changes in sbcl-0.8.5 relative to sbcl-0.8.4:
- * in full calls compiler does not generate checks for declared
+ * New code in contrib/sb-introspect (still probably not entirely
+ stable yet) provides some support for smart Lisp development
+ environments like SLIME.
+ * The conditions signalled for errors occurring when loading .fasl
+ files have been systematized (inheriting from SB-EXT:INVALID-FASL)
+ in a way which should help ASDF recover gracefully.
+ * The REQUIRE/PROVIDE behavior of *MODULE-PROVIDER-FUNCTIONS*
+ stuff has been cleaned up. If you code contrib/ stuff, this might
+ affect you, and you can look at contrib/README, contrib/STANDARDS,
+ and/or the 0.8.4.27 diff to check.
+ * In full calls the compiler now does not generate checks for declared
argument types for all arguments.
- * fix bug 282: compiler does not trust type assertions while passing
+ * various threading fixes
+ ** and some experimental patches which didn't make it into
+ the main tree for this release, but which are shipped in
+ contrib/experimental-thread.patch as a possible fix for some
+ failures (deadlock, spinning...) in GC-intensive multithreaded
+ applications.
+ * fixed PPC build problem (source code incompatibility of different
+ library versions): added offsetof() hackery which attempts to divine
+ where glibc maintainers put uc_mcontext today
+ * fixed bug 282: compiler does not trust type assertions while passing
arguments to a full call.
- * fix bug 261: compiler allows NIL or "no value" to be accepted for
+ * fixed bug 261: compiler allows NIL or "no value" to be accepted for
&OPTIONAL VALUES type parameter.
* fix bug 214: algorithm for noting rejected templates is now more
similar to that of template seletion. (also reported by rydis on
* bug fix: LOOP forms using NIL as a for-as-arithmetic counter no
longer raise an error; further, using a list as a for-as-arithmetic
counter now raises a meaningful error.
+ * fixed bug 213a: even fairly unreasonable CONS type specifiers are
+ now understood by sequence creation functions such as MAKE-SEQUENCE
+ and COERCE.
+ * fixed bug 46k: READ-BYTE now signals an error when asked to read from
+ a STRING-INPUT-STREAM.
* compiler enhancement: SIGNUM is now better able to derive the type
of its result.
* type declarations inside WITH-SLOTS are checked. (reported by
salex on #lisp)
- * loading incompatible FASLs, e.g. those produced by an incompatible
- lisp implementation, cause a condition of type SB-EXT:INVALID-FASL
- (a subtype of ERROR) to be raised.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** incorrect optimization of TRUNCATE for a positive first
argument and negative second.
** intersection of CONS types now canonicalizes properly, fixing
inconsistencies in SUBTYPEP.
+changes in sbcl-0.8.6 relative to sbcl-0.8.5:
+ * fixed a bootstrapping bug: the build process no longer assumes
+ that the various BOOLE-related constants have the same value in
+ host and target lisps. (noted by Paul Dietz' test suite on an
+ SBCL binary built from CLISP)
+
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
down, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
