+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+ * enchancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
+ functions, like LENGTH.
+ * optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
+ * optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
+ * optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
+ an indirect fdefn structure.
+ * optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
+ * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
+ * bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
+ types. (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
+ * bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
+ addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
* notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.
when testing for non-zero-ness.
* bug fix: (CONCATENATE 'null ...) no longer fails for generic sequences.
(lp#1162301)
+ * bug fix: Type mismatch for the value of conditional expressions are
+ correctly reported when detected at compile-time, instead of complaining
+ about a constant NIL (similar for non-EQ-comparable catch tags).
+ * bug fix: Referring to INLINE global functions as values should not result
+ in a compilation failure. (lp#1035721)
* optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
* optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
* optimization: On x86-64, the number of multi-byte NOP instructions used
* optimization: IF/IF conversion should reliably result in sane code
when (some of) the results of the inner IF are always false or
always true.
+ * optimization: On x86oids, variable right shifts of machine words are
+ compiled into straight SAR/SHR, instead of going through the generic
+ VOP. (lp#1066204)
changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
* enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
