+changes in sbcl-0.9.7 relative to sbcl-0.9.6:
+ * 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*.
+ * optimization: performance improvements to IO on file streams of
+ :ELEMENT-TYPE CHARACTER
+
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: 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 Alexander Kjeldaas)
+ * new feature: ignoring the return values of destructive functions
+ like NREVERSE signals a compile-time style-warning.
+ (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+ * new feature: the alignment of alien structure fields can be
+ explicitly specified. (thanks to Cyrus Harmon)
+ * bug fix: run cleanup forms (in all threads) when receiving a SIGTERM
+ and dump core on SIGQUIT
* threads
+ ** incompatible change: threads do not inherit values of specials
+ from their parents (see manual)
** bug fix: threads stacks belonging to dead threads are freed by the
next exiting thread, no need to gc to collect thread stacks anymore
** minor incompatible change: INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-ERRNO removed
** WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK can be nested in a WITH-MUTEX for the same lock
+ ** bug fix: dynamic variable and thread start related gc lossage
+ ** bug fix: job control (SIGSTOP/SIGCONT) no longer confuses threads
+ suspended for gc
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** SUBTYPEP is slightly more accurate on heinously complicated
CONS types where some of the members have uncertain (in the
NIL, NIL sense) type relationships to each other.
+ * GENCGC
+ ** Cores produced by SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE on GENCGC platforms are
+ no longer purified unless :PURIFY T is explicitly specified.
+ ** Non-purified cores are significantly smaller than before
changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
* new feature: timers based on Zach Beane's excellent timer package
