some time ago.
changes in sbcl-0.6.11 relative to sbcl-0.6.10:
+* Martin Atzmueller pointed out that bugs #9 and #25 are gone in
+ current SBCL.
+* bug 34 fixed by Martin Atzmueller: dumping/loading instances works
+ better
+* 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).
* The Gray subclassable streams extension now works, thanks to a
patch from Martin Atzmueller.
+* DESCRIBE now works on structure objects again.
+* Compiler output is now more verbose, with messages truncated
+ later than before. (There should be some supported way for users
+ to override the default verbosity, but I haven't decided how to
+ provide it yet, so this behavior is still controlled by the internal
+ SB-C::*COMPILER-ERROR-PRINT-FOO* variables in
+ src/compiler/ir1util.lisp.)
* 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
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.
-* DESCRIBE now works on structure objects again.
+* LOAD-FOREIGN (and LOAD-1-FOREIGN) now support logical pathnames,
+ as per Daniel Barlow's suggestion and Martin Atzmueller's patch
* Fasl file format version numbers have increased again, because
- support for the Gray streams extension changes the format of the
- system's stream objects.
+ support for the Gray streams extension changes the layout 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.
