changes in sbcl-1.0.5 relative to sbcl-1.0.4:
* incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS
variants no longer cons.
* optimization: Direct calls to CHAR-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATERP} and
their NOT- variants no longer cons.
- * enhancement: XREF information is now collected to references made
+ * optimization: EQUAL hash tables no longer use SXHASH for objects
+ of all data types, but instead use an EQL hash for types for which
+ EQUAL is the same as EQL.
+ * optimization: the non-inlined generic versions of AREF and (SETF AREF)
+ are significantly faster.
+ * optimization: new STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM implementation is much
+ faster for large outputs and conses 30% less on average.
+ * enhancement: XREF information is now collected for references made
to global variables using SYMBOL-VALUE and a constant argument.
* enhancement: SIGINT now causes a specific condition
SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT to be signalled.
+ * bug fix: FILE-POSITION used to signal an error in some cases where
+ ANSI requires it to return NIL.
* bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY is now interrupt-safe.
* bug fix: adding and removing fd-handlers is now interrupt-safe.
* bug fix: inlined calls to C now ensure 16byte stack alignment on
line in a file is unlimited.
* bug fix: some GC deadlocks caused by asynchronous interrupts have
been fixed by inhibiting interrupts for when GC is disbled.
- * bug fix: GETHASH, (SETF GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH are now
- interrupt safe.
+ * bug fix: some interrupt safety issues with GETHASH, (SETF
+ GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH have been fixed.
* bug fix: binding *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS* to a value that is not a type
specifier no longer causes infinite recursion.
* bug fix: SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declarations no longer trigger a

* bug fix: a logic error was causing the hash function for bignums to

* bug fix: modifying the contents of an array could change the return
value of SXHASH on that array, which is only allowed for strings
- and bit vectors (bug introduced in 0.9.16)

+ * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests (except
+ for the debugger tests) but should still be considered
+ experimental until this is fixed.
* improvement: a style-warning is signaled for CASE (etc) clauses with

+ * improvement: macos/x86 and macos/x86-64 now use mach exception
+ handlers for dealing with illegal instructions (for trapping and
+ error handling) and memory protection violations (for GC).
changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3:
* new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS).
