+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.46:
+ * bug fix: fix mach port rights leaks in mach exception handling code on
+ darwin/x86 and /x86-64. (thanks to Willem Oudshoorn for motivation and the
+ initial patch)
+ * enhancement: --script muffles style-warnings and compiler notes. (lp#677779)
+ * enhancement: redefinition warnings for macros from different files. (lp#434657)
+ * enhancement: better MACHINE-VERSION on Darwin x86 and x86-64. (lp#668332)
+ * enhancement: (FORMAT "foo" ...) and similar signal a compile-time warning. (lp#327223)
+ * enhancement: no more "in: LAMBDA NIL" messages from the compiler for forms
+ processed using EVAL -- now the appropriate toplevel form is reported instead.
+ * enhancement: more legible style-warnings for inappropriate IGNORE and IGNORABLE
+ declarations. (lp#726331)
+ * enhancement: :NOT-NULL option has been added to alien C-STRING type to indicate
+ that NIL/NULL is excluded from the type.
+ * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:MAP-ROOT allows mapping over pointers contained in
+ arbitrary objects.
+ * optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are faster in the presence of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS
+ and its compatriots.
+ * optimization: core startup time is reduced by 30% on x86-64. (lp#557357)
+ * bug fix: SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST guards against potentially leaking
+ stack-allocated values out of their dynamic-extent. (lp#310175)
+ * bug fix: attempts to use SB-SPROF for wallclock profiling on threaded
+ x86-64 builds caused a type-error.
+ * bug fix: calling COMPILE with something else than a lambda-expression as the
+ second argument reports a more sensible error. (lp#718905)
+ * bug fix: invalid combinations of :PREDICATE and :TYPE options in DEFSTRUCT
+ are detected. (lp#520607)
+ * bug fix: constant keyword argument checking didn't take :ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS
+ into account.
+ * bug fix: SLOT-BOUNDP information is correct during MAKE-INSTANCE in the
+ presence of (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS) and SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS
+ methods. (regression from 1.0.45.18)
+ * bug fix: INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods supplying initargs via
+ CALL-NEXT-METHOD work correctly. (regression from 1.0.45.19)
+ * bug fix: several foreign functions accepting string also accepted NIL and
+ consequently caused a memory fault at 0 now signal a type-error instead.
+ (lp#721087)
+ * bug fix: under rare circumstances, constraint propagation could rewrite a
+ variable reference to refer to a variable not in scope, causing an error
+ during physical environment analysis when attempting to close over the
+ variable. (lp#551227)
+ * bug fix: SIMPLE-CONDITION :FORMAT-CONTROL defaults to NIL.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.46 relative to sbcl-1.0.45:
+ * enhancement: largefile support on Solaris.
+ * enhancement: SB-PROFILE:REPORT now supports :LIMIT and :PRINT-NO-CALL-LIST
+ arguments (lp#710017)
+ * enhancement: SB-PCL:+SLOT-UNBOUND+ is exported, making it possible to
+ distinguish unbound instance slots when using STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS
+ &co. (lp#718039)
+ * optimization: ERROR and CERROR are approximately 5 times faster.
+ * optimization: optimized constructors are used for MAKE-INSTANCE of classes
+ with applicable non-standard (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS),
+ SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS, and INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods, speeding
+ up instance creation in those cases.
+ * optimization: arithmetic operations with multiple constant arguments in now
+ have them reduced at compile-time. (lp#676414)
+ * optimization: determining current character position on string-streams for
+ pretty-printing was overly slow.
+ * bug fix: local tail calls to DYNAMIC-EXTENT functions can no longer cause
+ lifetime analysis to overwrite closed-over variables (lp#681092).
+ * bug fix: encoding errors from some multibyte external formats such as EUC-JP
+ were not handled correctly (lp#713063).
+ * bug fix: printing waitqueue objects without setting *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T is now
+ safe (lp#673630).
+ * bug fix: Solaris/x86-64 wasn't getting built with lutex support by
+ mistake. (lp#667297).
+ * bug fix: CONSTANTLY generated functions had bogus lambda-lists. (lp#713626)
+ * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM :PTY option was racy on OpenBSD. (lp#669485)
+ * bug fix: UNINTERN takes a symbol, not a symbol designator -- could previously
+ unintern the wrong symbol with the same name. (lp#693796)
+ * bug fix: COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH always has access to a pristine table,
+ making it possible to restore the initial table if it has been messed up.
+ (lp#678409)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.45 relative to sbcl-1.0.44:
+ * enhancement: ~/ and ~user/ are treated specially in pathnames.
+ Refer to documentation for details.
+ * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.010.
+ * optimization: mutated closed-over variables that are only accessed by
+ DYNAMIC-EXTENT closures (currently only FLET and LABELS functions
+ declared to be DYNAMIC-EXTENT) are stored directly in their containing
+ stack frame, rather than allocating a VALUE-CELL (lp#586103).
+ * optimization: UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup functions are now declared
+ DYNAMIC-EXTENT.
+ * bug fix: backtracing function with &REST arguments now shows the full
+ argument list. (lp#310173)
+ * bug fix: return types for functions with complex lambda-lists are now
+ derived properly (lp#384892)
+ * bug fix: when SPEED > SPACE compiling CONCATENATE 'STRING with constant
+ long string arguments slowed the compiler down to a crawl.
+ * bug fix: closure VALUE-CELLs are no longer stack-allocated (lp#308934).
