* incompatible change: the --noprogrammer option, deprecated since
version 0.7.5, has been removed. Please use the equivalent
--disable-debugger option instead.
+ * incompatible change: finalizers and *AFTER-GC-HOOKS* are now run with
+ interrupts enabled.
+ * incompatible change: support for *BEFORE-GC-HOOKS* (that have been
+ inoperational for a while now) has been completely removed.
+ * Null lexical environments are now printed as #<NULL-LEXENV>,
+ significantly reducing the amount of clutter in typical backtraces.
* optimization: REPLACE on declared (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) vectors, as well
as other specialized array types, is much faster. SUBSEQ and
COPY-SEQ on such arrays have also been sped up.
+ * fixed bug: finalizers are now thread-safe. (thanks to Gabor Mellis)
+ * fixed bug: finalizers and after GC hooks that cause consing are now
+ safe.
+ * fixed bug: compiler error messages and summaries are now printed to
+ *ERROR-OUTPUT*, not *STANDARD-OUTPUT*.
* fixed inference of the upper bound of an iteration variable.
(reported by Rajat Datta).
+ * fixed bug 373: caused by erronous compilation of references to alien
+ variables in the runtime on ppc/darwin.
* fixed bug 376: CONJUGATE type deriver.
* fixed infinite looping of ALIEN-FUNCALL, compiled with high DEBUG.
(reported by Baughn on #lisp)
+ * a cross-compiler bug on non-x86 platforms has been identified and
+ fixed. (thanks to Bruno Haible)
+ * improvements to the MIPS runtime code for increased stability.
+ (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+ * increased the maximimum compact environment size to allow
+ purify on images with large amounts of functions. (thanks to Cyrus Harmon)
+ * partial workaround for bug 135: don't name the function we're
+ calling for hairy cases of EVAL, so as not to accumulate one environment
+ entry per call to EVAL. (reported by Kevin Reid)
+ * improvements to the x86-64 disassembler. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: type testing for non-vector arrays should be faster.
+ * fixed TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL, added support for :ENCAPSULATE NIL
+ on x86-64
+ * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
+ ** the restarts for recovering from input and output encoding
+ errors only appear when there is in fact such an error to
+ handle.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** MISC.549 and similar: late transformation of unsafe type
assertions into derived types caused unexpected code
