* incremented fasl file version number, because of the
SXHASH-related changes in the layout of CLOS data structures
+changes in sbcl-0.7.11 relative to sbcl-0.7.10:
+ * fixed bug 127: DEFSTRUCT now does not clobber old structure
+ accessors that are related by inheritance, as specified in the
+ :CONC-NAME section of the specification of DEFSTRUCT. (thanks to
+ Valtteri Vuorikoski)
+ * The compiler is now able to inline functions that were defined in
+ a complex lexical environment (e.g. inside a MACROLET).
+ * fixed bug in DESCRIBE, which now works on rank-0 arrays. (thanks
+ to Lutz Euler)
+ * Support for the upcoming FreeBSD-5.0 release has been included.
+ (thanks to Dag-Erling Smorgrav)
+ * fixed bug 219: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO no longer has compile-time
+ effect when it is not in a toplevel context.
+ * fixed bug 222: DEFMETHOD and SYMBOL-MACROLET interactions now
+ stand a better chance of being correct. (thanks to Gerd
+ Moellmann)
+ * fixed bug in COERCE, which now signals an error on coercing a
+ rational to a bounded real type which excludes the expected
+ answer.
+ * The compiler is now able to derive types more accurately from the
+ COERCE and COMPILE functions.
+ * fixed bug 223: functional binding is considered to be constant
+ only for symbols in the CL package.
+ * fixed bug 231: SETQ did not check the type of a variable being set
+ (reported by Robert E. Brown)
+ * A new optimization for MAKE-INSTANCE has been included, fixing
+ various bugs (including relating to :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots and
+ :DEFAULT-INITARGS over-eager evalueation). (thanks to Gerd
+ Moellmann)
+ * fixed some LOOP bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** As required by ANSI, LOOP now disallows anonymous collection
+ clauses such as COLLECT I in conjunction with aggregate boolean
+ clauses such as THEREIS (= I 1);
+ ** LOOP now signals an error when any variable is reused in the
+ same loop (including the potentially useful construct analogous
+ to WITH A = 1 WITH A = (1+ A);
+ ** IT is only a special loop symbol within the first clause of a
+ conditional loop clause;
+ ** LOOP with a typed iteration variable over a hashtable now
+ signals a type error iff it should.
+ * fixed some other bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** FILE-STREAM now names the class previously known as FD-STREAM;
+ ** in DEFSTRUCT, a bare :CONC-NAME (or a :CONC-NAME with no
+ argument) no longer signals an error;
+ ** likewise in DEFSTRUCT, :CONC-NAME NIL now respects the package
+ of the slot symbol, rather than using the current package
+ ((:CONC-NAME "") continues to intern the slot's name in the
+ current package);
+ * incremented fasl file version number, because of the incompatible
+ change to the DEFSTRUCT-DESCRIPTION structure, and again because
+ of the new implementation of DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.7.12 relative to sbcl-0.7.11:
+ * minor incompatible change: code processed by the "interpreter" or
+ EVAL now has a compilation optimization policy of (DEBUG 2)
+ (changed from (DEBUG 1)) to improve debuggability of interactive
+ development, and to allow the use of the debug RETURN command in
+ such code.
+ * an experimental implementation of the RETURN command for the
+ debugger has been included. (thanks to Frederik Kuivinen)
+ * fixed bug 62: constraints were not propagated into a loop.
+ * fixed bug in embedded calls of SORT (reported and investigated by
+ Wolfgang Jenkner).
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** printing and reading of arrays with some dimensions having
+ length 0 (thanks to Gerd Moellmann);
+ ** BOA constructor with &AUX argument without a default value does
+ not cause a type error;
+ ** 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)
+ * fixed bug 157: TYPEP, SUBTYPEP, UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE and
+ UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE now take (ignored, in all situations)
+ optional environment arguments, as required by ANSI.
+ * fixed bugs in other functions taking environment objects, allowing
+ calls with an explicit NIL environment argument to be compiled
+ without error.
+ * fixed bug 228: primary return values from
+ FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION are either NIL or suitable for input to
+ COMPILE or FUNCTION.
+ * fixed a bug in DEFSTRUCT: predicates for :NAMED structures with
+ :TYPE will no longer signal errors on innocuous objects.
+ * fixed bug 231b: SETQ is better at respecting type declarations in
+ the lexical environment.
+ * fixed a bug in DEFCLASS: classes named by symbols with no or
+ unprintable packages can now be defined.
+ * fixed a bug in RESTART-BIND: The :TEST-FUNCTION option had been
+ carelessly renamed to :TEST-FUN. (thanks to Robert E. Brown)
+ * fixed compiler failure related to checking types of functions.
+ (reported by Robert E. Brown)
+ * the compiler is now much more consistent in its error-checking
+ treatment of bounding index arguments to sequence functions: in
+ (SAFETY 3) code, errors will be signalled in almost all cases if
+ invalid sequence bounding indices are passed to functions defined
+ by ANSI to operate on sequences.
+ * fixed a bug in the build procedure: documentation of SBCL-specific
+ packages is now preserved and available in the final Lisp image.
+ * lifted FDEFINITION lookup out of loops in the implementation of
+ 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)
+ * PCL is now smarter about SLOT-VALUE, (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
+ SLOT-BOUNDP: in particular, it is now able to optimize them much
+ better, and is now not vulnerable to having packages renamed.
+ Furthermore, a compliance bug has been fixed: SLOT-MISSING is now
+ always called when a slot is not present in an instance. (thanks
+ to Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P now allows arbitrary integers as arguments,
+ not just nonnegative fixnums;
+ ** the logical bit-array operators such as BIT-AND now accept an
+ explicit NIL for their "opt-arg" argument (to indicate a
+ 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
down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe later, it might impact TRACE. They both
