See documentation for details. (based on work by + Kevin Reid) + * new feature: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE can save current values of + --dynamic-space-size and --control-stack-size in the executable core, + causing it to skip normal runtime option processing. See documentation + for details. (thanks to Zach Beane) + * enhancement: inoccous calls to EVAL or generic functions dispatching + on subclasses of eg. STREAM no longer cause compiler notes to appear. + * enhancement: the system no longer resignals errors from --load and + --eval toplevel arguments as SIMPLE-ERRORS, which caused restarts + associated with the original error to be lost. (thanks to Ariel + Badichi) + * enhancement: :DONT-SAVE keyword argument has been added to + LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT for controlling interaction with + SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE, and UNLOAD-SHARED-OBJECT can be used to undo + the effects of an earlier LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT call. + * bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY on multidimensional arrays used bogusly give + them a fill pointer unless :DISPLACED-TO or :INITIAL-CONTENTS were + provided. (reported by Cedric St-Jean) + * bug fix: circularity handling in the reader did not treat raw + structure slots correctly. (reported by Cedric St-Jean) + * bug fix: SERVE-EVENT occasionally signaled an error about bogus + file descriptors when there were none. + * bug fix: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO support of destructuring lambda-lists + was broken. (reporteed by Willem Broekema) + * bug fix: SB-EXT:NATIVE-NAMESTRING on Windows did not work on + pathnames without a directory. + * bug fix: COMPILE-FILE did not warn about undefined variable + references at toplevel, and LOAD of the resulting fasl did + not signal an error. + * bug fix: functions with non-required arguments used to end up with + (SB-C::&OPTIONAL-DISPATCH ...) as their name. + * bug fix: redefining a function with non-required arguments didn't + update the system's knowledge about its call signature properly. + * bug fix: fixed #431; incompatible alien record type redefinitions + are detected and handled. (reported by Neil Haven) + +changes in sbcl-1.0.21 relative to 1.0.20: + * new feature: the compiler is able to track the effective type of a + generic function across method addition and removal. + * new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF allows atomic incrementation of + appropriately typed structure slots without locking. + * new feature: SB-EXT:CALL-WITH-TIMING provides access to timing + information like those gathered by TIME using a programming-friendly + interface. + * new feature: TIME reports time taken even if the form performs a + non-local transfer of control. * enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms: on average 45% less pages pinned (measured from SBCL self build). * bug fix: SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP on SYMBOL-VALUE can no longer mutate constant symbols or violate declaimed type of the symbol. + * bug fix: SB-THREAD:SIGNAL-SEMAPHORE could fail to wakeup threads + sleeping on the semaphore in heavily contested semaphores. + * bug fix: semaphores and condition variables were not interrupt + safe. + * bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT doesn't allow waits on mutexes + owned by other threads anymore. + * bug fix: FIND on lists called KEY outside the specified + subsequence. (reported by budden) + * bug fix: LOG doesn't use single-float intermediate results when + given mixed integer and double-float arguments, leading to better + precision. (reported by Bob Felts) + * bug fix: LOG with base zero returned values of inconsistent type. changes in sbcl-1.0.20 relative to 1.0.19: * minor incompatible change: OPTIMIZE qualities
