-changes relative to sbcl-1.0.35:
- * bug fix: fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+ * new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
+ SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
+ SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.
+ * enhancement: *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *STANDARD-INPUT*, and *ERROR-OUTPUT* are
+ now bivalent.
+ * enhancement: errors from NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD and
+ NO-PRIMARY-METHOD now have a RETRY restart available to retry the
+ generic function call.
+ * bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
+ * bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.
+ * bug fix: a semaphore with multiple waiters and some of them unwinding due
+ to timeouts could be left in an inconsistent state.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+ * enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
+ stack frame thrown from.
+ * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
+ compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
+ * enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
+ translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
+ Weber)
+ * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
+ constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
+ access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
+ * optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
+ storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
+ for accessing such arrays.
+ * optimization: passing NIL as the environment argument to TYPEP no longer
+ inhibits optimizing it. (lp#309788)
+ * optimization: more efficient register usage when handling single-float
+ arguments on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: ADJUST-ARRAY and STABLE-SORT on vectors no longer use
+ pre-allocated temporary vectors. (lp#496249)
+ * bug fix: Fix compiler error involving MAKE-ARRAY and IF forms
+ in :INITIAL-CONTENTS. (lp#523612)
+ * bug fix: FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION lost declarations from interpreted
+ functions. (lp#524707)
+ * bug fix: bogus style warnings from certain (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
+ WITH-SLOTS usages during compilation.
+ * bug fix: SB-C::CLASS-INFO now prints correctly. (lp#514762)
+ * enhancement: Can now build with ud2 instead of int3 as trap instruction on
+ all x86oid platforms with :UD2-BREAKPOINTS target feature.
+ * bug fix: Breakpoints now work when using ud2 instead of int3 as trap
+ instruction (tested on x86oid linux with ud2-breakpoints).
+ * bug fix: slam.sh now works on win32.
+ * bug fix: better differences of numeric types. (lp#309124)
+ * bug fix: arrays declared intersection and union types can have their
+ upgraded element type derived. (lp#316078)
+ * bug fix: SB-SPROF allocation profiling for all threads failed to profile
+ threads started during profiling. (lp#472499)
+ * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT test failure when building without SB-EVAL feature.
+ (lp#535658)
+ * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:DECLARATION-INFORMATION did not take
+ SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY into account. (lp#313337)
+ * bug fix: Comma inside a backquoted array or structure resulted in nonsense
+ values instead of signaling an error. (lp#309093)
+ * bug fix: Spurious unused variable warning in a DEFSTRUCT edge case.
+ (lp#528807)
+ * bug fix: More consistent warnings and notes for ignored DYNAMIC-EXTENT
+ declarations (lp#497321)
+ * bug fix: FIND and POSITION on lists did not check sequence bounds properly
+ and failed to detect circular lists (lp#452008)
+ * bug fix: leakage from ~/.asdf-install into the ASDf-INSTALL contrib build
+ (lp#538974)
+ * bug fix: LOOP OF-TYPE VECTOR compile-time error. (lp#540186)
+ * bug fix: SIGNAL SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT before entering the debugger
+ due to it, so that handlers can run.
+ * bug fix: reparsing undefined types if they have become defined since
+ parsing. (lp#309128)
+ * bug fix: missing &REST type in a proclamation for a function with both
+ &REST and &KEY in lambda-list caused miscompilation (lp#458354)
+ * bug fix: WHO-CALLS information for source-transformed and compiler-macro
+ expanded calls (lp#542174)
+ * bug fix: more accurate WHO-MACROEXPANDS information; point into rather
+ than just at toplevel form.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.36 relative to sbcl-1.0.35:
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-1, SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND, and
+ SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-ALL behave exactly like their MACROEXPAND counterparts
+ but work on type specifiers.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINED-TYPE-NAME-P returns whether a symbol is known
+ to name a type specifier.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:VALID-TYPE-SPECIFIER-P returns whether a given type
+ specifier is valid where "valid" basically means "would be accepted as
+ second argument of TYPEP".
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-TYPE takes a function-designator and
+ returns the function's declared, or derived FTYPE.
+ * new feature: SB-POSIX now supports accessing the d_ino member of
+ dirent structures. (Thanks to Philipp Marek and Pierre THEIRRY)
+ * new feature: The function SB-EXT:SEED-RANDOM-STATE has been added to
+ provide for seeding a RANDOM-STATE object with user-provided data or
+ from the operating system's PRNG. Also, (MAKE-RANDOM-STATE T) will
+ attempt to initialize the returned state from the operating system's
+ PRNG where possible. (Thanks to Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#310116)
+ * bug fix: Fix SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS:READ-VECTOR to correctly set the
+ FILE-POSITION of the stream being read from. (launchpad bug lp#491087)
+ * bug fix: Fix grammar and style issues for the docstrings of
+ printer-related variables and functions. (Thanks to mon_key; launchpad
+ bug lp#518696)
+ * bug fix: Fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
Bruce O'Neel.
* bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT sometimes signaled a deadline twice
in a row even though a handler defered the deadline long into the
future. (lp#512914)
- * bug fix: a deadline handler was run without interrupts enabled for a
+ * bug fix: A deadline handler was run without interrupts enabled for a
deadline signaled within SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT. That could result
in infinitely spinning, non-killable threads.
+ * bug fix: Backtrace from internal-errors on x86-64 os x was truncated
+ before reaching the erring stack frame.
+ * bug fix: Fix type derivation for EXPT when raising a fixnum to a
+ real power. (launchpad bug lp#525949)
+ * bug fix: Fix SB-EXT:GENERATION-* accessors for generations > 0 on
+ GENCGC platforms. (launchpad bug lp#529014)
+ * bug fix: More robust checks for invalid DEFMETHOD argument specializers.
+ (launchpad bug lp#525916)
+ * bug fix: Fix building on Darwin when sysctl is not in the user's PATH.
+ (Thanks to Robert Goldman)
