* Dynamic loading of object files in OpenBSD is now supported. (thanks
to Pierre Mai)
+ * COMPILE now works correctly on macros. (thanks to Matthias Hoelzl)
+ * GET-MACRO-CHARACTER and SET-MACRO-CHARACTER now represent
+ no-value-for-this-character as NIL (as specified by ANSI).
+ * HOST-NAMESTRING on physical pathnames now returns a string that is
+ valid as a host argument to MERGE-PATHNAMES and to MAKE-PATHNAME.
+ (thanks to Christophe Rhodes)
+ * The Alpha port handles icache flushing more correctly. (thanks to
+ Dan Barlow)
+ * More progress has been made toward bootstrapping under CLISP. (thanks
+ to Christophe Rhodes)
* The fasl file format has changed again, because dynamic loading
on OpenBSD (which has non-ELF object files) motivated some cleanups
in the way that foreign symbols are transformed and passed around.
+ * minor incompatible change: The ASCII RUBOUT character, (CHAR-CODE 127),
+ is no longer treated as whitespace by the reader, but instead as
+ an ordinary character. Thus e.g. (READ-FROM-STRING "A\7fB") returns
+ |A\7fB|, instead of A as it used to.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.7.5 relative to sbcl-0.7.4:
+ * bug 140 fixed: redefinition of classes with different supertypes
+ is now reflected in the type hierarchy. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
+ * bug 158 fixed: the compiler can now deal with integer loop
+ increments different from 1; fixing this turned out also to fix
+ bug 164.
+ * bug 169 fixed: no more bogus warnings about using lexical bindings
+ despite the presence of perfectly good SPECIAL declarations. (thanks
+ to David Lichteblau)
+ * bug 175 fixed: more-closely-ANSI CHANGE-CLASS function, now
+ accepting initargs. (thanks to Espen Johnsen and Pierre Mai)
+ * bug fix: Structure type predicate functions now check their argument
+ count as they should.
+ * bug fix: classes with :METACLASS STRUCTURE-CLASS now print
+ correctly. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
+ * minor incompatible change: The --noprogrammer option is deprecated
+ in favor of the new name --disable-debugger option, which takes
+ effect at a slightly different time at startup (so that e.g.
+ handling of errors in --sysinit and --userinit files will be affected
+ differently). The SB-EXT:DISABLE-DEBUGGER and SB-EXT:ENABLE-DEBUGGER
+ functions have been added to allow this functionality to be controlled
+ from ordinary Lisp code. (ENABLE-DEBUGGER should help people like the
+ Debian maintainers, who might want to run non-interactive scripts to
+ build SBCL cores which will later be used interactively.)
+ * minor incompatible change: The LOAD function no longer, when given
+ a wild pathname to load, loads all files matching that pathname;
+ instead, an error of type FILE-ERROR is signalled.
planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* When the profiling interface settles down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe
