the readtable currently in effect.
changes in sbcl-0.8.10 relative to sbcl-0.8.9:
+ * Support for the forthcoming 2.0 version of the NetBSD kernel
+ running on x86 hardware has been added. (thanks to Perry
+ E. Metzger most immediately, and others for their past work)
+ * SBCL now runs on OpenBSD 3.4. (Thanks to Scott Parish; 3.4 is the
+ current release version; SBCL's OpenBSD support had been broken
+ since about the time of OpenBSD's switch to ELF binary format.)
* [placeholder for DX summary]
** user code with &REST lists declared dynamic-extent, under high
speed or space and low safety and debug optimization policy.
+ * The manual has been converted to Texinfo format and the debugger
+ chapter from the cmucl manual has been added.
+ * A facility has been added to extract documentation strings from
+ sbcl and store them as Texinfo-formatted snippets for inclusion in
+ the manual (via Texinfo's @include directive)
* bug fix: compiler emitted division in optimized DEREF. (thanks for
the test case to Dave Roberts)
* bug fix: multidimensional simple arrays loaded from FASLs had fill
pointers. (reported by Sean Ross)
+ * bug fix: PROFILE output is printed nicely even for large numerical
+ values. (thanks to Zach Beane)
+ * bug fix: streams with element-type (SIGNED-BYTE <N>) for <N>
+ greater than 32 handle EOF correctly.
+ * bug fix: on X86 an immediate argument of the IMUL instruction is
+ correctly printed in disassembly. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * bug fix: class slots in redefined classes preserve their old
+ values. (thanks to Bruno Haible and Nikodemus Siivola)
+ * bug fix: compilation of funcalls of CXX+R (e.g. CDDR) now
+ succeeds. (reported by Marco Baringer)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** READ-SEQUENCE now works on ECHO-STREAMs.
+ ** RATIONALIZE works more according to its specification. (thanks
+ to Bruno Haible)
planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
