changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.8alpha.0
* SBCL now builds using CLISP (version of late April 2003 from CVS)
as cross-compilation host.
+ * a contributed module containing a partial implementation of the
+ simple-streams interface has been included. (thanks to Rudi
+ Schlatte)
+ * a contributed module implementing the RFC1321 Message Digest
+ Algorithm, known as MD5, has been included.
* minor incompatible change: the :NEGATIVE-ZERO-IS-NOT-ZERO feature
no longer has any effect, as the code controlled by this feature
has been deleted. (As far as we know, no-one has ever built using
this feature, and its semantics were confused in any case).
+ * minor incompatible change: as a consequence of making
+ SLOT-EXISTS-P work on conditions (as required by the ANSI
+ specification), SLOT-VALUE, (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and SLOT-BOUNDP
+ likewise have the expected behaviour on conditions. Users should
+ note, however, that such behaviour is not required by the ANSI
+ specification, and so use of this behaviour may render their code
+ unportable.
* SB-MOP:DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS and
SB-MOP:EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS now have the
specified-by-AMOP lambda list of (CLASS &REST INITARGS).
* compiler checks for duplicated variables in macro lambda lists.
+ * fixed bug 47.d: (DEFGENERIC IF (X)) now signals a PROGRAM-ERROR,
+ not a COMPILER-ERROR (followed by some other strange error on
+ choosing the CONTINUE restart).
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** the GENERIC-FUNCTION type is no longer disjoint from FUNCTION
types.
no method was removed.
** SHARED-INITIALIZE now initializes the values of the requested
slots, including those with :ALLOCATION :CLASS.
+ ** ALLOCATE-INSTANCE now works on structure classes defined via
+ DEFSTRUCT (and not just by those from DEFCLASS :METACLASS
+ STRUCTURE-CLASS).
+ ** SLOT-EXISTS-P now works on conditions, as well as structures
+ and CLOS instances.
+ ** MAKE-LOAD-FORM now has the required methods on
+ STRUCTURE-OBJECT, CONDITION and STANDARD-OBJECT.
+ ** MAKE-LOAD-FORM-SAVING-SLOTS no longer returns a special
+ keyword, and now implements the SLOT-NAMES argument.
+ ** methods with &OPTIONAL arguments no longer allow too many
+ arguments to be passed in the call without error.
+ ** DEFGENERIC now checks that the :ARGUMENT-PRECEDENCE-ORDER
+ option is consistent with the required arguments of the generic
+ function lambda list.
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
