+changes in sbcl-1.0.26 relative to 1.0.25:
+ * incompatible change: GC-OFF and GC-ON are removed, they were
+ always unsafe. Use WITHOUT-GCING instead.
+ * new feature: runtime option --disable-ldb
+ * new feature: runtime option --lose-on-corruption to die at the
+ slightest hint of possibly non-recoverable errors: running out of
+ memory, stack, alien stack, binding stack, encountering a memory
+ fault, etc. In the absence of --lose-on-corruption a warning is
+ printed to stderr.
+ * optimization: slightly faster gc on multithreaded builds
+ * optimization: faster WITHOUT-GCING
+ * bug fix: when JOIN-THREAD signals an error, do it when not holding
+ important locks so that the debugger/handler doesn't produce
+ recursive errors or deadlock.
+ * bug fix: real-time signals are not used anymore, so no more
+ hanging when the system wide real-time signal queue gets full.
+ * bug fix: finalizers, gc hooks never run in a WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS
+ * bug fix: fix deadlocks related to starting threads
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.25 relative to 1.0.24:
+ * incompatible change: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-ARGLIST is deprecated, to be
+ removed later. Please use SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-LAMBDA-LIST instead.
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:DEFTYPE-LAMBDA-LIST allows retrieval of
+ DEFTYPE lambda lists. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * enhancement: MUTEX-VALUE is to be superseded by MUTEX-OWNER that has a
+ better name and does not return values so stale on multiprocessor systems.
+ Also, HOLDING-MUTEX-P was added for about the only sane usage of
+ MUTEX-OWNER.
+ * improvement: unithread builds keep track of MUTEX-VALUE.
+ * improvement: reading from a TWO-WAY-STREAM does not touch the output
+ stream anymore making it thread safe to have a concurrent reader and
+ a writer, for instance, in a pipe.
+ * improvement: GET-SETF-EXPANDER avoids adding bindings for constant
+ arguments, making compiler-macros for SETF-functions able to inspect
+ their constant arguments.
+ * improvement: COMPILE-FILE reports times with millisecond accuracy
+ (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
+ * optimization: CHAR-CODE type derivation has been improved, making
+ TYPEP elimination on subtypes of CHARACTER work better. (reported
+ by Tobias Rittweiler, patch by Paul Khuong)
+ * bug fix: setting alien structure fields of type struct by value now
+ computes the right offset for the memory copy.
+ * bug fix: compilation problem involving inlined calls to aliens with
+ result type VOID. (reported by Ken Olum)
+ * bug fix: #235a; sequential inline expasion in different policies no
+ longer reuses the functional from the previous expansion site.
+ * bug fix: DEFTYPE no longer breaks on bodies consisting of a single
+ unquoted symbol. Regression from 1.0.22.8. (reported by Ariel Badichi)
+ * bug fix: named ENUMs in multiply-referenced alien record types no longer
+ cause an implied type redefinition. Regression from 1.0.21.29.
+ * bug fix: sign-extension of small signed return values now works with C
+ code compiled with gcc 4.3 or newer. (reported by Liam Healy)
+ * improvements to the Windows port:
+ ** SB-BSD-SOCKETS now works from saved cores as well. (reported by Stephen
+ Westfold, thanks to Rudi Schlatte)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.24 relative to 1.0.23:
+ * new feature: ARRAY-STORAGE-VECTOR provides access to the underlying data
+ vector of a multidimensional SIMPLE-ARRAY.
+ * new feature: the system now signals a continuable error if standard
+ readtable modification is attempted. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * new feature: DIRECTORY has been extended with a non-standard keyword
+ argument :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS. (thanks to TC-Rucho)
+ * enhancement: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:MAKE-SOCKET-STREAM keyword argument handling
+ has been robustified and documented better. (thanks to Robert Goldman)
* optimization: faster generic arithmetic dispatch on x86 and x86-64.
+ * optimization: FORMAT ~D and ~F are now approximately 5% faster.
+ * tradeoff: constant FORMAT control strings are now compiled unless
+ SPACE > SPEED (previously only when SPEED > SPACE.)
