changes in sbcl-0.8.14 relative to sbcl-0.8.13:
+ * incompatible change: the internal functions
+ SB-KERNEL:32BIT-LOGICAL-FOO, intended for providing efficient
+ logical operations on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) values, have been renamed
+ to SB-KERNEL:WORD-LOGICAL-FOO. Modular arithmetic should be used
+ instead of the old functions.
+ * new feature: on platforms where "dladdr" is available foreign
+ function names now appear in backtraces. (based on Helmut Eller's
+ work for CMUCL)
+ * documentation: networking interface SB-BSD-SOCKETS' documentation
+ has been integrated into the user manual.
+ * bug fix: SBCL can now load its contributed modules with REQUIRE
+ even if the system-provided entries have been removed from
+ ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY*. Infinite recursion in REQUIRE is also
+ detected.
* bug fix: backtraces involving undefined functions or assembly
routines are more informative. (thanks to Brian Downing)
* bug fix: mutually referent alien structures now work correctly.
(reported by Rick Taube)
* bug fix: structures defined by WITH-ALIEN can be referred to
within other definitions in the same WITH-ALIEN.
+ * bug fix: division operators (MOD, TRUNCATE and the like) with
+ constant zero divisors and integer dividends no longer generate
+ left shifts.
+ * bug fix: provide default methods for INPUT-STREAM-P and
+ OUTPUT-STREAM-P specialized on SB-GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM.
+ * bug fix: improve the detection and resolution of MOP metacycles
+ (where effective method computation depends on the generic function
+ having its effective method computed). (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: pass the right initargs to :BEFORE or :AFTER methods on
+ SHARED-INITIALIZE or INITIALIZE-INSTANCE in optimized
+ MAKE-INSTANCE constructors. (reported by Axel Schairer for cmucl)
+ * optimization: in taking the GCD of bignums, reduce the two bignums
+ to approximately the same size (using Euclid's algorithm) before
+ applying the more sophisticated binary GCD. (thanks to Juho
+ Snellman)
changes in sbcl-0.8.13 relative to sbcl-0.8.12:
* new feature: SB-PACKAGE-LOCKS. See the "Package Locks" section of
