* 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
allowed to return, which causes SBCL to quit with exit status 0. Previously
if the function returned with a small integer return value, that value
was accidentally reused as the exit status.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINE-HASH-TABLE-TEST allows defining new arguments
+ to MAKE-HASH-TABLE :TEST, and MAKE-HASH-TABLE has been extended with
+ :HASH-FUNCTION argument. Refer to user manual for details.
* new feature: SB-EXT:DEFGLOBAL macro allows defining global non-special
variables.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:GET-TIME-OF-DAY provides access to seconds and
+ microseconds since the Unix epoch on all platforms.
* new feature: SB-EXT:ALWAYS-BOUND proclamation inhibits MAKUNBOUND, and
allows the compiler to safely elide boundedness checks for special
variables.
* 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.
