** 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)
* 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;
planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
