* The runtime build system has been tweaked to support building
(on SPARC/SunOS) using a C compiler which invokes Sun's own
assembler and linker. (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+ * Unbound, undefined, undeclared variables now trigger full
+ WARNINGs, not just STYLE-WARNINGs, on the assumption that this is
+ more often programmer error than deliberate exploitation of undefined
+ behaviour.
+ * optimization: the hash algorithm for strings has changed to one
+ that is less vulnerable to spurious collisions. (thanks to Juho
+ Snellman)
+ * optimization: VECTOR-POP, VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND and REPLACE do less
+ needless bounds checking. (thanks to Juho Snellman)
* optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the PPC backend.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** Printing symbols with *PRINT-CASE* :CAPITALIZE respects the
description of determination of which consecutive characters
constitute a word.
+ ** Printing the "Space" character with escaping on now yields "#\\ ",
+ rather than "#\\Space", as mandated by ANSI 22.1.3.2.
+ ** Reading floating-point numbers with *READ-BASE* set to a number
+ less than 10 works correctly.
+ ** Reading floating-point numbers with *READ-BASE* set to a number
+ more than 10 works correctly.
+ ** Printing with *PRINT-READABLY* targets the standard readtable, not
+ the readtable currently in effect.

+changes in sbcl-0.8.10 relative to sbcl-0.8.9:
+ * bug fix: compiler emitted division in optimized DEREF. (thanks for
+ the test case to Dave Roberts)
+ * bug fix: multidimensional simple arrays loaded from FASLs had fill
+ pointers. (reported by Sean Ross)
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
