changes in sbcl-1.0.7 relative to sbcl-1.0.6:
+ * MOP improvement: support for user-defined subclasses of
+ SB-MOP:SPECIALIZER has been enhanced. The experimental interface
+ function SB-PCL:MAKE-METHOD-SPECIALIZERS-FORM, called as part of
+ the expansion of DEFMETHOD, is responsible for generating a form
+ which creates a list of specializers when evaluated. Additional
+ functions SB-PCL:[UN]PARSE-SPECIALIZER-USING-CLASS provide
+ debugging and introspective support.
+ * minor incompatible change: the (unsupported) spinlock interface
+ has changed: free spinlock now has the value NIL, and a held spinlock
+ has the owning thread as its value.
+ * enhancement: WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS now binds ALLOW-WITH-INTERRUPTS and
+ WITH-LOCAL-INTERRUPTS as local macros. Refer to documentation string
+ for details.
* enhancement: name of a socket-stream is now "a socket" instead of
"a constant string".
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX now supports lockf(). (Thanks to Zach Beane.)
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX now supports getcwd(). (Thanks to Tassilo Horn.)
+ * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-ARGLIST shows nicer argument lists
+ for generic functions. (Thanks to Tobias C. Rittweiler)
+ * optimization: bignum printing speed has been improved by 20-40%
+ (depending on the bignum size.)
+ * bug fix: WITH-MUTEX and WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK are now interrupt safe
+ on Linux.
+ * bug fix: the cache used by the CLOS to store precomputed effective
+ methods, slot offsets, and constant return values is now thread and
+ interrupt safe.
+ * bug fix: generic function dispatch function updating is now thread
+ and interrupt safe (in the sense that the known issues have been
+ fixed.)
+ * bug fix: ADD/REMOVE-METHOD is now thread and interrupt safe.
+ * bug fix: interning EQL-specializers is now thread and interrupt safe.
+ * bug fix: asdf systems with dependencies to the SB-POSIX or
+ SB-BSD-SOCKETS contribs can be loaded with :FORCE T.
