half a dozen bug fixes in pretty-printing and the debugger, and
half a dozen others elsewhere
* fixed bug 13: Floating point infinities are now supported again.
-* fixed bug 45a: Various internal functions required to support
- complex special functions have been merged from CMU CL sources.
- (When I was first setting up SBCL, I misunderstood a compile-time
- conditional #-OLD-SPECFUN, and so accidentally deleted them.)
+ They might still be a little bit flaky, but thanks to bug reports
+ from Nathan Froyd and CMU CL patches from Raymond Toy they're not
+ as flaky as they were.
* The --noprogrammer command line option is now supported. (Its
behavior is slightly different in detail from what the old man
page claimed it would do, but it's still appropriate under the
handle many floating point and complex operations much less
inefficiently. (Thus e.g. you can implement a complex FFT
without consing!)
-* improved support for type intersection and union, fixing bug 12
- (e.g., now (SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL)=>T,T) and some other
- more obscure bugs as well
+* The compiler now detects type mismatches between DECLAIM FTYPE
+ and DEFUN better, and implements CHECK-TYPE more correctly, and
+ SBCL builds under CMU CL again despite its non-ANSI EVAL-WHEN,
+ thanks to patches from Martin Atzmueller.
* various fixes to make the cross-compiler more portable to
ANSI-conforming-but-different cross-compilation hosts (notably
Lispworks for Windows, following bug reports from Arthur Lemmens)
-* a new workaround to make the cross-compiler portable to CMU CL
- again despite its non-ANSI EVAL-WHEN, thanks to Martin Atzmueller
-* The compiler now detects type mismatches between DECLAIM FTYPE
- and DEFUN better, thanks to patches from Martin Atzmueller.
-* A bug in READ-SEQUENCE for CONCATENATED-STREAM has been fixed
- thanks to Pierre Mai's CMU CL patch.
-* new fasl file format version number (because of changes in byte
- code opcodes and in internal representation of (OR ..) types)
+* A bug in READ-SEQUENCE for CONCATENATED-STREAM, and a gross
+ ANSI noncompliance in DEFMACRO &KEY argument parsing, have been
+ fixed thanks to Pierre Mai's CMU CL patches.
+* fixes to keep the system from overflowing internal counters when
+ it tries to use i/o buffers larger than 16M bytes
+* fixed bug 45a: Various internal functions required to support
+ complex special functions have been merged from CMU CL sources.
+ (When I was first setting up SBCL, I misunderstood a compile-time
+ conditional #-OLD-SPECFUN, and so accidentally deleted them.)
+* improved support for type intersection and union, fixing bug 12
+ (e.g., now (SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL)=>T,T) and some other
+ more obscure bugs as well
+* Christophe Rhodes has made some debian packages of sbcl at
+ <http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/ftp/pub/debian/lisp>.
+ From his sbcl-devel e-mail of 2001-04-08 they're not completely
+ stable, but are nonetheless usable. When he's ready, I'd be happy
+ to add them to the SourceForge "File Releases" section. (And if
+ anyone wants to do RPMs or *BSD packages, they'd be welcome too.)
+* new fasl file format version number (because of changes in
+ internal representation of (OR ..) types to accommodate the new
+ support for (AND ..) types, among other things)
planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* The debugger prompt sequence now goes "5]", "5[2]", "5[3]", etc.
