+ * minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and
+ SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor
+ of SB-THREAD:THREAD-ERROR-THREAD.
+ * new contrib module: SB-QUEUE provides thread-safe lockless FIFO queues.
+ * new feature: docstrings for local and anonymous functions are no longer
+ discarded. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
+ * new feature: SB-THREAD:SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD provides access to symbol
+ values in other threads.
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information
+ about object allocation.
+ * optimization: MAKE-INSTANCE with non-constant class-argument but constant
+ keywords is an order of magnitude faster.
+ * optimization: more efficient type-checks for FIXNUMs when the value
+ is known to be a signed word on x86 and x86-64.
+ * optimization: compiler now optimizes (EXPT -1 INTEGER), (EXPT -1.0 INTEGER),
+ and (EXPT -1.0d0 INTEGER) into an ODDP test. (thanks to Stas Boukarev and
+ Paul Khuong)
+ * improvement: DESCRIBE output has been reworked to be easier to read and
+ contains more pertinent information.
+ * improvement: failure to provide requested stack allocation compiler notes
+ provided in all cases (requested stack allocation not happening without a
+ note being issued is now considered a bug.)
+ * optimization: compiler is smarter about delegating argument type checks to
+ callees.
+ * bug fix: on 64 bit platforms FILL worked incorrectly on arrays with
+ upgraded element type (COMPLEX SINGLE-FLOAT), regression from 1.0.28.55.
+ (thanks to Paul Khuong)
+ * bug fix: looping around HANDLER-CASE could silently consume stack space
+ on each iteration. (reported by "foobar")
+ * bug fix: better error signalling when calls to functions seeking elements
+ from lists (eg. ADJOIN) are compiled with both :TEST and :TEST-NOT.
+ (reported by Tobias Rittweiler)
+ * bug fix: regressions in DIRECTORY from 1.0.28.61: pattern matching of
+ directory components now works as it used to. (various prolems reported by
+ Michael Becker, Gabriel Dos Reis, Cyrus Harmon, and Harald Hanche-Olsen)
+ * bug fix: :PTY option in RUN-PROGRAM was broken with stream arguments.
+ (reported by Elliot Slaughter, thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+ * bug fix: bogus undefined variable warnings from fopcompiled references to
+ global variables. (thanks to Lars Rune Nøstdal)
+ * bug fix: foreign function names should now appear in backtraces on
+ FC6 as well. (reported by Tomasz Skutnik and obias Rautenkranz)
+ * bug fix: SETF compiler macro documentation strings are not discarded
+ anymore.
+ * bug fix: GENTEMP is now unaffected by pretty printer dispatch table.
+ (thanks to Alex Plotnick)
+ * bug fix: SLEEP accepts large integer arguments, truncating them to
+ SIGNED-WORD on the assumption that sleeping for 68 years is sufficient
+ for anyone. (reported by Leslie Polzer, thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.29 relative to 1.0.28:
+ * IMPORTANT: bug database has moved from the BUGS file to Launchpad
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl
+ Bugs can be reported directly there, or by sending email to
+ sbcl-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net
+ (no subscription required.)
* minor incompatible change: under weak type checking policy integer
types are weakened less aggressively.
* minor incompatible change: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE :TOPLEVEL function is now
* improvement: pretty-printing loop has been implemented properly. (thanks
to Tobias Rittweiler)
* documentation: CLOS slot typechecing policy has been documented.
+ * bug fix: FILE-AUTHOR no longer signals an error on Windows.
* bug fix: SB-SPROF could be foiled by foreign code not have a frame
pointer, leading to memory faults. (thanks to Bart Botta)
* bug fix: better floating point exception handling on x86/OpenBSD.
* bug fix: signals delivered to threads started from foreign land (read:
directly by pthread_create, not by MAKE-THREAD) are redirected to a Lisp
thread by blocking all signals and resignalling.
+ * bug fix: SHARED-INITIALIZE initialized unbound :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots
+ from :INITFORM, if any.
changes in sbcl-1.0.28 relative to 1.0.27:
* a number of bugs in cross-compilation have been fixed, with the ultimate
