-changes relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
+ * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
+ the working directory of the spawned process.
+ (lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
+ * bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
+ of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
+ (lp#1096444)
+ * bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
+ sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
+ decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
+ * optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
+ * enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
+ (lp#457053)
+ * bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
+ (lp#1049404)
+ * bug fix: redefining conditions does not lead to multiple evaluations of
+ hairy slot initfunctions anymore (lp#1164969)
+ * bug fix: CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS now works for condition classes
+ (lp#1164970)
+ * bug fix: function constants now work as initforms and default initarg
+ values of conditions (lp#539517)
+ * bug fix: svref/(setf svref) on symbol macros don't crash the compiler
+ anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
+ * bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
+ forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
+ * bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function)
+ "doc"). Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation
+ of NIL for all other documentation types. (Reported by Zach
+ Beane; regression since 2e52fa05.)
+ * bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
+ should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination. (Reported by
+ Eric Marsden).
+ * bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
+ the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
+ robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
+ * optimization: LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.6 relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
+ * enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant
+ fndb entries can be ignored by passing :overwrite-fndb-silently t
+ as a keyword argument to sb-c:defknown (after attributes). Useful
+ to allow defknown to be re-loaded. Use with :allow-other-keys t
+ for backward compatibility.
+ * optimization: compiler is much faster in compiling SVREF and (SETF SVREF)
+ forms.
+ * bug fix: Prevent a make-array transform from modifying source forms
+ causing problems for inlined code. Thanks to Bart Botta.
+ (regression since 1.0.42.11-bis)
+ * bug fix: clear-output calls the correct gray stream routine,
+ sb-gray:stream-clear-output. (lp#1153257)
+ * bug fix: an error is signalled for an invalid format modifier: ~<~@>.
+ (lp#1153148)
+ * bug fix: Better error messages for package operations (lp#1154776)
+ * bug fix: delete-package on a nonexistent package should signal a cerror.
+ (regression since 1.0.37.44).
+ * bug fix: accessing &MORE (stack allocated &REST) arguments checks bounds.
+ (lp#1154946, lp#1072112)
+ * bug fix: compiling make-array no longer signals an error when the
+ element-type is an uknown type, a warning is issued instead.
+ Thanks to James Kalenius (lp#1156095)
+ * bug fix: SEARCH on generic (non-VECTOR non-LIST) sequence types no longer
+ produces wrong results for some inputs. (Thanks to Jan Moringen.)
+ (lp#1153312)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.5 relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING no longer loops
+ by default.
+ * new feature: package local nicknames. See manual for details.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:MAP-DIRECTORY provides a powerful interface for
+ directory traversal: it is the backend used by SBCL for CL:DIRECTORY.
+ * enhancement: easier to use restarts for resolving name-conflicts
+ resulting from IMPORT, EXPORT, or USE-PACKAGE.
+ * enhancement: variant DEFPACKAGE forms now signal a full error with
+ restarts provided for resolving the situation. (lp#891351)
+ * enhancement: by setting SB-EXT:*ON-PACKAGE-VARIANCE* appropriately variant
+ DEFPACKAGE forms can now signal a full error with restarts provided for
+ resolving the situation. See manual for details. (lp#891351)
+ * enhancement: make-random-state now uses CryptGenRandom as a seed on Windows.
+ (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.) (lp#1102748)
+ * enhancement: backtrace improvements
+ ** secondary CLOS dispatch functions have better debug names (lp#503081)
+ ** easier to read method names in backtraces. See
+ SB-DEBUG:*METHOD-FRAME-STYLE*.
+ ** SB-DEBUG:PRINT-BACKTRACE and SB-DEBUG:LIST-BACKTRACE are available as
+ forwards-compatible replacements for SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE and
+ SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST.
+ ** SB-DEBUG:*SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS** has been deprecated, as the same
+ information is available in less intrusive form as frame annotations.
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX now provides MAP-ANON.
+ * enhancement: test-suite results are colorized, failures in red, unexpected
+ success in green. Works on Windows and on terminals with ANSI escape code
+ support. Can be disabled with --no-color.
+ * optimization: SB-CONCURRENCY:QUEUE implementation is more efficient.
+ (thanks to James M. Lawrence)
+ * bug fix: no more unused variable style warnings from RESTART-CASE
+ macroexpansion (lp#1113859)
+ * bug fix: no more unused variable style warnings when loading
+ sb-bsd-sockets.asd (lp#1114681)
+ * bug fix: deleting a package removes it from implementation-package
+ lists of other packages.
+ * bug fix: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING is now usable in the Slime REPL on Darwin.
+ This does not fix the occasional "interrupt already pending" issue, though.
+ * bug fix: (setf (documentation 'x 'function)) and
+ (setf (documentation #'x t)) set documentation in different places.
+ (regression since 1.0.43.63)
+ * bug fix: build on newer glibc. (lp#1095036)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.4 relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
* optimization: LOOP expressions using "of-type character" have slightly
more efficient expansions.
* bug fix: very long (or infinite) constant lists in DOLIST do not result
