changes in sbcl-0.8.5 relative to sbcl-0.8.4:
- * in full calls compiler does not generate checks for declared
+ * New code in contrib/sb-introspect (still probably not entirely
+ stable yet) provides some support for smart Lisp development
+ environments like SLIME.
+ * The conditions signalled for errors occurring when loading .fasl
+ files have been systematized (inheriting from SB-EXT:INVALID-FASL)
+ in a way which should help ASDF recover gracefully.
+ * The REQUIRE/PROVIDE behavior of *MODULE-PROVIDER-FUNCTIONS*
+ stuff has been cleaned up. If you code contrib/ stuff, this might
+ affect you, and you can look at contrib/README, contrib/STANDARDS,
+ and/or the 0.8.4.27 diff to check.
+ * In full calls the compiler now does not generate checks for declared
argument types for all arguments.
- * fix bug 282: compiler does not trust type assertions while passing
+ * various threading fixes
+ ** and some experimental patches which didn't make it into
+ the main tree for this release, but which are shipped in
+ contrib/experimental-thread.patch as a possible fix for some
+ failures (deadlock, spinning...) in GC-intensive multithreaded
+ applications.
+ * fixed PPC build problem (source code incompatibility of different
+ library versions): added offsetof() hackery which attempts to divine
+ where glibc maintainers put uc_mcontext today
+ * fixed bug 282: compiler does not trust type assertions while passing
arguments to a full call.
- * fix bug 261: compiler allows NIL or "no value" to be accepted for
+ * fixed bug 261: compiler allows NIL or "no value" to be accepted for
&OPTIONAL VALUES type parameter.
* fix bug 214: algorithm for noting rejected templates is now more
similar to that of template seletion. (also reported by rydis on
of its result.
* type declarations inside WITH-SLOTS are checked. (reported by
salex on #lisp)
- * loading incompatible FASLs, e.g. those produced by an incompatible
- lisp implementation, cause a condition of type SB-EXT:INVALID-FASL
- (a subtype of ERROR) to be raised.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** incorrect optimization of TRUNCATE for a positive first
argument and negative second.
** intersection of CONS types now canonicalizes properly, fixing
inconsistencies in SUBTYPEP.
+changes in sbcl-0.8.6 relative to sbcl-0.8.5:
+ * fixed a bootstrapping bug: the build process no longer assumes
+ that the various BOOLE-related constants have the same value in
+ host and target lisps. (noted by Paul Dietz' test suite on an
+ SBCL binary built from CLISP)
+ * the system can now be dynamically linked on the MIPS platform,
+ which enables dynamic loading of foreign code from Lisp. (thanks
+ to Ralf Baechle for discussions on the MIPS ABI)
+ * the system now records its own debugging information in a
+ filesystem-position-independent manner, relative to the "SYS"
+ logical host.
+ * fixed a compiler bug: MV-LET convertion did not check references
+ to the "max args" entry point. (reported by Brian Downing)
+ * tweaked disassembly notes to be less confident about proclaiming
+ some instruction as an LRA. (thanks to Brian Downing)
+ * contrib update: SB-ACLREPL is now threadsafe; multiple listeners
+ now each have their own history, command character, and other
+ characteristics. (thanks to David Lichteblau)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** compiler failure in compiling LOGAND expressions including a
+ constant 0.
+ ** implementation of ASH-MOD32 on X86 and PPC did not work for the
+ shift greater than 32.
+ ** FLUSH-DEST did not mark blocks for type check regeneration.
+ ** HANDLER-CASE failed to accept declarations in handler clauses
+ in some circumstances.

planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
down, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
