+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.49:
+ * enhancement: errors from FD handlers now provide a restart to remove
+ the offending handler.
+ * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:FIND-DEFINITION-SOURCE now works on structure
+ copiers as well.
+ * enhancement: location of user or system initialization file can now easily
+ be customized for saved cores. See: SB-EXT:*USERINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*
+ and SB-EXT:*SYSINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*.
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:MAKE-THREAD accepts an argument list designator for
+ the thunk, as a keyword argument, :arguments.
+ * enhancement: constraint propagation is simplified (and sped up) when
+ COMPILATION-SPEED > SPEED.
+ * optimization: extracting bits of a single-float on x86-64 has been
+ optimized. (lp#555201)
+ * meta-optimization: improved compilation speed, especially for large
+ functions. (lp#792363 and lp#394206)
+ * bug fix: bound derivation for floating point operations is now more
+ careful about rounding possibly closing open bounds. (lp#793771)
+ * bug fix: SB-POSIX:SYSCALL-ERROR's argument is now optional. (accidental
+ backwards incompatible change in 1.0.48.27)
+ * bug fix: occasional debugger errors in when a type-error occured in a
+ function with dynamic-extent &rest list.
+ * bug fix: &optional and &key supplied-p arguments in DEFSTRUCT
+ boa-construtors can be used to initialized structure slots.
+ * bug fix: FMAKUNBOUND removes the MACRO-FUNCTION, should one exist.
+ (lp#795705, regression)
+ * bug fix: DIRECTORY works better on logical pathnames.
+ * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM no longer fails spuriously when argument strings
+ are of the order of ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT. (lp#787237)
+ * bug fix: the compiler no longer constant-folds NaNs in
+ MAKE-{SINGLE,DOUBLE}-FLOAT. (lp#486812)
+ * bug fix: FORMAT now handles floating point rounding correct, eg.
+ (format nil "~,1F" 0.01) => "0.0" instead of "0.01" as previously.
+ (lp#308961)
+ * bug fix: style warning during lambda-list introspection of generic
+ functions with both optional and key argments.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.49 relative to sbcl-1.0.48:
+ * minor incompatible change: WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE no longer disables
+ interrupts for its body.
+ * enhancement: source locations are now available for files loaded as
+ source, compile-time-too evaluation, and initialization files.
+ * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :SOURCE-NAMESTRING allows providing
+ virtual source-file information, eg. overriding input-file of COMPILE-FILE
+ when a temporary file is used for compilation.
+ * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.015.3.
+ * enhancement: backtraces involving frames from the default evaluator are
+ more readable.
+ * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM works with user-defined binary input and output
+ streams.
+ * enhancement: more informative compile-time warnings and runtime errors for
+ type-errors detected at compile-time.
+ * enhancement: deadlock detection for mutexes and spinlocks.
+ * enhancement: dynamic-extent for &rest lists stack allocate only their
+ spines, not their argumets. While portable code should not rely on this,
+ particularly in combination with inlining, it should make dynamic-extent
+ easier to use safely.
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX improvements:
+ ** WNOHANG and WUNTRACED are exported.
+ ** SYSCALL-ERROR now also provides the name of the failing system call.
+ * enhancement: --script improvements:
+ ** errors on standard input, output, and error streams are handled and
+ cause scripts to exit silently, making them easier to use in shell
+ pipelines.
+ ** backtraces from scripts now go to standard error instead of the
+ terminal even if one is available.
+ ** --script can be an argument, causing the script to be loaded from
+ standard input.
+ * enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN-STRING provides an easy way to transport lisp
+ strings to foreign memory.
+ * enhancement: (SETF GC-LOGFILE) allows logging garbage collections to
+ a file, making it easier to understand heap dynamics.
+ * optimization: using a &REST argument only in APPLY or VALUES-LIST calls
+ allows the compiler to automatically elide rest-list allocation so long as
+ the call sites are in functions that the compiler knows cannot escape.
+ (lp#504575)
+ * optimization: CALL-NEXT-METHOD using explicit arguments is faster,
+ especially in safe code when none of the required arguments have changed
+ their identities.
+ * bug fix: blocking reads from FIFOs created by RUN-PROGRAM were
+ uninterruptible, as well as blocking reads from socket streams created
+ with for which :SERVE-EVENTS NIL. (regression from 1.0.42.43)
+ * bug fix: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR now removes dispatch-macro character syntax
+ from the to-char if the from-char is not a dispatch-macro character.
+ * bug fix: references to undefined variables in function calls that are
+ optimized away now signal a runtime error. (lp#722734)
+ * bug fix: miscompilation of MULTIPLE-VALUE-CALL when asserting derived
+ types from a function defined in the same file. (regression from
+ 1.0.43.57)
+ * bug fix: TRULY-THE forms are now macroexpandable and setf-expandable.
+ (lp#771673)
+ * bug fix: spurious errors during QUIT when standard streams were closed.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.48 relative to sbcl-1.0.47:
* incompatible change: SB!KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA, deprecated for over five
years, is now no longer supported.
* enhancement: read() and write() have been added to SB-POSIX.
