-for 0.7.0:
-
-* filed off the roughest edges (or, perhaps, at least hammered down the
- protruding rusty nails and snipped off the trailing razor wire,
- leaving some filing for later:-) from the monster
- EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
- ** made inlining DEFUN inside MACROLET work again
- ** made %COMPILE set up debugging data more like the way the
- debugger expects (and maybe even completely
- correctly:-)
- *** made (DISASSEMBLE 'PRINT) work
-* incompatible changes listed in NEWS:
- ** changed debugger prompt to "5]", "5[2]", "5[3]", etc.
- ** changed default output representation of *PRINT-ESCAPE*-ed
- unprintable ASCII characters to #\Nul, #\Soh, etc.
-* some easy FIXMEs with high disruptive potential:
- ** Search lists go away.
- ** Grep for ~D and and change most of them to ~S.
-* more renaming in global external names:
- ** used DEFINE-THE-FOO-THING and DEFFOO style consistently (and
- deprecated supported extensions named in the DEF-FOO
- style, e.g. SB-ALIEN:DEF-ALIEN-ROUTINE)
- ** reserved DO-FOO-style names for iteration macros
- ** finished s/FUNCTION/FUN/
- ** s/VARIABLE/VAR/
- ** s/TOP-LEVEL/TOPLEVEL/
-* global style systematization:
- ** s/#'(lambda/(lambda/
- ** four-space indentation in C

for early 0.7.x:
-* building with CLISP (or explaining why not)
+* building with CLISP (or explaining why not). This will likely involve
+ a rearrangement of the build system so that it never renames
+ the output from COMPILE-FILE, because CLISP's COMPILE-FILE
+ outputs two (!) files and as far as I can tell LOAD uses both
+ of them. Since I have other motivations for this rearrangement
+ besides CLISPiosyncrasies, I'm reasonably motivated to do it.
+* urgent EVAL/EVAL-WHEN/%COMPILE/DEFUN/DEFSTRUCT cleanup:
+ ** made inlining DEFUN inside MACROLET work again
+ ** (also, while working on INLINE anyway, it might be easy
+ to flush the old MAYBE-INLINE cruft entirely,
+ including e.g. on the man page)
+ ** fixed bug 137 (more)
* faster bootstrapping (both make.sh and slam.sh)
** added mechanisms for automatically finding dead code, and
used them to remove dead code
** used %COMPILE where COMPILE-TOP-LEVEL used to be used
** removed now-redundant COMPILE-TOP-LEVEL and
FUNCTIONAL-KIND=:TOP-LEVEL stuff from the compiler
- ** made FUNCTION-NAME logic work on closures, so that

+ made FUNCTION-NAME logic work on closures, so that
various public functions like CL:PACKAGEP which
are now implemented as closures (because
they're structure slot accessors) won't be so
** cut-and-pasted DEF-BOOLEAN-ATTRIBUTE (maybe easier to fix
now that EVAL-WHEN does what it should..)
** incomplete manual
- ** :IGNORE-ERRORS-P cruft in stems-and-flags.lisp-expr
+ ** :IGNORE-ERRORS-P cruft in stems-and-flags.lisp-expr. (It's
+ reasonable to support this as a crutch when initially

+ embarrassing to have to use it when bootstrapping
+ under SBCL!),
** weird double-loading (first in GENESIS, then in warm init)
of src/assembly/target/*.lisp stuff, and the associated
weirdness of the half-baked state (compiler almost but
to remove dead symbols
* made system handle stack overflow safely unless SAFETY is dominated
by SPEED or SPACE
-* Probably get rid of or at least rework the fdefinition/encapsulation
- system so that (SYMBOL-FUNCTION 'FOO) = (FDEFINITION 'FOO).
+* Either get rid of or at least rework the fdefinition/encapsulation
+ system so that (SYMBOL-FUNCTION 'FOO) is identically equal to
