to Martin Atzmueller's review of it.
* The debugger now flushes standard output streams before it begins
its output ("debugger invoked" and so forth).
-?? The core version number and fasl file version number have both
+* The core version number and fasl file version number have both
been incremented, because of incompatible changes in the layout
of static symbols.
-?? FINISH-OUTPUT now works better than it did before. (It used to
- have trouble with characters which weren't followed by a linefeed.)
- ?? Remember to remove this from BUGS.
-?? The patch for the SUBSEQ bug reported on the cmucl-imp mailing
- list 12 September 2000 has been applied to SBCL.
-?? Martin Atzmueller's versions of two CMU CL patches, as posted on
- sbcl-devel 13 September 2000, have been installed. (The patches fix
- a bug in SUBSEQ and <a bug in ??>.)
-?? A bug in signal handling which kept TRACE from working on OpenBSD
+* FINISH-OUTPUT is now called more consistently on QUIT. (It
+ used to not be called for a saved Lisp image.)
+* Martin Atzmueller's version of a patch to fix a compiler crash,
+ as posted on sbcl-devel 13 September 2000, has been installed.
+* Instead of installing Martin Atzmueller's patch for the
+ compiler transform for SUBSEQ, I deleted the compiler transform,
+ and transforms for some similar consing operations.
+* A bug in signal handling which kept TRACE from working on OpenBSD
has been fixed.
- ?? Remember to remove this from the port-specific section of BUGS.
-?? The signal handling bug reported by Martin Atzmueller on
- sbcl-devel 13 September 2000, which caused the debugger to
- get confused after a Ctrl-C interrupt under ILISP, has been fixed.
-?? added enough DEFTRANSFORMs to allow (SXHASH 'FOO) to be optimized
+* added enough DEFTRANSFORMs to allow (SXHASH 'FOO) to be optimized
away by constant folding
* The system now defines its address space constants in one place
(in the Lisp sources), and propagates them automatically elsewhere
(through GENESIS and the sbcl.h file). Therefore, patching the
address map is less unnecessarily tedious and error-prone. The
Lisp names of address space constants have also been systematized.
-?? CVS tags like dollar-Header-dollar have been removed from
+* CVS tags like dollar-Header-dollar have been removed from
the sources, because they have never saved me trouble and
they've been source of trouble working with patches and other
diff-related operations.
+* fixed the PROG1-vs.-PROGN bug in HANDLER-BIND (reported by
+ ole.rohne@cern.ch on cmucl-help@cons.org 2000-10-25)
+
+changes in sbcl-0.6.9 relative to sbcl-0.6.8:
+
+* DESCRIBE now works on CONDITION objects.
+* The debugger now handles errors which arise when trying to print
+ *DEBUG-CONDITION*, so that it's less likely to fall into infinite
+ regress.
+* The build system now uses an additional file, customize-target-features.lisp,
+ to allow local modifications to the target *FEATURES* list. (The point of
+ this is that now I can set up a custom configuration, e.g. with :SB-SHOW
+ debugging features enabled, without having to worry about propagating it
+ into everyone's system when I do a "cvs update".) When no
+ customize-target-features.lisp file exists, the target *FEATURES* list
+ should be constructed the same way as before.
+?? signal handling reliability
+?? fixed some bugs mentioned in the man page:
+ ?? DEFUN-vs.-DECLAIM