+ * bug fix: Red Hat Enterprise 3 mmap randomization workaround. (thanks
+ to Thomas Burdick)
+ * bug fix: DEFCLASS and ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS are now expected to
+ be thread safe.
* bug fix: lexical type declarations are now correctly reported by
SB-CLTL2. (reported by Larry D'Anna)
* bug fix: STRING-TO-OCTETS did not handle :START properly when
using UTF-8 as external format. (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
+ * bug fix: errors from invalid fill-pointer values to (SETF FILL-POINTER)
+ are signalled correctly. (thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * bug fix: SET-MACRO-CHARACTER accepts NIL as the readtable
+ designator. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * bug fix: SET-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER accepts NIL as the readtable
+ designator, and returns T instead of the function. (thanks to
+ Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * bug fix: direct superclasses of STANDARD-CLASS and
+ FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS now default to STANDARD-OBJECT and
+ FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT as required by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: compiling a call to SLOT-VALUE with a constant slot-name
+ when no class with the named slot yet exists no longer causes a
+ compile-time style-warning.
+ * bug fix: :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots are type-checked properly
+ in safe code. (reported by Didier Verna)
+ * bug fix: #430; nested structure constructors can stack allocate.
+ * bug fix: on some 64-bit platforms dynamic space size was truncated
+ to #xffff0000 bytes. (reported by Benjamin Lambert)
+ * bug fix: setting *READ-SUPPRESS* to T no longer renders the default
+ REPL unusable. (reported by Daniel Herring)
+ * bug fix: return values of READ-SEQUENCE did not take :START into
+ account on file streams, regressions since 1.0.12.22. (reported by
+ Thomas Russ, patch by Paul Khuong)
+ * bug fix: using SET or (SETF SYMBOL-VALUE) to change the value of a
+ method specializer used to confuse permuation vector optimization.
+ * bug fix: system inserted bogus implicit type declarations for local
+ special variables in DEFMETHOD bodies.
+ * bug fix: #354; duplicated frames in backtraces due to
+ non-tail-call-optimized XEPs to functions with return type NIL
+ have been elimited.
+ * bug fix: #357; MAKE-INSTANCE/SHARED-INITIALIZE now
+ initializes structure object slots according to DEFSTRUCT initforms,
+ and DEFSTRUCT forms :INCLUDEind structure classes defined using
+ DEFCLASS :METACLASS STRUCTURE-CLASS now inherit their initforms.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible and Stephen Wilson)
+ * bug fix: #395; fill-pointer output streams used now support
+ element-type BASE-CHAR as well.
+ * bug fix: compiler error when attempting to derive return value of
+ ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE when the array type was a union of intersection
+ types.
+ * bug fix: address-spaces overlapped on OpenBSD. (thanks to Josh
+ Elsasser)
+ * bug fix: Mac OS X binaries should now be portable between Leopard
+ and Tiger.
changes in sbcl-1.0.23 relative to 1.0.22:
* enhancement: when disassembling method functions, disassembly
type is not know sufficiently well a compile-time are now compiled
correctly. (reported by John Morrison)
* bug fix: compiler no longer makes erronous assumptions in the
- presense of non-foldable SATISFIES types.
+ presence of non-foldable SATISFIES types.
* bug fix: stack analysis missed cleanups of dynamic-extent
arguments in non-let-converted calls to local functions.
* improvements to the Windows port:
* minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:NAME-SERVICE-ERROR now
inherits from ERROR instead of just CONDITION.
* new feature: SB-INTROSPECT can provide source locations for instances
- as well. (thanks to Tobian Ritterweiler)
+ as well. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
* optimization: binding special variables now generates smaller code
on threaded platforms.
* optimization: MEMBER and ASSOC are over 50% faster for :TEST #'EQ
default, and DISABLE-DEBUGGER and ENABLE-DEBUGGER also affect
the low-level debugger.
* enchancement: RUN-PROGRAM is now able to extract the file-descriptor
- from SYNONYM-STREAM and TWO-WAY-STEAMS provided they can be decomposed
+ from SYNONYM-STREAM and TWO-WAY-STREAM provided they can be decomposed
down to an SB-SYS:FD-STREAM, allowing direct communication in
more cases. Temporary files and pipes are still used as a fallback
strategy.
