* enhancement: location of user or system initialization file can now easily
be customized for saved cores. See: SB-EXT:*USERINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*
and SB-EXT:*SYSINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*.
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:MAKE-THREAD accepts an argument list designator for
+ the thunk, as a keyword argument, :arguments.
+ * enhancement: constraint propagation is simplified (and sped up) when
+ COMPILATION-SPEED > SPEED.
+ * optimization: extracting bits of a single-float on x86-64 has been
+ optimized. (lp#555201)
+ * optimization: MAP and MAP-INTO are more efficient for non-simple vectors,
+ when (> SPEED SPACE).
+ * optimization: local call trampolines (x86 and x86-64) are emitted
+ inline.
+ * optimization: implicit value cells for dynamic-extent closed-over bindings
+ on x86 and x86-64 can hold unboxed values as well.
+ * meta-optimization: improved compilation speed, especially for large
+ functions. (lp#792363 and lp#394206)
* bug fix: bound derivation for floating point operations is now more
careful about rounding possibly closing open bounds. (lp#793771)
* bug fix: SB-POSIX:SYSCALL-ERROR's argument is now optional. (accidental
function with dynamic-extent &rest list.
* bug fix: &optional and &key supplied-p arguments in DEFSTRUCT
boa-construtors can be used to initialized structure slots.
+ * bug fix: FMAKUNBOUND removes the MACRO-FUNCTION, should one exist.
+ (lp#795705, regression)
+ * bug fix: DIRECTORY works better on logical pathnames.
+ * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM no longer fails spuriously when argument strings
+ are of the order of ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT. (lp#787237)
+ * bug fix: the compiler no longer constant-folds NaNs in
+ MAKE-{SINGLE,DOUBLE}-FLOAT. (lp#486812)
+ * bug fix: FORMAT now handles floating point rounding correct, eg.
+ (format nil "~,1F" 0.01) => "0.0" instead of "0.01" as previously.
+ (lp#308961)
+ * bug fix: style warning during lambda-list introspection of generic
+ functions with both optional and key argments.
+ * bug fix: regalloc doesn't barf on unused TNs due to type-directed constant
+ folding. (lp#729765)
changes in sbcl-1.0.49 relative to sbcl-1.0.48:
* minor incompatible change: WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE no longer disables
