-changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.7.14
- * The old distinction between CL:CLASS objects and SB-PCL:CLASS
- objects has been eliminated. The return value from CL:FIND-CLASS
- is now a CLOS class, and likewise that of CL:CLASS-OF;
- CL:BUILT-IN-CLASS, CL:STRUCTURE-CLASS and CL:STANDARD-CLASS name
- CLOS classes.

+ * experimental native threads support (on x86 Linux >=2.4 only).
+ This is not compiled in by default: you need to add :SB-THREAD to
+ the target features. See the "Beyond ANSI" chapter of the manual

* An interface to the MetaObject Protocol, as described in Kiczales,
des Rivieres and Bobrow's "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol",
MIT Press, 1991, is available from the SB-MOP package.

* minor incompatible change: due to rearrangement for threads, the
control stack and binding stack are now allocated at arbitrary
processed with READ before any of them were processed with EVAL.
Now each --eval form is processed with both READ and EVAL before
the next --eval form is processed. (Thus package operations like
- sbcl --eval "(defpackage :foo)" --eval "(print 'foo::bar)" now work
- as the user might reasonably expect.)

* fixed bug in MEMBER type: (MEMBER 0.0) is not the same as
(SINGLE-FLOAT 0.0 0.0), because of the existence of -0.0 which is
TYPEP the latter but not the former.

+changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.8alpha.0
+ * SBCL now builds using CLISP (version of late April 2003 from CVS) as
+ cross-compilation host. As a consequence, we can now bootstrap our
+ way up to SBCL starting with a bare gcc toolchain and human-readable
+ source code (first the source to CLISP, then the source to SBCL).
+ * A contributed module containing a partial implementation of the
+ simple-streams interface has been included. (thanks to Rudi
+ Schlatte)
+ * A contributed module implementing the RFC1321 Message Digest
+ Algorithm, known as MD5, has been included.
+ * minor incompatible change: The :NEGATIVE-ZERO-IS-NOT-ZERO feature
+ no longer has any effect, as the code controlled by this feature
+ has been deleted. (As far as we know, no-one has ever built using
+ this feature, and its semantics were confused in any case).
+ * minor incompatible change: As a consequence of making SLOT-EXISTS-P
+ work on conditions (as required by the ANSI specification),
+ SLOT-VALUE, (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and SLOT-BOUNDP likewise have the
+ expected behaviour on conditions. Users should note, however,
+ that such behaviour is not required by the ANSI specification,
+ and so use of this behaviour may render their code unportable.
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** the GENERIC-FUNCTION type is no longer disjoint from FUNCTION
+ types.
+ ** &ENVIRONMENT parameter in macro lambda list is bound first.
+ ** SXHASH on condition objects no longer returns NIL.
+ ** :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots are better treated; their values are
+ updated on class redefinition, and initforms inherited from
+ superclasses are applied.
+ ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
+ no method was removed.
+ ** SHARED-INITIALIZE now initializes the values of the requested
+ slots, including those with :ALLOCATION :CLASS.
+ ** ALLOCATE-INSTANCE now works on structure classes defined via
+ DEFSTRUCT (and not just by those from DEFCLASS :METACLASS
+ STRUCTURE-CLASS).
+ ** SLOT-EXISTS-P now works on conditions, as well as structures
+ and CLOS instances.
+ ** MAKE-LOAD-FORM now has the required methods on
+ STRUCTURE-OBJECT, CONDITION and STANDARD-OBJECT.
+ ** MAKE-LOAD-FORM-SAVING-SLOTS no longer returns a special
+ keyword, and now implements the SLOT-NAMES argument.
+ ** methods with &OPTIONAL arguments no longer allow too many
+ arguments to be passed in the call without error.
+ ** DEFGENERIC now checks that the :ARGUMENT-PRECEDENCE-ORDER
+ option is consistent with the required arguments of the generic
+ function lambda list.
+ * bug fix: REQUIRE accepts a string designator. (Thanks to
+ Antonio Martinez.)
+ * bug fix: SB-MOP:DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS and
+ SB-MOP:EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS now have the
+ specified-by-AMOP lambda list of (CLASS &REST INITARGS).
+ * bug fix: The compiler now checks for duplicated variables in macro
+ lambda lists.
+ * bug fix: SETQ on globals returns the correct value.
+ * fixed bug 47.d: (DEFGENERIC IF (X)) now signals a PROGRAM-ERROR,
+ not a COMPILER-ERROR (followed by some other strange error on
+ choosing the CONTINUE restart).
+ * bug fix: make.sh and friends are now more consistent in the way that
+ they for GNU "make".

+changes in sbcl-0.8.1 relative to sbcl-0.8.0:
+ * changes in type checking closed the following bugs:
+ ** type checking of unused values (192b, 194d, 203);
+ ** template selection based on unsafe type assertions (192c, 236);
+ ** type checking in branches (194bc).
+ * VALUES declaration is disabled.
+ * a short form of VALUES type specifier has ANSI meaning.
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:

- down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe later, it might impact TRACE. They both
- encapsulate functions, and it's not clear yet how e.g. UNPROFILE
- will interact with TRACE
- and UNTRACE. (This shouldn't matter, though, unless you are
- using profiling. If you never profile anything, TRACE should
- continue to behave as before.)
