- condition;
- * Experimental native threads support, on x86 Linux. This is not
- compiled in by default: you need to add :SB-THREAD to the target
- features. See the "Beyond ANSI" chapter of the manual for
- details.
- * Due to rearrangement for threads, the control stack and binding stack
- are now allocated at arbitrary addresses instead of being hardcoded
- per-port. Users affected by this probably have to be doing
- advanced things with shared libraries, and will know who they are
+ condition.
+ ** DEFCLASS of forward-referenced classes with another
+ forward-referenced class in the superclasses list no longer
+ causes an error.
+ ** Condition slots are now initialized once each, not multiple
+ times. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+ ** CONVERT-MORE-CALL failed on a lambda list (&KEY). (thanks to
+ Gerd Moellmann)
+ ** &WHOLE and &REST arguments in macro lambda lists are patterns.
+ ** NSET-EXCLUSIVE-OR does not return extra elements when its
+ arguments contain duplicated elements.
+ ** RESTART-CASE understands local macros.
+ ** RESTART-CASE associates exactly its own restarts with a condition.
+ ** ENDP in safe mode checks its argument to be of type LIST.
+ ** COPY-SYMBOL in a threaded build no longer fails when the symbol
+ in question is unbound.
+ ** Optimized MAKE-INSTANCE functions no longer cause internal
+ assertion failures in the presence of duplicate initargs.
+ ** SLOT-MAKUNBOUND returns the instance acted upon, not NIL.
+ ** Side-effectful :DEFAULT-INITARGS have their side-effects
+ propagated even in the ctor optimized implementation of
+ MAKE-INSTANCE.
+ ** :ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS NIL is now accepted in an initarg list.

+changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.8alpha.0
+ * SBCL now builds using CLISP (version of late April 2003 from CVS)
+ as cross-compilation host.
+ * a contributed module containing a partial implementation of the
+ simple-streams interface has been included. (thanks to Rudi
+ Schlatte)
+ * minor incompatible change: the :NEGATIVE-ZERO-IS-NOT-ZERO feature
+ no longer has any effect, as the code controlled by this feature
+ has been deleted. (As far as we know, no-one has ever built using
+ this feature, and its semantics were confused in any case).
+ * SB-MOP:DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS and
+ SB-MOP:EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS now have the
+ specified-by-AMOP lambda list of (CLASS &REST INITARGS).
+ * compiler checks for duplicated variables in macro lambda lists.
+ * fixed bug 47.d: (DEFGENERIC IF (X)) now signals a PROGRAM-ERROR,
+ not a COMPILER-ERROR (followed by some other strange error on
+ choosing the CONTINUE restart).
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** the GENERIC-FUNCTION type is no longer disjoint from FUNCTION
+ types.
+ ** &ENVIRONMENT parameter in macro lambda list is bound first.
+ ** SXHASH on condition objects no longer returns NIL.
+ ** :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots are better treated; their values are
+ updated on class redefinition, and initforms inherited from
+ superclasses are applied.
+ ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
+ no method was removed.
+ ** SHARED-INITIALIZE now initializes the values of the requested
+ slots, including those with :ALLOCATION :CLASS.
