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)
+ * SBCL now builds with OpenMCL (version 0.12) as the
+ cross-compilation host; also, more progress has been made toward
+ bootstrapping under CLISP.
+ * SBCL now runs on the Tru64 (aka OSF/1) operating system on the
+ Alpha architecture.
+ * 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: CHANGE-CLASS is now more ANSI-conforming,
+ accepting initargs. (thanks to Espen Johnsen and Pierre Mai)
+ * bug 179 fixed: DIRECTORY can now deal with filenames with pattern
+ characters in them.
+ * bug 180 fixed: Method combination specifications no longer ignore
+ the :MOST-SPECIFIC-LAST option. (thanks to 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 --disable-debugger option, which is very similar.
+ (The major difference is that it takes effect at a slightly different
+ time at startup, causing 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.
+ a wild pathname to load, loads all files matching that pathname.
+ Instead, an error of type FILE-ERROR is signalled.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.7.6 relative to sbcl-0.7.5:
+ * Array initialization with :INITIAL-ELEMENT is now much faster for
+ cases when the compiler cannot open code the array creation, but
+ does know what the UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE will be.
+ * bug fix: LOAD :IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST NIL now works when file type is
+ specified. (This was at the root of some bad interactions between
+ SBCL and ILISP: thanks to Gregory Wright for diagnosing this and
+ reporting the bug.)
+ * bug fix: Floating point exceptions are treated much more
+ consistently on the x86/Linux and PPC/Linux platforms.
+ * Support for the Solaris 9 operating environment has been included
+ (thanks to Daniel Merritt)
planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* When the profiling interface settles down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe
