-changes relative to sbcl-1.1.6
- * bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
- should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination. Reported by
- Eric Marsden on sbcl-devel.
- * bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
- the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
- robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
+ * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
+ the working directory of the spawned process.
+ (lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
+ * enhancement: vectors can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
+ * enhancement: "fixed objects" can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
+ * enhancement: WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS no longer conses on PPC/GENCGC.
+ * enhancement: (sb-introspect:find-definition-sources-by-name x :vop) now
+ also returns VOPs which do not translate any functions.
+ * bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
+ of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
+ (lp#1096444)
+ * bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
+ sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
+ decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
+ * bug fix: Loading a core with a discontiguous dynamic space now correctly
+ computes the amount of dynamic space used.
+ * bug fix: disassembler missing ",8" on SHLD
+ * optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
+ * optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
* enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
(lp#457053)
* bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
* bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
- * bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function) "doc").
- Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation of NIL
- for all other documentation types.
- Reported by Zach Beane. Regression since 2e52fa05.
- * LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.
