(user-invisible) bitrotted stuff. (E.g. *!INITIAL-FDEFN-OBJECTS*
is no longer a static symbol.)
+changes in sbcl-0.7.7 relative to sbcl-0.7.6:
+ * fixed bug 189: The compiler now respects NOTINLINE declarations for
+ functions declared in FLET and LABELS. (I.e. "LET conversion" is
+ suppressed.) Also now that the compiler is looking at declarations
+ in the environment, it checks optimization declarations as well,
+ and suppresses inlining when (> DEBUG SPEED).
+ * More fixes have been made to treatment of floating point exception
+ treatment and other Unix signals. In particular, floating point
+ exceptions no longer cause Bus errors on the SPARC/Linux platform.
+ * The detection and handling of control stack exhaustion (infinite
+ or very deeply nested recursion) has changed. Stack exhaustion
+ detection is now done by write-protecting pages at the OS level
+ and applies at all optimization settings; when found, a
+ SB-KERNEL:CONTROL-STACK-EXHAUSTED condition (subclass of
+ STORAGE-CONDITION) is signalled, so stack exhaustion can no longer
+ be caught using IGNORE-ERRORS.
+ * Bug 48a./b. fixed: SYMBOL-MACROLET now refuses to bind symbols
+ that are names of constants or global variables.
+ * Bug fix: DEFINE-ALIEN-ROUTINE now declaims the correct FTYPE for
+ alien routines with docstrings.
+ * Bug 184 fixed: Division of ratios by the integer 0 now signals an
+ error of type DIVISION-BY-ZERO. (thanks to Wolfhard Buss and
+ Raymond Toy)
+ * Bug fix: Errors in PARSE-INTEGER are now of type PARSE-ERROR.
+ (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+ * Bug fix: COERCE to (COMPLEX FLOAT) of rationals now returns an
+ object of type (COMPLEX FLOAT). (thanks to Wolfhard Buss)
+ * Bug fix: The SPARC backend can now compile functions involving
+ LOGAND and stack-allocated arguments. (thanks to Raymond Toy)
+ * Bug fix: We no longer segfault on passing a non-FILE-STREAM stream
+ to a functions expecting a PATHNAME-DESIGNATOR.
+ * Minor incompatible change: COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME now merges its
+ OUTPUT-FILE argument with its INPUT-FILE argument, resulting in
+ behaviour analogous to RENAME-FILE. This puts its behaviour more
+ in line with ANSI's wording on COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME. (thanks to
+ Marco Antinotti)

planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* When the profiling interface settles down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe
later, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
