+changes in sbcl-0.9.16 relative to sbcl-0.9.15:
+ * feature: implemented the READER-METHOD-CLASS and
+ WRITER-METHOD-CLASS portion of the Class Initialization Protocol
+ as specified by AMOP.
+ * optimization: faster LOGCOUNT implementation on x86 and x86-64
+ (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * fixed bug #337: use of MAKE-METHOD in method combination now works
+ even in the presence of user-defined method classes. (reported by
+ Bruno Haible and Pascal Costanza)
+ * fixed bug #339(c): if there are applicable methods not part of any
+ long-form method-combination group, call INVALID-METHOD-ERROR.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: improved the handling of type declarations and the
+ detection of violations for keyword arguments with non-constant
+ defaults.
+ * bug fix: erronous calls to PATHNAME were being optimized away.
+ (reported by Richard Kreuter)
+ * bug fix: compiled calls to TYPEP were mishandling obsolete
+ instances. (reported by James Bielman and Attila Lendvai)
+
changes in sbcl-0.9.15 relative to sbcl-0.9.14:
* added support for the ucs-2 external format. (contributed by Ivan
Boldyrev)
* fixed bug: SPECIALIZER metaobjects (including anonymous classes
and EQL-SPECIALIZERs) can be used as specializers to DEFMETHOD.
(reported by Pascal Costanza)
+ * fixed bug: FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is called from
+ REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE on classes when the class has previously
+ been finalized, as required by AMOP.
* minor code generation optimizations:
** better register allocation in CLOS dispatching functions
** overflow detection when coercing signed bytes to fixnums on x86-64
