+changes in sbcl-0.9.7 relative to sbcl-0.9.6:
+ * minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
+ GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are no longer generic functions, and
+ therefore are not customizeable by user code (as seems to be at
+ least permitted and maybe required by AMOP). As a consolation,
+ however, the SBCL implementation of these functions now calls
+ REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE as specified by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE on generic functions calls
+ COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION (almost) unconditionally, as
+ specified by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: it is now possible to have more than one subclass of
+ STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION without causing stack overflow.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible, Pascal Costanza and others)
+ * bug fix: the dependent update protocol now works for generic
+ functions. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann; reported by Bruno Haible
+ and Pascal Costanza)
+ * bug fix: *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* now contains the user's pathname
+ merged with *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*.
+ * enhancement: the x86-64 disassembler is much better at
+ disassembling SSE instructions. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: improved performance of EUC-JP external format.
+ (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * optimization: performance improvements to IO on file streams of
+ :ELEMENT-TYPE CHARACTER
+ * optimization: much faster memory allocation on x86-64
+ * optimization: faster garbage collections (latency and throughput)
+ on gencgc
+
changes in sbcl-0.9.6 relative to sbcl-0.9.5:
* bug fix: add a workaround to SBCL looping infinitely at startup on
Linux kernels with apparently buggy implementations of personality().
on platforms supporting dynamic-extent allocation.
* enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now supported
on MIPS/Linux in addition to the previously supported platforms.
- * bug fix: COMPUTE-RESTARTS returns all active restarts, including those
- with :TEST, when called without a condition. (reported by Helmut Eller for
- CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: FIND-RESTART now tests for activity, not applicability when given
+ a restart object as identifier. (reported by Helmut Eller for CMUCL)
* bug fix: division by zero in sb-sprof when no samples were collected
* bug fix: a race when a slow to arrive sigprof signal killed sbcl
* bug fix: asdf-install uses CRLF as required by the HTTP spec.
(thanks to Richard Kreuter)
* bug fix: defining classes whose accessors are methods on existing
generic functions in other (locked) packages no longer signals
- bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
+ bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
* bug fix: special variables as DEFMETHOD parameters no longer have
associated bogus type declarations. (reported by David Wragg and
Bruno Haible)
