as per Daniel Barlow's suggestion and Martin Atzmueller's patch
changes in sbcl-0.6.12 relative to sbcl-0.6.11:
+* incompatible change: The old SB-EXT:OPTIMIZE-INTERFACE declaration
+ is no longer recognized. I apologize for this, because it was
+ listed in SB-EXT as a supported extension, but I found that
+ its existing behavior was poorly specified, as well as incorrectly
+ specified, and it looked like too much of a mess to straighten it
+ out. I have enough on my hands trying to get ANSI stuff to work..
* many patches ported from CMU CL by Martin Atzmueller, with
half a dozen bug fixes in pretty-printing and the debugger, and
half a dozen others elsewhere
-?? improved support for intersection types, fixing bug 12 (E.g., now
- (SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL)=>T,T.)
-?? The :PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE and :PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE features
+* fixed bug 13: Floating point infinities are now supported again.
+* fixed bug 45a: Various internal functions required to support
+ complex special functions have been merged from CMU CL sources.
+ (When I was first setting up SBCL, I misunderstood a compile-time
+ conditional #-OLD-SPECFUN, and so accidentally deleted them.)
+* The --noprogrammer command line option is now supported. (Its
+ behavior is slightly different in detail from what the old man
+ page claimed it would do, but it's still appropriate under the
+ same circumstances that the man page talks about.)
+* The :SB-PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE and :SB-PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE features
are now supported, and enabled by default. Thus, the compiler can
handle many floating point and complex operations much less
inefficiently. (Thus e.g. you can implement a complex FFT
without consing!)
-?? unscrewed floating point infinities (bug 13) in order to support
- :PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE and :PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE features
-?? some minor ANSIfication of type specifications: bare 'AND and 'OR
- are no longer valid type specifiers, so e.g. (TYPEP 11 'AND) now
- signals an error; and SATISFIES requires its predicate to be a
- symbol, not a function object
+* improved support for type intersection and union, fixing bug 12
+ (e.g., now (SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL)=>T,T) and some other
+ more obscure bugs as well
* various fixes to make the cross-compiler more portable to
ANSI-conforming-but-different cross-compilation hosts (notably
Lispworks for Windows, following bug reports from Arthur Lemmens)
* a new workaround to make the cross-compiler portable to CMU CL
again despite its non-ANSI EVAL-WHEN, thanks to Martin Atzmueller
+* The compiler now detects type mismatches between DECLAIM FTYPE
+ and DEFUN better, thanks to patches from Martin Atzmueller.
+* A bug in READ-SEQUENCE for CONCATENATED-STREAM has been fixed
+ thanks to Pierre Mai's CMU CL patch.
* new fasl file format version number (because of changes in byte
code opcodes and in internal representation of (OR ..) types)
ANSI Common Lisp standard, may change to their ASCII symbolic
names: #\Nul, #\Soh, #\Stx, etc.
* INTERNAL-TIME-UNITS-PER-SECOND might increase, e.g. to 1000.
+* MAYBE-INLINE will probably go away at some point, maybe 0.7.x,
+ maybe later, in favor of the ANSI-recommended idiom for making
+ a function optionally inline.
