+changes in sbcl-1.0.8 relative to sbcl-1.0.7:
+ * enhancement: experimental macro SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP provides
+ atomic compare-and-swap operations on threaded platforms.
+ * enhancement: experimental function SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY
+ allows assining a global minimum value to optimization qualities
+ (overriding proclamations and declarations).
+ * enhancement: closed over variables can be stack-allocated on x86
+ and x86-64.
+ * performance bug fix: GETHASH and (SETF GETHASH) are once again
+ non-consing.
+ * optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS is now up to 60% faster for UTF-8.
+ * bug fix: using obsoleted structure instances with TYPEP and
+ generic functions now signals a sensible error.
+ * bug fix: threads waiting on GET-FOREGROUND can be interrupted.
+ (reported by Kristoffer Kvello)
+ * bug fix: backtrace construction is now more careful when making
+ lisp-objects from pointers on the stack, to avoid creating bogus
+ objects that can be seen by the GC.
+ * bug fix: defaulting of values in contexts expecting more than 7
+ variables now works on x86-64. (reported by Christopher Laux)
+ * bug fix: modifications to packages (INTERN, EXPORT, etc) are now
+ thread safe.
+
changes in sbcl-1.0.7 relative to sbcl-1.0.6:
* MOP improvement: support for user-defined subclasses of
SB-MOP:SPECIALIZER has been enhanced. The experimental interface
* bug fix: interning EQL-specializers is now thread and interrupt safe.
* bug fix: asdf systems with dependencies to the SB-POSIX or
SB-BSD-SOCKETS contribs can be loaded with :FORCE T.
+ * bug fix: interrupt safety of applicable method computation has been
+ improved.
changes in sbcl-1.0.6 relative to sbcl-1.0.5:
* new contrib: sb-cover, an experimental code coverage tool, is included
