changes in sbcl-0.9.19 (1.0.0?) relative to sbcl-0.9.18:
+ * improvement: runtime option --dynamic-space-size can be used
+ to set the size of the dynamic space reserved on startup.
* improvement: floating point modes in effect are now saved in
core, and restored on startup.
* improvement: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME now reports the time since
startup, not time since first call to GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME.
+ * improvement: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE explicitly checks that multiple
+ threads are not running after *SAVE-HOOKS* have run.
+ * improvement: writes to CLOS instance slots are type-checked in code
+ compiled with (SAFETY 3)
+ * improvement: floating-point exception handling on FreeBSD (thanks to
+ NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * improvement: SB-POSIX supports time(2), utime(2) and utimes(2)
+ (thanks to Zach Beane)
+ * improvement: support for files larger than 2GB for CL streams and SB-POSIX
+ on Linux/x86
+ * improvement: added support for the Shift-JIS external format.
+ (contributed by NIIMI Satoshi)
* bug fix: compiler bug triggered by a (non-standard) VALUES
declaration in a LET* was fixed. (reported by Kaersten Poeck)
* bug fix: file compiler no longer confuses validated and already
fill-pointer signals a type-error as required. (thanks to
Lars Brinkhoff)
* bug fix: disassemly of funcallable instances works.
- * improvements to the Windows port:
+ * bug fix: single stepping on PPC.
+ * bug fix: fix thread-safety problems in the type system (generally
+ manifesting as nonsensical errors like "STRING is a bad type specifier
+ for sequences" or "The value 1 is not of type FIXNUM")
+ * bug fix: version components are handled correctly in TRANSLATE-PATHNAME
+ (reported by Josip Gracin)
+ * bug fix: an error is signaled for attempts to displace arrays with
+ incompatible element types (thanks to Mario Mommer)
+ * optimization: method calls with &OPTIONAL or &KEY arguments are faster
+ and don't cause extra consing
+ * Improvements to the Windows port:
** floating point exceptions are now reported correctly.
** stack exhaustion detection works partially.
** more accurate GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME.
