changes in sbcl-0.9.19 (1.0.0?) relative to sbcl-0.9.18:
+ * improvement: experimental support for threading on FreeBSD/x86.
+ (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
* improvement: runtime option --dynamic-space-size can be used
to set the size of the dynamic space reserved on startup.
* improvement: floating point modes in effect are now saved in
threads are not running after *SAVE-HOOKS* have run.
* improvement: writes to CLOS instance slots are type-checked in code
compiled with (SAFETY 3)
- * improvement: floating-point exception handling should work on all
- POSIX platforms (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * improvement: floating-point exception handling on FreeBSD (thanks to
+ NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * improvement: SB-POSIX supports time(2), utime(2) and utimes(2)
+ (thanks to Zach Beane)
+ * improvement: support for files larger than 2GB for CL streams and SB-POSIX
+ on Linux/x86
+ * improvement: added support for the Shift-JIS external format.
+ (contributed by NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * improvement: callbacks are supported on Linux/PPC. (thanks to

* bug fix: compiler bug triggered by a (non-standard) VALUES
declaration in a LET* was fixed. (reported by Kaersten Poeck)
* bug fix: file compiler no longer confuses validated and already
(reported by Josip Gracin)
* bug fix: an error is signaled for attempts to displace arrays with
incompatible element types (thanks to Mario Mommer)
+ * optimization: method calls with &OPTIONAL or &KEY arguments are faster
+ and don't cause extra consing
+ * optimization: MAP and MAP-INTO are significantly faster on vectors
+ whose elements types have been declared.
+ * Improvements to SB-SPROF:
+ ** Support for allocation profiling
+ ** Reduced profiling overhead, especially for long profiling runs
* Improvements to the Windows port:
** floating point exceptions are now reported correctly.
** stack exhaustion detection works partially.
