* fixed bugs 19 and 317: fixed-format floating point printing is
more accurate. This also fixes a bug reported by Adam Warner
related to the ~@F format directive.
+ * fixed bug 371: bignum print/read inconsistency. (thanks to Harald
+ Hanche-Olsen)
* fixed bug: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR correctly shallow-copies a
dispatch table if the from-char is a dispatch macro character.
* fixed bug: COUNT and EQUAL on bit vectors with lengths divisible
coerce function designators to functions.
* optimization: code with many calls to CLOS methods specialized on
CLOS classes has had redundant type checks removed.
+ * optimization: added declarations to speed up operations that access
+ the internal character database (for example STRING-UPCASE)
+ * optimization: comparison operations between floats and sufficiently small
+ fixnums no longer create extra rationals
* fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
** portions of multibyte characters at the end of buffers for
character-based file input are correctly transferred to the
secondary constituent character trait.
** SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR correctly copies multiple-escape character
syntax.
+ ** WITH-INPUT-FROM-STRING should only update the index place on
+ normal termination.
+ ** Pretty-printing backquoted forms when *PRINT-CIRCLE* is true
+ works more reliably.
