changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3:
+ * new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS).
* incompatible change: the thread-safe (on most platforms) getaddrinfo
and getnameinfo sockets functions are used instead of gethostbyaddr
and gethostbyname, on platforms where the newer functions are available.
As a result, the ALIASES field of HOST-ENT will always be NIL on these
platforms.
+ * change: runtimes with embedded cores (i.e. saved with :EXECUTABLE T)
+ don't print the startup banner, but behave as if --noinform was passed
+ as a command line argument. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+ * optimization: code using alien values with undeclared types is much faster.
+ * optimization: the compiler is now able to open code SEARCH in more cases.
+ * optimization: more compact typechecks on x86-64 (thanks to Lutz Euler)
* bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs.
* bug fix: the #= and ## reader macros now interact reasonably with
funcallable instances.
* bug fix: type-checks for function arguments were compiled using the
compiler policy settings of the wrong lexical environment (in 1.0.2
and 1.0.3).
+ * bug fix: SHADOW accepts characters as string designators, as required
+ by the spec (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: fixed GC safety issues when foreign functions are called with
+ non-base strings as arguments
+ * bug fix: more consistent error output for fatal-compiler-warnings, like
+ reader errors
+ * bug fix: functions with proper names were showing up as NIL in
+ backtraces (reported by Edi Weitz, regression in 1.0.2)
changes in sbcl-1.0.3 relative to sbcl-1.0.2:
* new platform: NetBSD/PPC. (thanks to Aymeric Vincent)
