+changes in sbcl-1.0.18 relative to 1.0.17:
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING now by default
+ profiles only the current thread.
+ * minor incompatible change: changes to SYMBOL-VALUE of constants
+ defined with DEFCONSTANT now signal an error.
+ * enhancement: SB-SPROF now has support for wallclock profiling,
+ and is also able to profile specific threads. REPORT output
+ has also additional sorting options.
+ * optimization: structure allocation has been improved
+ ** constructors created by non-toplevel DEFSTRUCTs are ~40% faster.
+ ** out of line constructors are ~10% faster.
+ ** inline constructors are ~15% faster.
+ ** inline constructors are capable of dynamic extent allocation
+ (generally on x86 and x86-64, in some cases on other platforms
+ as well.)
+ * optimization: simple uses of HANDLER-CASE and HANDLER-BIND no
+ longer cons.
+ * optimization: file compiler is now able to coalesce non-circular
+ lists, non-base strings, and bit-vectors. Additionally, constants
+ are never referenced through SYMBOL-VALUE at runtime.
+ * optimization: code defining methods on PRINT-OBJECT (and other
+ generic functions in the COMMON-LISP package) now loads faster.
+ * bug fix: EAI_NODATA is deprecated since RFC 3493. Stop using it
+ in sb-bsd-sockets.
+ * bug fix: if COMPILE-FILE aborts due to an unwind, the partial
+ fasl is now deleted. (reported by Attila Lendvai)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** NIL is a valid function name (regression at 1.0.13.38)
+ ** FILL on lists was missing its return value (regression at 1.0.12.27)
+ ** STRING-TRIM, STRING-LEFT-TRIM, and STRING-RIGHT-TRIM did not respect
+ fill pointers properly (regression at 1.0.12.23)
+ ** STRING-TRIM, STRING-LEFT-TRIM, and STRING-RIGHT-TRIM did not respect
+ displacement indices properly (regression at 1.0.12.23)
+
changes in sbcl-1.0.17 relative to 1.0.16:
+ * temporary regression: user code can no longer allocate closure
+ variable storage on stack, due to bug 419 without explicitly
+ requesting it. Please consult sbcl-devel for advice if you need to
+ use this feature in the meanwhile.
+ * new feature: runtime argument --control-stack-size can be used to
+ adjust thread default control stack size.
+ * enhancement: improved TIME output
+ ** all times are reported using the measured accuracy (milliseconds
+ for real and GC times, microseconds for everything else.)
+ ** processor cycle counts on x86 and x86-64.
+ ** interpreted forms are counted for both evaluator modes.
+ ** number of lambdas converted by the compiler is reported.
+ ** CPU percentage report (computed from real and total run time.)
+ ** more comprehensive run time reporting, using a condenced format
+ ** interperted form, lambda, and page fault counts are omitted
+ when zero.
* optimization: ADJOIN and PUSHNEW are upto ~70% faster in normal
SPEED policies.
* optimization: APPEND is upto ~10% faster in normal SPEED policies.
* optimization: two argument forms of LAST are upto ~10% faster
in normal SPEED policies.
+ * optimization: NCONC no longer needs to heap cons its &REST list
+ in normal SPEED policies.
+ * bug fix: SB-FLUID build feature no longer breaks the build. (thanks
+ to Sidney Markowitz)
+ * bug fix: UNION and NUNION work with :TEST-NOT once more,
+ regression since 1.0.9.1. (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: result of MAKE-ARRAY can be stack allocated - regression
+ since 1.0.15.36. (thanks to Paul Khuong)
* bug fix: LAST when always returned the whole list when given a bignum
as the second argument.
* bug fix: dynamic extent allocation of nested lists and vectors
platform word lengths.
* bug fix: more correct assembler syntax for GNU binutils
2.18.50.0.4 support. (thanks to Marijn Schouten)
+ * bug fix: fix ECASE warnings from CMUCL-as-xc-host. (reported by
+ Andreas Franke)
+ * bug fix: the fopcompiler can handle LOCALLY forms (with no
+ declarations) successfully. (reported by Attila Lendvai)
changes in sbcl-1.0.16 relative to 1.0.15:
* minor incompatible change: revert the changes to sb-posix's error
