- * enchancement: on CHENEYGC targets, SB-KERNEL:MAKE-LISP-OBJ now does
+ ** The internal SB-THREAD::SPINLOCK API has been deprecated, and using
+ symbols associated with it will trigger a compile-time warning.
+ * thread-related enhancements:
+ (This work has been funded by the SBCL Threading 2011 IndieGoGo campaign.
+ Many thanks to generous donors!)
+ ** Threading is now more reliable on non-Linux platforms. We still
+ don't consider threads on non-Linux platforms good enough to
+ enable them by default, but they're in a clearly better shape now.
+ ** Deadlines supported now on all platforms.
+ ** All blocking functions in the threading API now have a :TIMEOUT
+ argument.
+ ** Semaphore notification objects have been added to SB-THREAD.
+ ** SB-CONCURRENCY contrib now includes Allegro-style GATE objects.
+ ** SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP has been extended to support SLOT-VALUE,
+ STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS, and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS.
+ ** Users can now defined new places usable with SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP
+ using an API anologous to defining new SETFable places.
+ * enhancement: debug-names of anonymous and local function are more
+ descriptive. Affects backtraces and SB-SPROF results. (lp#805100)
+ * enhancement: on GENCGC systems nursery and generation sizes now default to
+ 5% of dynamic-space size.
+ * enhancement: on CHENEYGC targets, SB-KERNEL:MAKE-LISP-OBJ now does
the same validation of pointer objects as GENCGC does, instead of a
comparatively weak bounds-check against the heap spaces.
* enhancement: on win32, ABS of complex floats guards better against
overflows. (lp#888410)
+ * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM now distinguishes exec() failing from child
+ process exiting with code 1. (lp#676987)
+ * enhancement: convenience function SET-SBCL-SOURCE-LOCATION for informing
+ the system where on the filesystem the SBCL sources themselves are
+ located. (Thanks to Zach Beane)
* bug fix: on 64-bit targets, atomic-incf/aref does index computation
correctly, even on wide-fixnum builds. (lp#887220)
* bug fix: (directory "foo/*/*.*") did not follow symlinks in foo/ that
result in fasl-dumping internal type objects. (lp#890750)
* bug fix: type mismatch on (setf aref) and function return values no
longer result in fasl-dumping internal type objects.
- * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:GET-PROTOCOL-BY-NAME leaked foreign memory.
+ * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS issues
+ ** GET-PROTOCOL-BY-NAME had a significant memory leak.
+ ** GET-HOST-BY-NAME and GET-HOST-BY-ADDRESS small amounts of memory on
+ systems with getaddrinfo().
+ ** GET-HOST-BY-NAME and GET-HOST-BY-ADDRESS weren't thread or interrupt
+ safe outside systems with getaddrinfo().
+ * bug fix: on 64-bit systems setting the nursery size above 4Gb now works.
+ (lp#870868)
+ * bug fix: SB-POSIX tests failed on OpenBSD 5.0. (lp#892707)
+ * bug fix: With several combinations of argument types, for example (EXPT
+ <integer> <(complex double)>), EXPT now uses double-precision throughout
+ instead of partially calculating only to single-precision. (lp#741564;
