changes relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
- * enchancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
+ * enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
functions, like LENGTH.
- * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
+ * enhancement: clean.sh now also cleans doc/internals.
* optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
* optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
* optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
an indirect fdefn structure.
* optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
-
+ * optimization: (mod fixnum) type-checks are performed using one unsigned
+ comparison, instead of two.
+ * optimization: enable more modular arithmetic transforms in the presence of
+ conditionals.
+ * optimization: bitwise OR forms can now trigger modular arithmetic as well,
+ when the result is known to be negative.
+ * optimization: recognize more cases of useless LOGAND/LOGIOR with constants.
+ * optimization: comparisons between rationals and constant floats or between
+ integers and constant ratios are now converted to rationals/integers at
+ compile time.
+ * optimization: Smaller and faster DOUBLE-FLOAT-LOW-BITS on x86-64.
+ * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
+ * bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
+ types. (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
+ * bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
+ addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
+ * bug fix: uninitialized type-error conditions can now be printed.
+ (lp#1184586)
+ * bug fix: tests for sb-bsd-sockets no longer use a predefined port for
+ listening, allowing several tests to run in parallel.
+ * bug fix: during disassembly to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* instruction
+ prefixes as used on x86 and x86-64 no longer sometimes print incorrectly.
+ (lp#1085729)
+ * bug fix: Specialised SIMD-PACK types can be negated.
+ * bug fix: Modular arithmetic is more robust. (incidentally fixes another bug
+ reported by Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: FP return values from foreign calls are always rounded to single
+ or double float precision on x87.
+ * bug fix: Known-safe vector access on x86oids should not fail spuriously
+ when the index is of the form (+ x constant-positive-integer).
+ * bug fix: Remove GPL-licensed files from source distribution. (lp#1185668)
+ * bug fix: backtrace printer no longer tries to create very large lists when
+ the arg-count register is clobberred by other code. (lp#1192929)

changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
* notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
