-changes relative to sbcl-1.0.30:
+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.41
+ * optimization: the default implementation of
+ COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION does much less wasted work.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.41 relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
+ * optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
+ cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
+ COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
+ * optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
+ CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
+ if it exists.
+ * bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.40 relative to sbcl-1.0.39:
+ * bug fix: readdir now works on :inode64 darwin builds (lp#592897)
+ * bug fix: Name conflicts between symbols passed as arguments to a single
+ call to IMPORT no longer add multiple symbols with the same name to the
+ package (detectable via DO-SYMBOLS).
+ * bug fix: support building without the dlshim on darwin x86 and x86-64
+ (lp#533470).
+ * bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL now works on ppc/linux.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.39 relative to sbcl-1.0.38:
+ * bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64 now show
+ the calling frame.
+ * bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow their
+ space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they are written out
+ of order).
+ * bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on non-x86oid
+ platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale pointers on the control
+ stack in subsequent GCs (which would, and does, break invariants).
+ * bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
+ * bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than about 32767
+ now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
+ * bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and conversions) in the
+ high order bits are explicitly cleared out. In some contrived situations,
+ this could lead to wrong results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
+ * bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when building with
+ clisp. (lp#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
+ * new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to Josh
+ Elsasser).
+ * bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.38 relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
+ * incompatible change: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
+ like for any other thread-related datastructure, MUTEX, etc. (lp#547095)
+ * deprecation: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
+ contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
+ * deprecation: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
+ SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
+ * new contributed module: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to
+ contain additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming;
+ at the moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
+ implementation.
+ * new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
+ GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters. Also added
+ :TIMEOUT argument to GRAB-MUTEX on non-sb-lutex platforms like Linux and
+ BSD.
+ * new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
+ SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
+ SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.

+ ** sockets and socket streams now have a more informative printed
+ representation based on the corresponding SOCKET-NAME and
+ SOCKET-PEERNAME.
+ ** SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM once more supports the :AUTO-CLOSE option.
+ (lp#540413)
+ ** SOCKET-CLOSE now accepts :ABORT argument, which is passed on to
+ CL:CLOSE when appropriate, and no longer disassociates the stream
+ from the socket if close failed. (lp#543951)
+ * improvements to the instrumenting profiler
+ ** new feature: report per-function GC overhead. (thanks to John Fremlin)
+ ** optimization: counters no longer use locks for the overflow mode.
+ ** bug fix: whenever a profiling counter wrapped into overflow mode, it
+ incurred an off-by-one miscount.
+ * enhancement: improved MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation (lp#543473)
+ * enhancement: improved DEFMETHOD pretty-printing.
+ * enhancement: perform range reduction when arguments are too large for
+ x87's transcendentals (instead of returning 0). (lp#327192)
+ * enhancement: eliminate some spurious TYPE-WARNINGs. Should help with
+ some of CL-PPCRE's macros. (lp#570079)
+ * enhancement: our machine code is slightly less hostile to valgrind on
+ x86-64.
+ * enhancement: up-to-date versions of NetBSD-current are supported. (Thanks
+ to Robert Swindells and Aleksej Saushev)
+ * bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
+ * bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
+ * bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
+ to timeouts could be left in an inconsistent state.
+ * bug fix: fix typo in "Reporting Bugs" section of the manual (lp#520366)
+ * bug fix: misoptimization of multiplication by one in
+ (SB-C::FLOAT-ACCURACY 0) policies.
+ * bug fix: miscounts in SB-PROFILE.
+ * bug fix: Fix lost wakeup bug between SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT and
+ CONDITION-NOTIFY on Linux. See threads "lost wakeup in condition-wait /
+ condition-notify" (Feb 2010) and "Condition-Wait, Deadline handler, waking
+ up itself" (March 2010) for further details.
+ * bug fix: allow forward FIND and POSITION on lists to elide checking :END
+ against length of the list if the element is found before the specified
+ END is reached. (thanks to Alec Berryman, lp#554385)
+ * bug fix: errors signalled during package graph modification no longer
+ block FIND-SYMBOL and FIND-PACKAGE in other threads. (lp#511072)
+ * bug fix: SB-POSIX build was broken when SBCL was compiled without the
+ :SB-DOC feature. (lp#552564)

+ * bug fix: Transforms for TRUNCATE don't die when the result is completely
+ ignored anymore.
+ * bug fix: Maybe restore buildability on Alpha.
+ * bug fix: READ-BYTE isn't inline anymore, fixing weird streams failures.
+ (lp#569404)
+ * bug fix: RANDOM-STATE can be printed readably again.
+ * bug fix: Unreadable objects were sometimes printed like #<\nFoo>.
+ * bug fix: Using EQL with non-constant values of constant type (e.g. EQL
+ types) could result in type mismatches during compilation.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+ * enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
+ stack frame thrown from.
+ * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
+ compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
+ * enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
+ translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
+ Weber)
+ * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
+ constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
+ access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
+ * optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
+ storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
+ for accessing such arrays.

