+changes in sbcl-0.9.8 relative to sbcl-0.9.7:
+ * fixed bug #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
+ expected. (reported by Tim Daly Jr)
+ * fixed bug #391: complicated :TYPE intersections in slot
+ definitions no longer cause an error in PCL internals.
+ * bug fix: FILE-STRING-LENGTH is now external-format sensitive,
+ returning the number of octets which would be written to the
+ file-stream. (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+
changes in sbcl-0.9.7 relative to sbcl-0.9.6:
+ * minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
+ GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are no longer generic functions, and
+ therefore are not customizeable by user code (as seems to be at
+ least permitted and maybe required by AMOP). As a consolation,
+ however, the SBCL implementation of these functions now calls
+ REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE as specified by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: slot-definition documentation is propagated as per ANSI
+ 7.6.2 to EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITIONS.
+ COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION now receives a :DOCUMENTATION
+ argument, as do eslotd initialization methods. (from Pascal
+ Costanza's "Closer" project)
+ * bug fix: REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE on generic functions calls
+ COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION (almost) unconditionally, as
+ specified by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: it is now possible to have more than one subclass of
+ STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION without causing stack overflow.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible, Pascal Costanza and others)
+ * bug fix: the dependent update protocol now works for generic
+ functions. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann; reported by Bruno Haible
+ and Pascal Costanza)
+ * bug fix: condition-class instances corresponding to
+ DEFINE-CONDITION forms are now created eagerly. (reported by
+ Kalle Olavi Niemitalo on comp.lang.lisp)
+ * bug fix: floating point printing is more accurate in some
+ circumstances. (thanks to Simon Alexander)
* bug fix: *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* now contains the user's pathname
merged with *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*.
+ * bug fix: callbacks on OS X now preserve stack-alignment.
+ (thanks to Cyrus Harmon)
+ * enhancement: the x86-64 disassembler is much better at
+ disassembling SSE instructions. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * enhancement: CHECK-TYPE on a variable now allows type-inference
+ (thanks to Vincent Arkesteijn)
+ * optimization: improved performance of EUC-JP external format.
+ (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
* optimization: performance improvements to IO on file streams of
:ELEMENT-TYPE CHARACTER
+ * optimization: much faster memory allocation on x86-64
+ * optimization: faster garbage collections (latency and throughput)
+ on gencgc
+ * optimization: faster bignum subtraction and division on x86 and x86-64
+ (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: more accurate type-inference for loops that use a
+ floating point index variable or a negative step.
changes in sbcl-0.9.6 relative to sbcl-0.9.5:
* bug fix: add a workaround to SBCL looping infinitely at startup on
(thanks to Richard Kreuter)
* bug fix: defining classes whose accessors are methods on existing
generic functions in other (locked) packages no longer signals
- bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
+ bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
* bug fix: special variables as DEFMETHOD parameters no longer have
associated bogus type declarations. (reported by David Wragg and
Bruno Haible)
