changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
- * Enhancements for sbcl running on the Windows operating system:
- ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
- locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
- directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
- ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
- ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
- ** better backtrace support (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+ * minor incompatible change: in sbcl-0.9.11 (but not earlier
+ versions) SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE would recursively descend
+ into subclasses of the finalized class. Now user calls to
+ FINALIZE-INHERITANCE finalize just the one class, and calls by the
+ system return before any subclasses are finalized.
* minor incompatible change: The reader no longer ignores errors
regarding non-existent packages in #+ and #- feature tests.
* new feature: command line options --no-sysinit, --no-userinit to
inhibit loading the corresponding init files
+ * new feature: add a generic function SOCKET-SEND to SB-BSD-SOCKETS,
+ for sending data through UDP sockets (thanks to François-René Rideau)
* minor incompatible change: SIGPIPE is ignored and "Broken pipe"
error is signalled instead (thanks to François-René Rideau)
+ * minor incompatible change: Error signalling behaviour of lexical
+ operations violating package locks has changed slightly. Refer to
+ documentation on package locks for details.
+ * enhancement: EVAL can process IF-expressions without resorting to the
+ compiler.
+ * bug fix: Some operations involving SIN, COS, or TAN weren't being
+ constant-folded properly due to missing out-of-line functions.
+ (reported by Mika Pihlajamäki)
* bug fix: LISTEN sometimes returned T even in cases where no data was
immediately available from the stream
* fixed bug: types of the last two arguments to SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR
by Utz-Uwe Haus)
* bug fix: derivation of float boundaries from numbers outside the
appropriate float range (reported by John Wiseman)
+ * bug fix: MAKE-LOAD-FORM-SAVING-SLOTS accepts en empty slot name
+ list.
+ * bug fix: precomputing cache entries for generic functions with
+ some subclasses of specializers as yet invalid does not attempt to
+ fill a cache line with a negative offset. (reported by Levente
+ Mészároz)
* improvements to DOCUMENTATION for TYPE and STRUCTURE doc-types:
allow condition class objects as arguments to DOCUMENTATION and
(SETF DOCUMENTATION); only find and set documentation for
structure names for the STRUCTURE doc-type. (suggested by Gary
King)
+ * improvements to the Win32/x86 port:
+ ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
+ locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
+ directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
+ ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
+ ** better backtrace support (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+ ** sb-grovel supported
+ ** asdf-install and sb-posix work somewhat
+ ** capable of running Slime using SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE* NIL
+ * improvements to the Solaris/x86 port:
+ ** works on Solaris 11/Solaris Express
+ ** floating-point exception handling support
+ ** support for the breakpoint-based TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL facility
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
the method is not one of the generic functions' methods.
structure accessors.
** printing characters should simply be printed by the FORMAT ~:C
directive.
+ ** compiler failure when compiling functions with hairy constant
+ defaults for optional parameters.
+ ** compiler produces wrong code when MAYBE-INLINE-expanding a
+ function, which is already optimized.
changes in sbcl-0.9.11 relative to sbcl-0.9.10:
