+ * minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and
+ SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor
+ of SB-THREAD:THREAD-ERROR-THREAD.
+ * new contrib module: SB-QUEUE provides thread-safe lockless FIFO queues.
+ * new feature: docstrings for local and anonymous functions are no longer
+ discarded. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
+ * new feature: SB-THREAD:SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD provides access to symbol
+ values in other threads.
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information
+ about object allocation.
* optimization: more efficient type-checks for FIXNUMs when the value
is known to be a signed word on x86 and x86-64.
+ * optimization: (EXPT -1 INTEGER) is compiled into (IF (EVENP INTEGER) 1 -1).
+ (thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * improvement: DESCRIBE output has been reworked to be easier to read and
+ contains more pertinent information.
* improvement: failure to provide requested stack allocation compiler notes
provided in all cases (requested stack allocation not happening without a
note being issued is now considered a bug.)
+ * optimization: compiler is smarter about delegating argument type checks to
+ callees.
* bug fix: on 64 bit platforms FILL worked incorrectly on arrays with
upgraded element type (COMPLEX SINGLE-FLOAT), regression from 1.0.28.55.
(thanks to Paul Khuong)
+ * bug fix: looping around HANDLER-CASE could silently consume stack space
+ on each iteration. (reported by "foobar")
* bug fix: better error signalling when calls to functions seeking elements
from lists (eg. ADJOIN) are compiled with both :TEST and :TEST-NOT.
(reported by Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * bug fix: regressions in DIRECTORY from 1.0.28.61: pattern matching of
+ directory components now works as it used to. (various prolems reported by
+ Michael Becker, Gabriel Dos Reis, Cyrus Harmon, and Harald Hanche-Olsen)
+ * bug fix: :PTY option in RUN-PROGRAM was broken with stream arguments.
+ (reported by Elliot Slaughter, thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * bug fix: bogus undefined variable warnings from fopcompiled references to
+ global variables. (thanks to Lars Rune Nøstdal)
+ * bug fix: foreign function names should now appear in backtraces on
+ FC6 as well. (reported by Tomasz Skutnik and obias Rautenkranz)
+ * bug fix: SETF compiler macro documentation strings are not discarded
+ anymore.
+ * bug fix: GENTEMP is now unaffected by pretty printer dispatch table.
+ (thanks to Alex Plotnick)
