changes in sbcl-1.0.17 relative to 1.0.16:
+ * temporary regression: user code can no longer allocate closure
+ variable storage on stack, due to bug 419 without explicitly
+ requesting it. Please consult sbcl-devel for advice if you need to
+ use this feature in the meanwhile.
+ * new feature: runtime argument --control-stack-size can be used to
+ adjust thread default control stack size.
+ * enhancement: improved TIME output
+ ** all times are reported using the measured accuracy (milliseconds
+ for real and GC times, microseconds for everything else.)
+ ** processor cycle counts on x86 and x86-64.
+ ** interpreted forms are counted for both evaluator modes.
+ ** number of lambdas converted by the compiler is reported.
+ ** CPU percentage report (computed from real and total run time.)
+ ** more comprehensive run time reporting, using a condenced format
+ ** interperted form, lambda, and page fault counts are omitted
+ when zero.
* optimization: ADJOIN and PUSHNEW are upto ~70% faster in normal
SPEED policies.
* optimization: APPEND is upto ~10% faster in normal SPEED policies.
+ * optimization: two argument forms of LAST are upto ~10% faster
+ in normal SPEED policies.
+ * optimization: NCONC no longer needs to heap cons its &REST list
+ in normal SPEED policies.
+ * bug fix: UNION and NUNION work with :TEST-NOT once more,
+ regression since 1.0.9.1. (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: result of MAKE-ARRAY can be stack allocated - regression
+ since 1.0.15.36. (thanks to Paul Khuong)
+ * bug fix: LAST when always returned the whole list when given a bignum
+ as the second argument.
* bug fix: dynamic extent allocation of nested lists and vectors
could leak to otherwise accessible parts.
* bug fix: invalid optimization of heap-allocated alien variable
platform word lengths.
* bug fix: more correct assembler syntax for GNU binutils
2.18.50.0.4 support. (thanks to Marijn Schouten)
+ * bug fix: fix ECASE warnings from CMUCL-as-xc-host. (reported by
+ Andreas Franke)
changes in sbcl-1.0.16 relative to 1.0.15:
* minor incompatible change: revert the changes to sb-posix's error
