changes in sbcl-1.0.16 relative to 1.0.15:
* minor incompatible change: change PROBE-FILE back to returning
NIL whenever we can't get a truename, as was the case before 1.0.14.
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:NAME-SERVICE-ERROR now
+ inherits from ERROR instead of just CONDITION.
+ * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT can provide source locations for instances
+ as well. (thanks to Tobian Ritterweiler)
+ * optimization: binding special variables now generates smaller code
+ on threaded platforms.
* optimization: MEMBER and ASSOC are over 50% faster for :TEST #'EQ
and cases where no :TEST is given but the compiler can infer that
the element to search is of type (OR FIXNUM (NOT NUMBER)).
* optimization: modular arithmetic for a particular requested width
is implemented using a tagged representation unless a better
representation is available.
+ * fixed bug 423: TRULY-THE and *CHECK-CONSISTENCY* interaction.
+ * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:MAKE-INET-ADDRESS checks the input string
+ for wellformedness and returns a specialized vector. (reported by
+ Francois-Rene Rideau)
+ * bug fix: FIND-CLASS was not thread-safe. (reported by Attila Lendvai)
+ * bug fix: ~R was broken for vigtillions. (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
+ * bug fix: attempt to obtain *SCHEDULER-LOCK* recursively when
+ unscheduling timer at the same time as another timer fires.
+ * bug fix: don't reschedule timers for dead threads.
* bug fix: periodic polling was broken. (thanks to Espen S Johnsen)
* bug fix: copying output from RUN-PROGRAM to a stream signalled
bogus errors if select() was interrupted.
