* optimization: the hash algorithm for strings has changed to one
that is less vulnerable to spurious collisions. (thanks to Juho
Snellman)
+ * optimization: VECTOR-POP, VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND and REPLACE do less
+ needless bounds checking. (thanks to Juho Snellman)
* optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the PPC backend.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
less than 10 works correctly.
** Reading floating-point numbers with *READ-BASE* set to a number
more than 10 works correctly.
+ ** Printing with *PRINT-READABLY* targets the standard readtable, not
+ the readtable currently in effect.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.10 relative to sbcl-0.8.9:
+ * Support for the forthcoming 2.0 version of the NetBSD kernel
+ running on x86 hardware has been added. (thanks to Perry
+ E. Metzger most immediately, and others for their past work)
+ * [placeholder for DX summary]
+ ** user code with &REST lists declared dynamic-extent, under high
+ speed or space and low safety and debug optimization policy.
+ * The manual has been converted to Texinfo format and the debugger
+ chapter from the cmucl manual has been added.
+ * A facility has been added to extract documentation strings from
+ sbcl and store them as Texinfo-formatted snippets for inclusion in
+ the manual (via Texinfo's @include directive)
+ * bug fix: compiler emitted division in optimized DEREF. (thanks for
+ the test case to Dave Roberts)
+ * bug fix: multidimensional simple arrays loaded from FASLs had fill
+ pointers. (reported by Sean Ross)
+ * bug fix: PROFILE output is printed nicely even for large numerical
+ values. (thanks to Zach Beane)
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