+ * bug fix: Fix compiler error involving MAKE-ARRAY and IF forms
+ in :INITIAL-CONTENTS. (lp#523612)
+ * bug fix: FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION lost declarations from interpreted
+ functions. (lp#524707)

+ * bug fix: Breakpoints now work when using ud2 instead of int3 as trap
+ instruction (tested on x86oid linux with ud2-breakpoints).
+ * bug fix: slam.sh now works on win32.
+ * bug fix: better differences of numeric types. (lp#309124)
+ * bug fix: arrays declared intersection and union types can have their

+ * bug fix: SB-SPROF allocation profiling for all threads failed to profile
+ threads started during profiling. (lp#472499)
+ * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT test failure when building without SB-EVAL feature.
+ (lp#535658)
+ * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:DECLARATION-INFORMATION did not take
+ SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY into account. (lp#313337)
+ * bug fix: Comma inside a backquoted array or structure resulted in nonsense
+ values instead of signaling an error. (lp#309093)

+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.36 relative to sbcl-1.0.35:
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-1, SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND, and
+ SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-ALL behave exactly like their MACROEXPAND counterparts
+ but work on type specifiers.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINED-TYPE-NAME-P returns whether a symbol is known
+ to name a type specifier.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:VALID-TYPE-SPECIFIER-P returns whether a given type
+ specifier is valid where "valid" basically means "would be accepted as
+ second argument of TYPEP".
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-TYPE takes a function-designator and
+ returns the function's declared, or derived FTYPE.

+ bug lp#518696)
+ * bug fix: Fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
+ Bruce O'Neel.
+ * bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT sometimes signaled a deadline twice
+ in a row even though a handler defered the deadline long into the
+ future. (lp#512914)
+ * bug fix: A deadline handler was run without interrupts enabled for a
+ deadline signaled within SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT. That could result

+ launchpad bug lp#508485)
+ * bug fix: TRUNCATE with a single single-float or double-float argument is
+ properly inlined when possible. (launchpad bug lp#489388)

+ no longer causes a compiler error on x86 and ppc.
+ * bug fix: GET-MACRO-CHARACTER bogusly computed its second return value
+ always relative to *READTABLE* rather than the passed argument.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.34 relative to sbcl-1.0.33:
+ * minor incompatible change: threading support is now enabled by default
+ on x86[-64] Linux.
+ * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:DEFTYPE-LAMBDA-LIST now also works on most
+ builtin types.
+ * enhancement: Errors during compile-time-too processing (i.e. EVAL-WHEN)
+ are now caught and reported just like errors during macroexpansion.
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX now provides access to tcdrain(), tcflow(),
+ tcflush(), tcgetsid(), and tcsendbreak(). (thanks to Jerry James)
+ * enhancement: ASDF systems can now depends on SB-QUEUE.
+ * fixes and improvements related to Unicode and external formats:
+ ** bug fix: error handling and restart usage in the ucs-2 external format
+ has been improved.
+ ** there is now an implementation of the ucs-4 external format.
+ ** the utf-16 and utf-32 external formats are supported.
+ * bug fix: SB-POSIX wrapper for putenv no longer tries to put lisp strings
+ in the environment. setenv() and unsetenv() are also provided. (reported by
+ Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#460455)
+ * bug fix: LOAD of both .fasl and .FASL type files now forces fasl-style
+ loading. This ensures sensible errors for .FASL files from other
+ implementations on case-insensitive filesystems. (reported by Willem
+ Broekema; launchpad bug lp#489417)
+ * bug fix: #p"\\\\" can now be read without error on Win32. (reported by
+ Willem Broekema; launchpad bug lp#489698).

+ definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself.
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:WHO-SPECIALIZES-GENERALLY to get a list of
+ definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself, or on
+ subclasses of it.
+ * new build flag: :sb-xref-for-internals; SBCL will collect xref information
+ about itself during the build (e.g. for M-? in Slime), if this flag is
+ enabled in customize-target-features.lisp. This will increase the core
+ size by about 5-6mb, though, so it's mostly interesting to SBCL
+ developers.
+ * new feature: various GENCGC tuning parameters have been experimentally
+ documented and exported from SB-EXT. See documentation for details.
+ * fixes and improvements related to Unicode and external formats:
+ ** the Unicode character database has been upgraded to the
+ Unicode 5.2 standard, giving names and properties to a number of new
+ characters, and providing a few extra characters with case
+ transformations.
+ ** improvement: restarts for providing replacement input/output on coding
+ errors for fd-stream external formats.
+ ** improvement: where :<encoding> is a keyword corresponding to an
+ external format the system supports, it is now possible to specify
+ (:<encoding> :replacement <character>) as an external format which will
+ automatically substitute <character> on encoding or decoding errors for
+ streams and for STRING-TO-OCTETS and its inverse. (launchpad bug
+ lp#317072)
+ ** improvement: the file streams underlying the standard streams (such as
+ *STANDARD-INPUT*, *TERMINAL-IO*) are opened with an external format
+ which uses the replacement mechanism to handle encoding errors,
+ preventing various infinite error chains and unrecoverable I/O
+ confusion.
+ ** minor incompatible change: the utf-8 external format now correctly
+ refuses to encode Lisp characters in the surrogate range (char-codes
+ between #xd800 and #xdfff).
+ ** fix a typo preventing conversion of strings into octet vectors
+ in the latin-2 encoding. (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug
+ lp#471689)
+ ** fix a bug in the octet multibyte handling of decoding errors and the
+ USE-VALUE restart. (launchpad bug lp#314939)
+ ** fix the bug underlying the expected failure in the FORCE-END-OF-FILE
+ restart on fd-stream decoding errors.
+ ** fix a bug in the ATTEMPT-RESYNC fd-stream decoding restart when the
+ error is near the end of file.
+ ** fix a double-error case in unibyte octet conversions, when the first
+ use of USE-VALUE is ignored.
+ ** fix bugs in handling of undefined code points in unibyte encodings.
+ ** fix LISTEN (and consequent hangs in READ-CHAR-NO-HANG) on bivalent
+ streams after an UNREAD-CHAR.
+ * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also reports if the
+ object is allocated in a boxed region of dynamic space.
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX:FORK now signals an error if an attempt to
+ fork with multiple Lisp threads running is made, instead of going
+ ahead with unpredictable consequences. (reported by Leslie Polzer)
+ * bug fix: uses of slot accessors on specialized method parameters within
+ the bodies of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS methods no longer triggers a type
+ error while finalizing the class. This fix may cause classes with slot
+ accessors to be finalized later than previously. (reported by Lars Rune
+ Nøstdal; launchpad bug lp#473699)
+ * bug fix: restore buildability on the MIPS platform. (regression from
+ 1.0.30.38, reported by Samium Gromoff)
+ * bug fix: inspecting closures is less likely to fail with a type error.
+ * bug fix: no timer starvation when setting the system clock back.
+ (launchpad bug lp#460283)
+ * bug fix: WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX now binds *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* to the
+ standard pprint dispatch table as specified by CLHS.
+ * bug fix: give CLISP a hint about a type declaration to enable it to build
+ the cross-compiler without warnings. (thanks to Josh Elasser; launchpad
+ bug lp#396597)
+ * bug fix: correctly dump literal objects in defaulting forms of arglists.
+ (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug lp#310132)
+ * bug fix: distinguish in type specifiers between arrays that might be
+ complex and arrays that are definitely complex. (launchpad bug lp#309129)
+ * bug fix: SUBTYPEP knows that the SYMBOL type is not SUBTYPEP the KEYWORD
+ type. (reported by Levente Mészáros; launchpad bug lp#485972)
+ * bug fix: setting the value of a symbol-macro within a method in the
+ presence of type declarations works properly again. (reported by Iban
+ Hatchondo; launchpad bug lp#485019)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.32 relative to sbcl-1.0.31:
+ * optimization: faster FIND and POSITION on strings of unknown element type

+ in DEFMETHOD forms (reported by Pluijzer)
+ * bug fix: DELETE-FILE once again works on logical pathnames (regression
+ since 1.0.30.49)
+ * bug fix: LOGICAL-PATHNAME signals a TYPE-ERROR if pathspec is specified
+ incorrectly.

+ removes previous default initargs (reported by Lars Rune Nøstdal and
+ Samium Gromoff)
+ * bug fix: correct WHO-CALLS information for inlined lambdas with complex
+ lambda-lists. (reported by Peter Seibel)
+ * bug fix: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE option :SAVE-RUNTIME-OPTIONS did not work
+ correctly when starting from an executable core without saved runtime
+ options (reported by Faré Rideau, thanks to Zach Beane)
+ * bug fix: (SETF SLOT-VALUE) signalled a warning which should have been
+ an optimization note instead. (reported by Martin Cracauer)
+ * bug fix: WITH-SLOTS did not work with THE forms. (thanks to David Tolpin)
+ * bug fix: Have RUN-PROGRAM with :INPUT T only run the subprocess in a
+ new process group if it doesn't need to share stdin with the sbcl
+ process. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
+ * bug fix: SATISFIES could be misoptimized to refer to a local function.
+ (reported by Stanislaw Halik)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.31 relative to sbcl-1.0.30:
* improvement: stack allocation is should now be possible in all nested
inlining cases: failure to stack allocate when equivalent code is manually
open coded is now considered a bug.
+ * improvements related to Unicode:

multiplication by reciprocal when an exact reciprocal exists.
* optimization: multiplication of single- and double-floats floats by
constant two has been optimized.
