+changes in sbcl-1.0.42 relative to sbcl-1.0.41
+ * build changes
+ ** Cross-compilation host is now specified to make.sh using
+ command-line argument --xc-host=<command> instead of a positional
+ argument. (thanks to Daniel Herring)
+ ** Install location can be specified to make.sh using command-line
+ argument --prefix=<path>. (lp#550889s, thanks to Daniel Herring)
+ * optimization: The default implementation of
+ COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION does much less wasted work.
+ * enhancement: Explicit memory barrier operations are now available for use
+ by multithreaded code. See documentation for details.
+ * enhancement: Experimental support for threading on Linux/PPC.
+ * bug fix: RENAME-PACKAGE returns the package. (Thanks to Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: EXPT signals an error if first argument is a zero and second
+ argument is a floating point zero. (lp#571581, thanks to Roman Marynchak)
+ * bug fix: DEFTYPE signals an error for non-list lambda-lists.
+ (lp#576594, thanks to Roman Marynchak)
+ * bug fix: make ASDF-INSTALL compatible with the now-included ASDF2.
+ (lp#612998, reported by Phil Hargett; patch from Jim Wise)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.41 relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
+ * optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
+ cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
+ COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
+ * optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
+ CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
+ if it exists.
+ * bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.40 relative to sbcl-1.0.39:
+ * bug fix: readdir now works on :inode64 darwin builds (lp#592897)
+ * bug fix: Name conflicts between symbols passed as arguments to a single
+ call to IMPORT no longer add multiple symbols with the same name to the
+ package (detectable via DO-SYMBOLS).
+ * bug fix: support building without the dlshim on darwin x86 and x86-64
+ (lp#533470).
+ * bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL now works on ppc/linux.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.39 relative to sbcl-1.0.38:
* bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64 now show
the calling frame.
* bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow their
* bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on non-x86oid
platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale pointers on the control
stack in subsequent GCs (which would, and does, break invariants).
+ * bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
+ * bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than about 32767
+ now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
+ * bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and conversions) in the
+ high order bits are explicitly cleared out. In some contrived situations,
+ this could lead to wrong results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
+ * bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when building with
+ clisp. (lp#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
+ * new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to Josh
+ Elsasser).
+ * bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.
changes in sbcl-1.0.38 relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