+ * bug fix: non-standard MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA methods could break RETURN-FROM
+ in the DEFMETHOD body.
+ * bug fix: #<SB-C::DEFINED-FUN ...> should no longer appear in compiler
+ messages, being instead replaced with the corresponding function name.
+ * bug fix: don't derive overly complex unions of numeric types for arithmetic
+ operators. (lp#309448)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.44 relative to sbcl-1.0.43:
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM accepts :EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument to select the
external-format for its :INPUT, :OUTPUT, AND :ERROR :STREAMs.
* enhancement: ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also provides the page the object
resides on.
* enhancement: default dynamic-space size can be configured at build-time
without touching source, using the --dynamic-space-size argument to make.sh.
+ * enhancement: DESCRIBE recognizes symbols naming optimization policy
+ qualities, and mentions ALWAYS-BOUND declarations.
+ * enhancement: ATOMIC-INCF now supports AREF of (SIMPLE-ARRAY SB-EXT:WORD (*))
+ as a place.
+ * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 2.009.
+ * enhancement: the system detects known type-erros in calls better,
+ signalling a full warning about violated proclaimed FTYPEs and violations
+ of derived FTYPEs within the same file, including self-calls.
+ * enhancement: new function: SB-EXT:DELETE-DIRECTORY is now provided.
+ * optimization: constant-folding exploits numeric and character types, in
+ addition member types.
+ * optimization: numeric, character and member types that are inhabited by
+ exactly one value are tested with EQL.
+ * optimization: more conditional branches are eliminated during IR1.
+ Branches are simplified before performing if/if-conversion, and simple
+ equivalent branches (that only read the same constant or variable) are
+ merged.
+ * improvements to the Windows port:
+ ** change: canonical unparsing form for pathname namestrings now uses / as
+ directory separator. NATIVE-NAMESTRING still uses \ as the separator.
+ ** bug fix: stackoverwriting due to incorrect usage of PeekConsoleInput
+ on Windows. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
+ ** bug fix: build now works on cygwin with GCC 4.x installed. (thanks to
+ Kalyanov Dmitry)
+ ** bug fix: run-sbcl.sh now works on Cygwin. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
* bug fix: compiler failed to derive the result-type of MAKE-ARRAY as
(AND VECTOR (NOT SIMPLE-ARRAY)) when appropriate. (lp#309130)
* bug fix: (THE (VALUES ...)) in LOAD-TIME-VALUE caused a compiler-error.
(lp#646796)
- * bug fix: interrupts arriving due to CL:OPEN caused an error.
+ * bug fix: interrupts arriving during CL:OPEN caused an error.
* bug fix: overeager character buffering could cause input to block
spuriously when reading from a pipe (lp#643686)
* bug fix: more efficient timer expiry should avoid starvation on systems
where number of SIGALRMs per second is restricted. (lp#375515)
+ * bug fix: non-unicode builds no longer fail (broken since 1.0.36.15).
+ * bug fix: compile-times no longer scale linearly with the size of
+ quoted lists in source-code. (lp#654289)
+ * bug fix: better errors for unknown external-formats in OPEN. (lp#561974)
+ * bug fix: DEBUG>SPEED no longer degrades ALIEN-FUNCALL performance quite
+ so badly. (lp#654485)
+ * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT:FIND-DEFINITION-SOURCES-BY-NAME no longer signals
+ an error for eg. STRUCTURE. (lp#458015)
+ * bug fix: LOOP WITH NIL = ... signalled an unused variable style-warning.
+ (lp#613871, thanks to Roman Marynchak)
+ * bug fix: more reliable &REST list type derivation. (lp#655203)
+ * bug fix: PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK multiply-evaluated :PER-LINE-PREFIX,
+ and issued pointles code-deletion notes for it, :PREFIX, and :SUFFIX.
+ * bug fix: the compiler didn't utilize the proclaimed ftype for functions
+ also declared NOTINLINE. (lp#655581)
+ * bug fix: the compiler could attempt to emit constant left shifts of
+ greater value than n-word-bits. (lp#309063)
+ * bug fix: (SETF SYMBOL-FUNCTION) and (SETF FDEFINITION) clear derived
+ type information for the function being set. (lp#659220)
+ * bug fix: the system used to signal bogus STYLE-WARNINGs when functions
+ containing self-calls were recompiled with a new signature, and failed
+ to warn when a self-call using the old signature was left in. (lp#655126)
+ * bug fix: incorrect FILE-POSITION on streams opened using :EXTERNAL-FORMAT
+ :DEFAULT when the default external had character size other than 8 bits.
+ (lp#657183)
+ * bug fix: derived types of functions in the same file were implicitly
+ trusted, leading to potential heap corruption when those function were
+ defined incompatibly. (lp#657499)
+ * bug fix: existing ASDF source registries are ignored when building
+ contribs (lp#659105)
+ * bug fix: short-form DEFSETF checks that the second argument is a symbol
+ (lp#655824, thanks to Roman Marynchak)
+ * bug fix: (SETF MACRO-FUNCTION) clobbered macro-definitions before
+ package-lock violation was detected. (lp#660752)
+ * bug fix: the system can store different docstrings for a single function
+ under different names. (lp#661631, regression from 1.0.29.24)

+ fork with multiple Lisp threads running is made on every platform,
+ not just Darwin. (lp#451111)

+ core was reified.
+ * bug fix: Allow UNTRACE of functions that are no longer defined
+ (lp#667657, thanks to Attila Lendvai)
