+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.11 relative to sbcl-1.1.10:
+ * enhancement: support building the manual under texinfo version 5.
+ (lp#1189146)
+ * enhancement: Windows builds no longer display the "Kitten of Death" message.

+ NetBSD. (thanks to Robert Swindells)
+ * bug fix: undefined function errors are now properly reported on PPC and MIPS.

+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.10 relative to sbcl-1.1.9:
+ * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 3.0.2.
+ * optimization: stack frames are packed more efficiently on x86oids, which
+ ought to reduce the frequency of Methuselahn conservative references (it
+ certainly helps with gc.impure.lisp / BUG-936304 on x86).
+ * optimization: on x86 and x86-64, integer negation forms like (- x) are now
+ recognized in modular arithmetic contexts, and compile to native negate,
+ rather than going through bignums only to keep the low bits.
+ * bug fix: Compiling potential modularic arithmetic forms does not cause type
+ errors when some integer types lack lower or upper bounds. (lp#1199127)
+ * bug fix: Non-trivial modular arithmetic forms are always cut to the right
+ bitwidth before being used in a non-modular context. (lp#1199428)
+ * bug fix: Multiple catch/unwind blocks in a single function are now
+ allocated in the right stack order on win32. (lp#1072739)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.9 relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+ * new feature: the contrib SB-GMP links with libgmp at runtime to speed
+ up arithmetic on bignums and ratios. (contributed by Stephan Frank)
+ * enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
+ functions, like LENGTH.
+ * enhancement: clean.sh now also cleans doc/internals.
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-SYMBOL-WITH-PREFIX can be used within ~// to
+ print a symbol with a package prefix.
+ * enhancement: The debugger and backtracing are more robust against buggy
+ PRINT-OBJECT methods.
+ * optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
+ * optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
+ * optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
+ an indirect fdefn structure.
+ * optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
+ * optimization: (mod fixnum) type-checks are performed using one unsigned
+ comparison, instead of two.
+ * optimization: enable more modular arithmetic transforms in the presence of
+ conditionals.
+ * optimization: bitwise OR forms can now trigger modular arithmetic as well,
+ when the result is known to be negative.
+ * optimization: recognize more cases of useless LOGAND/LOGIOR with constants.
+ * optimization: comparisons between rationals and constant floats or between
+ integers and constant ratios are now converted to rationals/integers at
+ compile time.
+ * optimization: Smaller and faster DOUBLE-FLOAT-LOW-BITS on x86-64.
+ * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
+ * bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
+ types. (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
+ * bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
+ addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
+ * bug fix: uninitialized type-error conditions can now be printed.
+ (lp#1184586)
+ * bug fix: tests for sb-bsd-sockets no longer use a predefined port for
+ listening, allowing several tests to run in parallel.
+ * bug fix: during disassembly to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* instruction
+ prefixes as used on x86 and x86-64 no longer sometimes print incorrectly.
+ (lp#1085729)
+ * bug fix: Specialised SIMD-PACK types can be negated.
+ * bug fix: Modular arithmetic is more robust. (incidentally fixes another bug
+ reported by Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: FP return values from foreign calls are always rounded to single
+ or double float precision on x87.
+ * bug fix: Known-safe vector access on x86oids should not fail spuriously
+ when the index is of the form (+ x constant-positive-integer).
+ * bug fix: Remove GPL-licensed files from source distribution. (lp#1185668)
+ * bug fix: backtrace printer no longer tries to create very large lists when
+ the arg-count register is clobberred by other code. (lp#1192929)
+ * bug fix: x86 should never signal an FP exception while boxing an FP value,
+ a situation that lands us into ldb.
