+changes in sbcl-0.9.11 relative to sbcl-0.9.10:
+ * new feature: Unicode character names are now known to the system
+ (through CHAR-NAME and NAME-CHAR).
+ * bug fix: as implied by AMOP, standardized classes no longer have
+ slots named by external symbols of public packages. (reported by
+ Pascal Costanza)
+
changes in sbcl-0.9.10 relative to sbcl-0.9.9:
* new feature: new SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE keyword argument :EXECUTABLE can
be used for bundling the runtime and the core file into one
executable binary. This feature is not currently supported on all SBCL
platforms. (thanks to James Bielman and NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * new feature: a generational or ephemeral garbage collector is now
+ the default on the PowerPC platform (both Linux and Darwin). The
+ old Cheney (stop and copy) collector is a build-time option.
+ (thanks to Cyrus Harmon, after Raymond Toy)
* minor incompatible change: the method by which SBCL finds its
contributed modules has changed; it no longer relies on symbolic
links from an $SBCL_HOME/systems directory, but searches directly
in the subdirectories of $SBCL_HOME.
* enhancement: the dynamic heap size on the Linux/PPC platform is
- markedly larger.
+ markedly larger, even using the older Cheney garbage collector.
* fixed bug #399: full call to DATA-VECTOR-REF in accesses to
certain complicated string types. (reported by Gary King)
* fixed bug: STRING-TO-OCTETS and OCTETS-TO-STRING did not convert
* fixed bug: metacircle resolution in cases where methods have slots
added before the slots from STANDARD-METHOD. (reported by Jean
Bresson)
+ * fixed bug: the Power PC assembly code for calling into lisp
+ sometimes computed its return address wrongly (depending on the
+ 15th bit of the address, fixed at link time). This used to
+ manifest itself in a segmentation violation while building PCL.
+ (reported by Kevin Rosenberg, Eric Marsden, Lars Brinkhoff and
+ many others over the years)
+ * fixed bug: ROOM no longer reports silly numbers for stack usage if
+ the stack pointer (treated as a signed integer) is negative.
+ (thanks to Peter van Eynde)
changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8:
* new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** DOCUMENTATION returns NIL instead of "" for method combinations
that don't have a docstring

changes in sbcl-0.9.7 relative to sbcl-0.9.6:
* minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are no longer generic functions, and
