variable. (found by Rolf Wester)
* SBCL does not ignore type declarations for special
variables. (reported by rif on c.l.l 2003-03-05)
+ * some bug fixes in contrib/sb-aclrepl/
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** a bug in the CONS type specifier, whereby the CAR and CDR
types got intertwined, has been fixed;
** GETF and GET-PROPERTIES throw a TYPE-ERROR, not a SIMPLE-ERROR,
on malformed property lists;
-planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
+changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.7.14
+ * the old distinction between CL:CLASS objects and SB-PCL:CLASS
+ objects has been removed. The return value from CL:FIND-CLASS is
+ now a CLOS class, and likewise that of CL:CLASS-OF;
+ CL:BUILT-IN-CLASS, CL:STRUCTURE-CLASS and CL:STANDARD-CLASS name
+ CLOS classes.
+ * an interface to the MetaObject Protocol, as described in Kiczales,
+ des Rivieres and Bobrow's "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol",
+ MIT Press, 1991, is available from the SB-MOP package.
+ * incompatible change: the SB-PCL package should now be considered a
+ private implementation detail, and no longer a semi-private MOP
+ interface.
+ * minor incompatible change: due to rearrangement for threads, the
+ control stack and binding stack are now allocated at arbitrary
+ addresses instead of being hardcoded per-port. Users affected by
+ this probably have to be doing advanced things with shared
+ libraries, and will know who they are.
+ * known functions, which cannot be open coded by backend, are
+ considered to be able to check types of their arguments.
+ (reported by Nathan J. Froyd)
+ * fixed a bug in computing method discriminating functions: it is
+ now possible to define methods specialized on classes which have
+ forward-referenced superclasses. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed evaluation order in optional entries. (reported by Gilbert
+ Baumann)
+ * SB-MOP:ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS now takes its arguments in the
+ specified-by-AMOP order of (CLASS NAME &REST ARGS &KEY).
+ * fixed bug 20: DEFMETHOD can define methods using names that are
+ not the proper names of classes to designate class specializers.
+ * Experimental native threads support, on x86 Linux. This is not
+ compiled in by default: you need to add :SB-THREAD to the target
+ features. See the "Beyond ANSI" chapter of the manual for
+ details.
+ * sb-aclrepl module improvements: an integrated inspector, added
+ repl features, and a bug fix to :trace command.
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** COPY-ALIST now signals an error if its argument is a dotted
+ list;
+ ** condition slots are now accessed more correctly in the presence
+ of multiple initargs for a given slot;
+ ** the USE-VALUE, CONTINUE and STORE-VALUE functions now correctly
+ exclude restarts of the same name associated with a different
+ condition;
+ ** DEFCLASS of forward-referenced classes with another
+ forward-referenced class in the superclasses list no longer
+ causes an error;

+planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe later, it might impact TRACE. They both
encapsulate functions, and it's not clear yet how e.g. UNPROFILE
