(lp#937001) + +changes in sbcl-1.1.2 relative to sbcl-1.1.1: + * notice: System requirements for SBCL on Microsoft Windows: Windows NT 5.1 + or newer (Windows XP, Server 2003) is required. Support for Windows 2000 + (NT 5.0) is no longer being maintained. + * notice: Starting with this version, SBCL on Windows no longer supports + building with disabled thread support. + * enhancement: frlocks have been added to SB-CONCURRENCY contrib module. + * enhancement: New feature sb-dynamic-core allows the runtime to be + rebuilt or relocated without requiring changes to the core file on + all linkage table platforms. Required on Windows. (Thanks to Anton + Kovalenko.) + * enhancement: Console I/O streams use UCS-2. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.) + * enhancement: I/O on Windows unnamed pipes is interruptible + asynchronously using interrupt-thread, timers when running on Windows NT + version 6.1 or newer (Windows 7, Server 2008 R2). (Thanks to Anton + Kovalenko.) + * enhancement: Support for the experimental safepoint-based stop-the-world + protocol on the PowerPC platform. + * bug fix: Non-blocking reads from the Windows console were not necessarily + non-blocking. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko. (lp#308923) + * bug fix: stability of threads on Windows has been improved upon through + an updated stop-the-world protocol (thanks to Anton Kovalenko). + +changes in sbcl-1.1.1 relative to sbcl-1.1.0: * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT no longer grabs the world-lock. (COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE still do.) + * optimization: the SPARC backend now supports the precise generational + (GENCGC) garbage collection. Enabled by default on Solaris/SPARC and + Linux/SPARC. Thanks to Raymond Toy (via CMUCL). + * enhancement: add experimental support for the SB-THREAD feature and the + timer facility on Windows. Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko. + Threads are enabled by default, and this version of SBCL is considered + to be the last and final release to officially support building with + threads disabled. + * optimization: The compiler no longer rotates loops in some cases where + this transformation actually lead to worse code being generated. * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:MACROEXPAND-ALL correctly handles shadowing of symbol-macros by lexical bindings. * bug fix: stack allocation was prevented by high DEBUG declaration in
