+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+ * enhancement: MUTEX-VALUE is to be superseded by MUTEX-OWNER that has a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
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:
