+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.51:
+ * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.017.
+ * enhancement: the --core command line option now accepts binaries with
+ an embedded core.
+ * enhancement: when built with :sb-core-compression, core files (regular
+ or executable) can be compressed with zlib. Use the :COMPRESSION
+ argument to SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE to specify a compression level.
+ * enhancement: --[no-]merge-core-pages determines whether the runtime
+ hints the operating system that identical core pages between SBCL
+ processes should share the same physical memory. Default is to only
+ enable this for compressed cores.
+ * optimization: SLEEP no longer conses.
+ * optimization: *PRINT-PRETTY* no longer slows down printing of strings
+ or bit-vectors when using the standard pretty-print dispatch table.
+ * bug fix: non-function FTYPE declarations no longer cause a compiler-error.
+ (lp#738464)
+ * bug fix: compiler-errors causes by MEMBER types in conjunction with with
+ AREF, CHAR, etc. (lp#826971)
+ * bug fix: compiler-errors causes by integer arguments with composed of
+ multiple ranges to ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P. (lp#826970)
+ * bug fix: ,@ and ,. now signal a read-time error for certain non-list
+ expressions. (lp#770184)
+ * bug fix: complex single float literals are correctly aligned when used
+ as arguments of arithmetic operators.
+ * bug fix: on 32-bit platforms, rounding of double floats larger than a
+ fixnum is correct. (reported by Peter Keller)
+ * bug fix: stray FD-HANDLERs are no longer left lying around after unwinds
+ from RUN-PROGRAM. (lp#840190, reported by Dominic Pearson; fix from Max
+ Mikhanosha)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.51 relative to sbcl-1.0.50:
* minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKET socket streams no longer
participate in SERVE-EVENT by default: pass :SERVE-EVENTS T to
MAKE-SOCKET-STREAM if using SERVE-EVENT.
(thanks to Anton Kovalenko).
* enhancement: more, and more correct, SSE instruction definitions on
x86-64 (thanks to Alexander Gavrilov).
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:SPIN-LOOP-HINT assembles to an instruction designed
+ to help the processor execute spin loops, when applicable. Currently
+ implemented for x86 and x86-64.
* optimization: unsigned integer divisions by a constant are implemented
using multiplication (affects CEILING, FLOOR, TRUNCATE, MOD, and REM.)
* optimization: improved type-derivation for LOAD-TIME-VALUE.
* bug fix: bound propagation involving conversion of large bignums to
floats no longer signals a SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR, reported by Lutz Euler.
(lp#819269)
+ * bug fix: &REST to &MORE conversion still works in unsafe call to known
+ functions; reported by Lutz Euler (lp#826459).
+ * bug fix: bogus deadlocks from interrupts and GCs. (lp#807475, regression
+ since 1.0.48)
changes in sbcl-1.0.50 relative to sbcl-1.0.49:
* enhancement: errors from FD handlers now provide a restart to remove
