** CONSTANTP now returns true for all self-evaluating objects.
changes in sbcl-0.7.13 relative to sbcl-0.7.12:
+ * incompatible packaging change: in line with Unix convention,
+ SBCL now looks for its core file in /usr/{local/,}lib/sbcl/sbcl.core
+ if it's not in $SBCL_HOME. It also sets SBCL_HOME to match.
+ * REQUIRE and PROVIDE are now optionally capable of doing something
+ useful. See the documentation string for REQUIRE.
+ * infrastructure for a managed SBCL contrib system: contributed
+ modules in this release include:
+ ** the ASDF system definition facility;
+ ** an interface to the BSD Sockets API;
+ ** an ACL-like convenience interface to the repl;
+ (thanks to Kevin Rosenberg)
+ ** an implementation of ROTATE-BYTE, with efficient implementation
+ on x86 hardware;
* fixed a bug in LOG, so that LOG of a rational argument near 1 now
gives a closer approximation to the right answer than previously.
(thanks to Raymond Toy)
many list operations. (thanks to Robert E. Brown)
* fixed a bug in the reader: the #n# reader macro now works for
objects of type STANDARD-OBJECT. (reported by Tony Martinez)
+ * the compiler is now aware that SYMBOL-FUNCTION returns a FUNCTION
+ and that READ-DELIMITED-LIST returns a LIST. (thanks to Robert
+ E. Brown and Tony Martinez respectively)
+ * PCL is now smarter about SLOT-VALUE, (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
+ SLOT-BOUNDP: in particular, it is now able to optimize them much
+ better, and is now not vulnerable to having packages renamed.
+ Furthermore, a compliance bug has been fixed: SLOT-MISSING is now
+ always called when a slot is not present in an instance. (thanks
+ to Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed a bug related to CONCATENATED-STREAMs: PEEK-CHAR will no
+ longer signal an error on unreading a character following EOF on
+ the previous constituent stream. (thanks to Tony Martinez)
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P now allows arbitrary integers as arguments,
not just nonnegative fixnums;
freshly-consed result bit-array);
** ELT now signals an error on an invalid sequence index in safe
code;

+ ** the type system is now cleverer about negations of numeric
+ types, and consequently understands the BIGNUM and RATIO types
+ better;
+ ** the type system is now cleverer about the interaction between
+ INTEGER and RATIO types: while bugs still remain, many more
+ cases are accurately computed;
+ ** in TYPECASE, OTHERWISE now only introduces an otherwise-clause
+ if it is in the last clause;
+ ** CONSTANTLY now correctly returns a side-effect-free function in
+ all cases;
+ ** DECLARE is no longer treated as a special-operator; in
+ particular, SPECIAL-OPERATOR-P no longer returns T for DECLARE;
+ * incremented fasl file version number due to the change in the
+ DEFSTRUCT-SLOT-DESCRIPTION structure.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.7.14 relative to sbcl-0.7.13:
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** a bug in the CONS type specifier, whereby the CAR and CDR
+ types got intertwined, has been fixed;
+ ** the type system is now able to reason about the interaction
+ between INTEGER and RATIO types more completely;
+ * fixed CEILING optimization for a divisor of form 2^k.
