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
