* fixed bug 285: TRUNCATE on bignum arguments, and indeed bignum
arithmetic in general, is now much more reliable on the PPC
platform.
- * bug fix: LOGCOUNT on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 64) objects on the Alpha platform
- now returs the right answer.
+ * bug fix: LOGCOUNT on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 64) objects on the Alpha
+ platform now returns the right answer.
* optimization: restored some effective method precomputation in
CLOS (turned off by an ANSI fix in sbcl-0.8.3); the amount of
precomputation is now tunable.
MEMBER-types to numeric.
* bug fix: COMPILE-FILE must bind *READTABLE*. (reported by Doug
McNaught)
- * bug fix: (SETF AREF) on byte-sized-element arrays with constant index
- argument now works properly on the Alpha platform.

* bug fix: floating point exception treatment on the Alpha platform
is improved.
- * bug fix: FILE-POSITION works much better on string input and output
- streams. (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+ * bug fix: FILE-POSITION works much better on string input and

+ * bug fix: many threading/garbage collection symptoms sorted.
+ SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD now safe to call on a thread that
+ might be pseudo-atomic.
+ * internal change: Stopping for GC is now done with signals not
+ ptrace. GC is now done in whichever thread wanted it, instead of
+ in the parent.
+ * bug fix: GC hooks (missing since 0.8) reinstated, so finalizers
+ work again.
* bug fix: result form in DO is not contained in the implicit
TAGBODY.
* incompatible change: ICR structure is changed; the value part of
CONTINUATION is now called LVAR; corresponding functions are
renamed (e.g. SB-C::CONTINUATION-TYPE has become SB-C::LVAR-TYPE).
+ * added type deriver for ISQRT (thanks to Robert E. Brown).
+ * bug fix: better support for loading from the command line when an
+ initialization file sets (READTABLE-CASE *READTABLE*). (thanks
+ to Adam Warner)
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** the RETURN clause in LOOP is now equivalent to DO (RETURN ...).
** ROUND and FROUND now give the right answer when given very
an error during type derivation.
** bignum multiplication on the Alpha platform now returns the
right answer.
- * builds on SuSE AMD64, although still generates a 32-bit binary.
+ * porting: The system now builds on SuSE AMD64, although it still
+ generates a 32-bit binary.
+ * .fasl file incompatibility: The fasl file version number has
+ been incremented (because of the changes to internal compiler
+ data structures referred to above).

+changes in sbcl-0.8.5 relative to sbcl-0.8.4:
+ * in full calls compiler does not generate checks for declared
+ argument types for all arguments.
+ * fix bug 282: compiler does not trust type assertions while passing
+ arguments to a full call.
+ * fix bug 261: compiler allows NIL or "no value" to be accepted for
+ &OPTIONAL VALUES type parameter.
+ * fix bug 214: algorithm for noting rejected templates is now more
+ similar to that of template seletion. (also reported by rydis on
+ #lisp)
+ * fixed bug 141b: printing backquoted information readably and prettily
+ inserts a space where necessary.
+ * bug fix: obviously wrong type specifiers such as (FIXNUM 1) or
+ (CHARACTER 10) are now reported as errors, rather than propagated
+ as unknown types. (reported by piso on #lisp)
+ * bug fix: the :IF-EXISTS argument to OPEN now behaves correctly
+ with values NIL and :ERROR. (thanks to Milan Zamazal)
+ * fixed bug 191c: CLOS now does proper keyword argument checking as
+ described in CLHS 7.6.5 and 7.6.5.1.
+ * compiler enhancement: SIGNUM is now better able to derive the type
+ of its result.
+ * type declarations inside WITH-SLOTS are checked. (reported by
+ salex on #lisp)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** incorrect optimization of TRUNCATE for a positive first
+ argument and negative second.
+ ** compiler failure in let-convertion during flushing dead code.
+ ** compiler failure while deriving type of TRUNCATE on an
+ interval, containing 0.
+ ** ASH of a negative bignum by a negative bignum count now returns
+ -1, not 0.
+ ** intersection of CONS types now canonicalizes properly, fixing
+ inconsistencies in SUBTYPEP.
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
