+ * new feature: ARRAY-STORAGE-VECTOR provides access to the underlying
+ data vector of an multidimensional SIMPLE-ARRAY.
+ * new feature: the system now signals a continuable error if standard
+ readtable modification is attempted.
+ * optimization: faster generic arithmetic dispatch on x86 and x86-64.
+ * bug fix: Red Hat Enterprise 3 mmap randomization workaround. (thanks
+ to Thomas Burdick)
+ * bug fix: DEFCLASS and ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS are now expected to
+ be thread safe.
+ * bug fix: lexical type declarations are now correctly reported by
+ SB-CLTL2. (reported by Larry D'Anna)
+ * bug fix: STRING-TO-OCTETS did not handle :START properly when
+ using UTF-8 as external format. (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
+ * bug fix: errors from invalid fill-pointer values to (SETF FILL-POINTER)
+ are signalled correctly. (thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * bug fix: SET-MACRO-CHARACTER accepts NIL as the readtable
+ designator. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * bug fix: SET-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER accepts NIL as the readtable
+ designator, and returns T instead of the function. (thanks to
+ Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * bug fix: direct superclasses of STANDARD-CLASS and
+ FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS now default to STANDARD-OBJECT and
+ FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT as required by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: compiling a call to SLOT-VALUE with a constant slot-name
+ when no class with the named slot yet exists no longer causes a
+ compile-time style-warning.
+ * bug fix: :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots are type-checked properly
+ in safe code. (reported by Didier Verna)
+ * bug fix: #430; nested structure constructors can stack allocate.
+ * bug fix: on some 64-bit platforms dynamic space size was truncated
+ to #xffff0000 bytes. (reported by Benjamin Lambert)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.23 relative to 1.0.22:
+ * enhancement: when disassembling method functions, disassembly
+ for the associated fast function is also produced.
+ * enhancement: system stores DEFTYPE lambda-lists, so DESCRIBE can
+ report them.
+ * optimization: printing with *PRINT-PRETTY* true is now more
+ efficient as long as the object being printed doesn't require
+ special handling by the pretty printer.
+ * bug fix: slot symbol-macros from WITH-SLOTS inside DEFMETHOD bodies
+ now interact correctly with type declarations.
+ * partial bug fix: PCL detects infinite recursion during wrapper
+ validation. (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+ * bug fix: #426; nested function calls are inlined properly.
+ Previously if FOO was an inline function, in calls of the form
+ (FOO (FOO ...)) the outer call was not inlined.
+ * bug fix: long long arguments passed in registers to alien
+ functions on PowerPC Linux and NetBSD are now handled correctly
+ when preceded by SYSTEM-AREA-POINTERs. (reported by Josh Elsasser)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.22 relative to 1.0.21:
+ * minor incompatible change: LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT no longer by default looks
+ for the shared object in the current directory, but passes the native
+ namestring of the designated pathname to the operation system's shared
+ object loading function as-it.
+ * minor incompatible change: --disable-debugger toplevel option now takes
+ effect before processing of initialization files and --eval or --load
+ options.
+ * new feature: new commandline argument: --script, which supports
+ shebang lines. See documentation for details. (based on work by
+ Kevin Reid)
+ * new feature: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE can save current values of
+ --dynamic-space-size and --control-stack-size in the executable core,
+ causing it to skip normal runtime option processing. See documentation
+ for details. (thanks to Zach Beane)
+ * enhancement: inoccous calls to EVAL or generic functions dispatching
+ on subclasses of eg. STREAM no longer cause compiler notes to appear.
+ * enhancement: the system no longer resignals errors from --load and
+ --eval toplevel arguments as SIMPLE-ERRORS, which caused restarts
+ associated with the original error to be lost. (thanks to Ariel
+ Badichi)
+ * enhancement: :DONT-SAVE keyword argument has been added to
+ LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT for controlling interaction with
+ SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE, and UNLOAD-SHARED-OBJECT can be used to undo
+ the effects of an earlier LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT call.
+ * bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY on multidimensional arrays used bogusly give
+ them a fill pointer unless :DISPLACED-TO or :INITIAL-CONTENTS were
+ provided. (reported by Cedric St-Jean)
+ * bug fix: circularity handling in the reader did not treat raw
+ structure slots correctly. (reported by Cedric St-Jean)
+ * bug fix: SERVE-EVENT occasionally signaled an error about bogus
+ file descriptors when there were none.
+ * bug fix: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO support of destructuring lambda-lists
+ was broken. (reporteed by Willem Broekema)
+ * bug fix: SB-EXT:NATIVE-NAMESTRING on Windows did not work on
+ pathnames without a directory.
+ * bug fix: COMPILE-FILE did not warn about undefined variable
+ references at toplevel, and LOAD of the resulting fasl did
+ not signal an error.
+ * bug fix: functions with non-required arguments used to end up with
+ (SB-C::&OPTIONAL-DISPATCH ...) as their name.
