+ * enhancement: Add sb-bsd-sockets:socket-shutdown, for calling

+ (thanks to Jan Moringen, lp#1179858)
+ * bug fix: the compiler-macro for MAKE-INSTANCE when emitting "fallback"
+ constructors handles non-KEYWORD initialization arguments more correctly.
+ * bug fix: loading the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contributed module no longer
+ clobbers FILE-NAMESTRING. (thanks to Anton Kovalenko, lp#884603)

+ are less likely to destroy the object system's integrity. (lp#309076)

+ rather than a failed AVER. (reported by Paul Nathan)
+ * bug fix: Parsing of &optional/&key/&rest arguments now never overwrites
+ arguments during copying on x86 and x86-64; it may still happen on other
+ platforms when there are more fixed arguments than stack slots.
+ (reported by Jan Moringen)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.11 relative to sbcl-1.1.10:
+ * enhancement: support building the manual under texinfo version 5.
+ (lp#1189146)
+ * enhancement: Windows builds no longer display the "Kitten of Death" message.

+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.10 relative to sbcl-1.1.9:
+ * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 3.0.2.
+ * optimization: stack frames are packed more efficiently on x86oids, which
+ ought to reduce the frequency of Methuselahn conservative references (it
+ certainly helps with gc.impure.lisp / BUG-936304 on x86).
+ * optimization: on x86 and x86-64, integer negation forms like (- x) are now
+ recognized in modular arithmetic contexts, and compile to native negate,
+ rather than going through bignums only to keep the low bits.
+ * bug fix: Compiling potential modularic arithmetic forms does not cause type
+ errors when some integer types lack lower or upper bounds. (lp#1199127)
+ * bug fix: Non-trivial modular arithmetic forms are always cut to the right
+ bitwidth before being used in a non-modular context. (lp#1199428)
+ * bug fix: Multiple catch/unwind blocks in a single function are now
+ allocated in the right stack order on win32. (lp#1072739)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.9 relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+ * new feature: the contrib SB-GMP links with libgmp at runtime to speed
+ up arithmetic on bignums and ratios. (contributed by Stephan Frank)
* enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
functions, like LENGTH.
* enhancement: clean.sh now also cleans doc/internals.
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-SYMBOL-WITH-PREFIX can be used within ~// to
+ print a symbol with a package prefix.
+ * enhancement: The debugger and backtracing are more robust against buggy
+ PRINT-OBJECT methods.
* optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
* optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
* optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
or double float precision on x87.
* bug fix: Known-safe vector access on x86oids should not fail spuriously
when the index is of the form (+ x constant-positive-integer).
- * bug fix: Remove GPL-licensed files from source distribution. (lp#1185668)
+ * bug fix: Remove GPL-licensed files from source distribution. (lp#1185668)
+ * bug fix: backtrace printer no longer tries to create very large lists when
+ the arg-count register is clobberred by other code. (lp#1192929)
+ * bug fix: x86 should never signal an FP exception while boxing an FP value,
+ a situation that lands us into ldb.
