As a consequence of this change, the :IF-EXISTS :NEW-VERSION
option to OPEN now signals an error if the file being opened
exists; this may have an impact on existing code.
+ * fixed bug 190: RUN-PROGRAM should now work properly, respecting
+ signals received, on the PowerPC platforms (both Linux and
+ Darwin). (thanks to Pierre Mai for pointing out the location of
+ the error)
+ * several fixes on OS X: The system now builds and runs cleanly on
+ Panther (10.3), and works around sigreturn bug (no more SIGFPEs).
+ (thanks to Brian Mastenbrook)
* bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now accepts timezone arguments with
second-resolution: integer multiples of 1/3600 between -24 and 24.

behaviour, and in particular no longer treats all memory as being
exhausted when many small objects point to each other in a deeply
recursive manner.
+ * bug fix: arrays specialized on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 15) are now
+ recognized as being TYPEP their class.
+ * bug fix: the PUSHNEW documentation string has been corrected.
+ (thanks to Vincent Arkesteijn)
+ * bug fix: defaulting of the value for the last of an atypically
+ large number of multiple values being bound was not being
+ performed correctly on the Alpha or PPC platforms
* optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the x86 backend.
* optimization: SEARCH on simple-base-strings can now be open-coded.
(see also contrib/compiler-extras.lisp for inspiration for
teaching the compiler about the Boyer-Moore algorithm).
+ * value, returned by MAX (and MIN) called with several EQUALP, but
+ not EQL, arguments now does not depend on compiler settings.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** in stack analysis liveness information is propagated from
non-local entry points.
signal a TYPE-ERROR if their argument is not a stream.
** READ-BYTE and WRITE-BYTE signal a TYPE-ERROR if their stream
designator argument does not designate a stream.
+ ** OPEN-STREAM-P and INPUT-STREAM-P on synonym streams work by
+ examining the synonym.
+ ** STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE and FRESH-LINE on broadcast-streams now
+ work as specified.
+ ** OPEN and WITH-OPEN-STREAM allow opening streams with
+ element-type larger than ([UN]SIGNED-BYTE 32).

+changes in sbcl-0.8.9 relative to sbcl-0.8.8:
+ * 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)
