and that caused the system to bomb out with infinite regress
when trying to recover from type errors involving signed values,
e.g. (BUTLAST '(1 2 3) -1).)
-?? The system now uses code based on Colin Walters' O(N)
+* (BUTLAST NIL) and (NBUTLAST NIL) now return NIL as they should.
+ (This was one of the bugs Peter Van Eynde reported back in July.)
+* The system now uses code inspired by Colin Walters' O(N)
implementation of MAP (from the cmucl-imp@cons.org mailing
list, 2 September 2000) when it can't use a DEFTRANSFORM to
inline the MAP operation, and there is more than one
single sequence argument). (The old non-inline implementation
of the general M-argument sequence-of-length-N case required
O(M*N*N) time when any of the sequence arguments were LISTs.)
-?? Raymond Wiker's port of CMU CL's RUN-PROGRAM has been added.
-(?? Don't forget to mention Colin Walters and Raymond Wiker in the
- CREDITS file.)
-?? The debugger now flushes standard output streams before it begins
+* The QUIT :UNIX-CODE keyword argument has been renamed to
+ QUIT :UNIX-STATUS. (The old name still works, but is deprecated.)
+* Raymond Wiker's patches to port RUN-PROGRAM from CMU CL to SBCL
+ have been added.
+* Raymond Wiker's patches to port dynamic loading from Linux to
+ FreeBSD have been added.
+* The BUGS file is now more nearly up to date, thanks in large part
+ to Martin Atzmueller's review of it.
+* The debugger now flushes standard output streams before it begins
its output ("debugger invoked" and so forth).
+?? FINISH-OUTPUT now works better than it did before. (It used to
+ have trouble with characters which weren't followed by a linefeed.)
+ ?? Remember to remove this from BUGS.
?? The patch for the SUBSEQ bug reported on the cmucl-imp mailing
list 12 September 2000 has been applied to SBCL.
?? Martin Atzmueller's versions of two CMU CL patches, as posted on
a bug in SUBSEQ and <a bug in ??>.)
?? A bug in signal handling which kept TRACE from working on OpenBSD
has been fixed.
+ ?? Remember to remove this from the port-specific section of BUGS.
?? The signal handling bug reported by Martin Atzmueller on
sbcl-devel 13 September 2000, which caused the debugger to
get confused after a Ctrl-C interrupt under ILISP, has been fixed.
+?? added enough DEFTRANSFORMs to allow (SXHASH 'FOO) to be optimized
+ away by constant folding
+?? The system now defines its address space constants in one place
+ (in the Lisp sources), and propagates them automatically elsewhere
+ (through GENESIS and the sbcl.h file). Therefore, patching the
+ address map is less unnecessarily tedious and error-prone. The
+ Lisp names of address space constants have also been systematized.
+?? dollar-Header-dollar and other CVS magic tags have been removed
+ from the sources, because they have never saved me trouble and
+ they've been a nuisance working with patches and other
+ diff-related operations.