+ * bug fix: redefining a function with non-required arguments didn't
+ update the system's knowledge about its call signature properly.
+ * bug fix: fixed #431; incompatible alien record type redefinitions
+ are detected and handled. (reported by Neil Haven)
+ * bug fix: using RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY with DEBUG 3 could cause
+ PROGV miscompilation. (reported by Matthias Benkard, patch by Juho
+ Snellman)
+ * bug fix: on x86 and x86-64 backtraces were sometimes truncated
+ after alien stack frames.
+ * bug fix: strings passed to mk{s,d}temp lacked null termination
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.21 relative to 1.0.20:
+ * new feature: the compiler is able to track the effective type of a
+ generic function across method addition and removal.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF allows atomic incrementation of
+ appropriately typed structure slots without locking.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:CALL-WITH-TIMING provides access to timing
+ information like those gathered by TIME using a programming-friendly
+ interface.
+ * new feature: TIME reports time taken even if the form performs a
+ non-local transfer of control.
+ * enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms: on
+ average 45% less pages pinned (measured from SBCL self build).
+ * bug fix: SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP on SYMBOL-VALUE can no longer
+ mutate constant symbols or violate declaimed type of the symbol.
+ * bug fix: SB-THREAD:SIGNAL-SEMAPHORE could fail to wakeup threads
+ sleeping on the semaphore in heavily contested semaphores.
+ * bug fix: semaphores and condition variables were not interrupt
+ safe.
+ * bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT doesn't allow waits on mutexes
+ owned by other threads anymore.
+ * bug fix: FIND on lists called KEY outside the specified
+ subsequence. (reported by budden)
+ * bug fix: LOG doesn't use single-float intermediate results when
+ given mixed integer and double-float arguments, leading to better
+ precision. (reported by Bob Felts)
+ * bug fix: LOG with base zero returned values of inconsistent type.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.20 relative to 1.0.19:
+ * minor incompatible change: OPTIMIZE qualities
+ SB-C::STACK-ALLOCATE-DYNAMIC-EXTENT, SB-C::STACK-ALLOCATE-VECTOR,
+ and SB-C::STACK-ALLOCATE-VALUE-CELLS no longer exist. See documentation
+ and SB-EXT:*STACK-ALLOCATE-DYNAMIC-EXTENT* for details.
+ * documentation: some slot access efficiency guidelines have been
+ added to the user manual.
+ * optimization: ASSOC-IF, ASSOC-IF-NOT, MEMBER-IF, MEMBER-IF-NOT,
+ RASSOC, RASSOC-IF, and RASSOC-IF-NOT are now equally efficient
+ as ASSOC and MEMEBER.
+ * optimization: calls to ASSOC, MEMBER, and RASSOC can be transformed
+ to more efficient EQ-comparison versions more often.
+ * optimization: enhanced derivation of DOLIST iteration variable type
+ for constant lists.
+ * optimization: constant folding of simple (LIST ...) forms as DOLIST
+ arguments.
+ * optimization: runtime lookup of function definitions can be
+ elided in more cases, eg: (let ((x 'foo)) (funcall foo)).
+ * optimization: compiler is able to derive the return type of
+ (AREF (THE STRING X) Y) as being CHARACTER.
+ * optimization: CLRHASH on empty hash-tables no longer does pointless
+ work. (thanks to Alec Berryman)
+ * optimization: REPLACE deftransforms don't punt when :START1 or
+ :START2 is given
+ * bug fix: compiling DESTRUCTURING-BIND on constant list arguments
+ no longer emits a code deletion note. (reported by Andrew
+ Gasparovic)
+ * bug fix: bogus odd-number-of-keywords STYLE-WARNINGs from calls to
+ functions with an odd number of &OPTIONAL arguments, a &REST
+ argument, and one or more &KEY arguments at the call site.
+ * bug fix: STYLE-WARNINGs for functions with both &OPTIONAL and &KEY
+ arguments appeared at call sites as well.
+ * bug fix: fixed #425; CLOSE drops input buffers from streams, so
+ READ-LINE &co can no longer read from them afterwards. (reported
+ by Damien Cassou)
+ * bug fix: fixed #427: unused local aliens no longer cause compiler
+ breakage. (reported by Stelian Ionescu, Andy Hefner and Stanislaw
+ Halik)
+ * bug fix: non-local exit from a WITH-ALIEN form no longer causes
+ alien-stack leakage. (reported by Andy Hefner)

+ type of a variable or bind a constant is made.
+ * bug fix: SET signals an error when an attempt to violate declared
+ type of a variable is made.
+ * bug fix: restart computation during the execution of a restart
+ test function no longer causes infinite recursion. (reported by

+
changes in sbcl-1.0.19 relative to 1.0.18:
* new feature: user-customizable variable SB-EXT:*MUFFLED-WARNINGS*;
warnings that go otherwise unhandled will be muffled if they are
