changes in sbcl-1.0.1 relative to sbcl-1.0:
+ * new platform: FreeBSD/x86-64, including support for threading.
+ * new feature: the compiler stores cross-referencing information
+ abount function calls (who-calls), macroexpansion (who-macroexpands)
+ and special variables (who-binds, who-sets, who-references) for code
+ compiled with (< SPACE 3). This information is available through the
+ sb-introspect contrib.
+ * new feature: users may subclass SEQUENCE, and have instances of
+ these classes interoperate with standard Common Lisp functions if
+ a number of methods are defined. (This feature is experimental
+ and the interface subject to change based on feedback from SBCL
+ users and the general community)
* improvement: sb-sprof traces call stacks to an arbitrary depth on
x86/x86-64, rather than the previous fixed depth of 8
+ * improvement: another pthread back-end of mutex "pthread-futex".
* bug fix: non-ascii command-line arguments are processed correctly
(thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
- * bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL (and function end breakpoints)
- work on Windows.
* bug fix: non-required arguments were not passed correctly when a method
defined using DEFMETHOD was called from a mop-generated method using
CALL-NEXT-METHOD (reported by Pascal Costanza)
* optimization: the FIND and POSITION family of sequence functions
are significantly faster on arrays whose element types have been
declared.
+ * improvements to the Windows port:
+ ** Intermittent heap corruption problems have been fixed. (thanks
+ to Alastair Bridgewater)
+ ** TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL (and function end breakpoints)
+ work on Windows.
+ ** Lisp is able to unwind foreing exception frames from alien
+ callbacks. (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
changes in sbcl-1.0 relative to sbcl-0.9.18:
