changes in sbcl-0.8.11 relative to sbcl-0.8.10:
+ * minor incompatible change: the sb-grovel contrib now treats C
+ structures as alien (in the sense of SB-ALIEN) objects rather than
+ as undistinguished (simple-array (unsigned-byte 8) (*))s. This
+ has implications for memory management of client code
+ (sb-grovel-returned objects must now be manually managed) and for
+ type safety (alien objects now have full types).
* new feature: the SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration should be
used to control emission of compiler diagnostics, rather than the
SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS OPTIMIZE quality. See the manual for
documentation on this feature. The SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS
quality should be considered deprecated.
+ * install.sh now installs the user manual as well
+ * (not quite a new documentable feature, but worth considering in
+ the light of the new SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration): the
+ beginnings of a semantically meaningful condition hierarchy is
+ under development, for use in SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS and by
+ IDEs.
+ * fixed bug: Displaced arrays whose displaced-to array has become
+ too small now cause ARRAY-DIMENSION to signal an error, providing
+ for safer bounds-checking. (reported by Bruno Haible)
* fixed bug: DEFCLASS slot definitions with identical :READER and
:WRITER names now signal a reasonable error. (reported by Thomas
Burdick)
* fixed bugs 280 and 312: the checking for multiple definitions in a
file is less likely to become confused by uses of inline
functions.
+ * fixed bug: the #S reader macro performs the keyword coercion
+ specified for slot names. (reported by Kalle Niemitalo)
+ * fixed bug: lambda lists may contain symbols whose names start with
+ & but are not lambda-list-keywords; their occurrence triggers a
+ STYLE-WARNING.
+ * fixed bug 321: define-method-combination argument lambda lists do
+ not cause invalid code to be generated when &optional or &aux
+ variables have default values. (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ * fixed bug 327: system subclasses of STRUCTURE-OBJECT or CONDITION
+ have CLOS classes; this appears also to have fixed reported
+ instability in stack exhaustion detection.
* optimization: rearranged the expansion of various defining macros
so that each expands into only one top-level form in a
:LOAD-TOPLEVEL context; this appears to decrease fasl sizes by
returning a known number of arguments greater than 63.
** fixed handling of invalid NIL arguments in keyword position
in local calls.
+ ** fixed non-pretty printing of arrays with *PRINT-RADIX* being
+ true.
+ ** provided a readably-printable representation for RANDOM-STATE
+ objects.
+ ** ensured that pathnames, where they have a namestring, always
+ print using #P"..." syntax.
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
