and there's no compelling reason to try to stretch the standard
to allow two different extensions.) Instead, byte-compiled files
default to the same extension as native-compiled files.
-?? #'(SETF DOCUMENTATION) is now defined.
+* Fasl file format version numbers have increased again, because
+ a rearrangement of internal implementation packages made some
+ dumped symbols in old fasl files unreadable in new cores.
+* DECLARE/DECLAIM/PROCLAIM logic is more nearly ANSI in general, with
+ many fewer weird special cases.
* Bug #17 (differing COMPILE-FILE behavior between logical and
physical pathnames) has been fixed, and some related misbehavior too,
thanks to a patch from Martin Atzmueller.
+* Bug #30 (reader problems) is gone, thanks to a CMU CL patch
+ by Tim Moore, ported to SBCL by Martin Atzmueller.
+* Martin Atzmueller fixed several filesystem-related problems,
+ including bug #36, in part by porting CMU CL patches, which were
+ written in part by Paul Werkowski.
* More compiler warnings in src/runtime/ are gone, thanks to
- patches from Martin Atzmueller.
+ more patches from Martin Atzmueller.
+* Martin Atzmueller pointed out that bug 37 was fixed by his patches
+ some time ago.

+changes in sbcl-0.6.11 relative to sbcl-0.6.10:
+* The Gray subclassable streams extension now works, thanks to a
+ patch from Martin Atzmueller.
+* The full LOAD-FOREIGN extension (not just the primitive
+ LOAD-FOREIGN-1) now works, thanks to a patch from Martin Atzmueller.
+* The default behavior of RUN-PROGRAM has changed. Now, unlike CMU CL
+ but like most other programs, it defaults to copying the Unix
+ environment from the original process instead of starting the
+ new process in an empty environment.
+* fixed bug 40: TYPEP, SUBTYPEP, UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE,
+ and UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE now work better with of compound
+ types built from undefined types, e.g. '(VECTOR SOME-UNDEF-TYPE).
+* Extensions which manipulate the Unix environment now support
+ an :ENVIRONMENT keyword option which doesn't smash case or
+ do other bad things. The CMU-CL-style :ENV option is retained
+ for porting convenience.
+* LOAD-FOREIGN (and LOAD-1-FOREIGN) now support logical pathnames,
+ as per Daniel Barlow's suggestion and Martin Atzmueller's patch
+* DESCRIBE now works on structure objects again.
+* Fasl file format version numbers have increased again, because
+ support for the Gray streams extension changes the format of the
+ system's stream objects.
planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* The debugger prompt sequence now goes "5]", "5[2]", "5[3]", etc.
instead of the old "5]", "5]]", "5]]]" sequence. (I was motivated
to do this when ILISP and SBCL got into arguments which left me
deeply nested in the debugger.)
+* When the profiling interface settles down, it might impact TRACE.
+ They both encapsulate functions, and it's not clear yet how
+ e.g. UNPROFILE will interact with TRACE and UNTRACE. (This shouldn't
+ matter, though, unless you are using profiling.)
