that the various BOOLE-related constants have the same value in
host and target lisps. (noted by Paul Dietz' test suite on an
SBCL binary built from CLISP)
+ * The system can now be dynamically linked on the MIPS platform,
+ which enables dynamic loading of foreign code from Lisp. (thanks
+ to Ralf Baechle for discussions on the MIPS ABI)
+ * The system now records debugging information for its own source
+ files in a filesystem-position-independent manner, relative to
+ the "SYS" logical host.
+ * fixed a compiler bug: MV-LET convertion did not check references
+ to the "max args" entry point. (reported by Brian Downing)
+ * tweaked disassembly notes to be less confident about proclaiming
+ some instruction as an LRA. (thanks to Brian Downing)
+ * contrib update: SB-ACLREPL is now threadsafe; multiple listeners
+ now each have their own history, command character, and other
+ characteristics. (thanks to David Lichteblau)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** compiler failure in compiling LOGAND expressions including a
+ constant 0
+ ** Implementation of ASH-MOD32 on X86 and PPC did not work for the
+ shift greater than 32.
+ ** FLUSH-DEST did not mark blocks for type check regeneration.
+ ** HANDLER-CASE failed to accept declarations in handler clauses
+ in some circumstances.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.7 relative to sbcl-0.8.6:
+ * bug fix: GET-SETF-EXPANSION no longer throws an internal type
+ error when called without an explicit environment argument.
+ (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+ * bug fix: buffered :DIRECTION :IO streams are less likely to become
+ confused about their position. (thanks to Adam Warner and Gerd
+ Moellmann)
+ * ASDF-INSTALL bug fix: now parses *PROXY* properly. (thanks to
+ Sean Ross)
+ * SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS enhancement: simple-streams can now be used as
+ streams for the REPL, for the debugger, and so on. (thanks to
+ David Licteblau)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** the value of the :REHASH-THRESHOLD argument to MAKE-HASH-TABLE
+ is ignored if it is too small, rather than propagating through
+ to cause DIVIDE-BY-ZERO or FLOATING-POINT-OVERFLOW errors.
+ ** extremely complex negations of CONS types were not being
+ sufficiently canonicalized, leading to inconsistencies in
+ SUBTYPEP.
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
