at the command
+ line (not two) to exit SBCL.
+* fixed bug 26: ARRAY-DISPLACEMENT now returns (VALUES NIL 0) for
+ undisplaced arrays.
+* fixed bug 107 (reported as a CMU CL bug by Erik Naggum on
+ comp.lang.lisp 2001-06-11): (WRITE #*101 :RADIX T :BASE 36) now
+ does the right thing.
+* The implementation of some type tests, especially for CONDITION
+ types, is now tidier and maybe faster, due to CMU CL code
+ originally by Douglas Crosher, ported by Martin Atzmueller.
+* Some math functions have been fixed, and there are new
+ optimizers for deriving the types of COERCE and ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE,
+ thanks to Raymond Toy's work on CMU CL, ported by Martin Atzmueller.
+* A bug in COPY-READTABLE was fixed. (Joao Cachopo's patch to CMU
+ CL, ported to SBCL by Martin Atzmueller)
+* DESCRIBE now gives more information in some cases. (Pierre Mai's
+ patch to CMU CL, ported to SBCL by Martin Atzmueller)
+* The code in the SB-PROFILE package has been substantially
+ improved, although it's still unstable.
+* There's a new slam.sh hack to shorten the edit/compile/debug
+ cycle for low-level changes to SBCL itself, and a new
+ :SB-AFTER-XC-CORE target feature to control the generation of
+ the after-xc.core file needed by slam.sh.
