+changes in sbcl-0.9.18 (1.0.beta?) relative to sbcl-0.9.16:
+ * bug fix: two potential GC deadlocks affecting threaded builds.
+
changes in sbcl-0.9.17 (0.9.99?) relative to sbcl-0.9.16:
+ * feature: weak hash tables, see MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation
* incompatible change: External-format support for FFI calls. The
SB-ALIEN:C-STRING no longer implies an ASCII
external-format. Instead the string is subject to external-format
following unused symbols: *GC-NOTIFY-AFTER*, *GC-NOTIFY-BEFORE*,
*GC-NOTIFY-STREAM*, *ERROR-PRINT-LENGTH*, *ERROR-PRINT-LEVEL*,
*ERROR-PRINT-LINES*
+ * incompatible change: the single-stepper is no longer available
+ on Alpha, Mips and Sparc platforms.
* minor incompatible change: the direct superclasses of
SB-MOP:FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT are (FUNCTION STANDARD-OBJECT),
not (STANDARD-OBJECT FUNCTION). This makes the
class-precedence-lists of GENERIC-FUNCTION and
STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION comply with the requirement of ANSI
1.4.4.5.
+ * minor incompatible change: the default stream external format on
+ non-unicode SBCL is no longer detected from the locale, but is always
+ ISO-8859-1
+ * new feature: Add a version of evaluator that uses an interpreter instead
+ of the compiler. EVAL still uses the compiler by default, to switch it
+ to use the interpreter, set the value of the variable
+ SB-EXT:*EVALUATOR-MODE* to :INTERPRET.
+ * minor incompatible change: the single-stepper REPL has been merged
+ with the normal debugger (see the "Stepping" heading of the debugger help
+ for more details). The debugger command STEP will no longer switch
+ to the single-stepper REPL.
* bug fix: ENOUGH-NAMESTRING on pathnames with no name and a pattern
for a type now works.
* bug fix: loading of default sysinit file works. (thanks to Leonid
Gracin).
* bug fix: timers expiring in dead threads no longer cause a
type-error (reported by Paul "Nonny Mouse").
+ * bug fix: thanks to more lightweight single-stepper instrumentation,
+ code compiled with (DEBUG 3) will compile and execute significantly faster,
+ and will have more accurate type-inferencing than before
+ * bug fix: SLOT-VALUE optimizations are no longer done on method parameters
+ whose bindings are modified
+ * improvements to the win32 port (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk):
+ * bug fix: arguments to RUN-PROGRAM are escaped correctly
+ * replace dummy implementations of CL:MACHINE-INSTANCE and
+ CL:SOFTWARE-VERSION with proper version
