(thanks to Leslie Polzer) + * improvement: a STYLE-WARNING is signalled when a generic function + clobbers an earlier FTYPE proclamation. + * improvement: the compiler is able to track the effective type of + generic function across method addition and removal even in the + absence of an explicit DEFGENERIC. + * improvement: DESCRIBE now reports on symbols naming undefined + but assumed or declared function as well. + * improvement: recompilation of systems using SB-GROVEL now works + (thanks to Leslie Polzer) + * improvements to SB-CLTL2 (thanks to Larry D'Anna): + ** functions DECLARATION-INFORMATION, PARSE-MACRO, and ENCLOSE have been + documented. + ** DECLARATION-INFORMATION now supports declaration name DECLARATION as + well. + * improvement: improved address space layout on OpenBSD (thanks to Josh + Elsasser) + * improvement: pretty-printing of various Lisp forms has been improved + (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler) + * bug fix: a failing AVER in CONVERT-MV-CALL has been fixed. (thanks to + Larry D'Anna) + * bug fix: SLEEP supports times over 100 million seconds on long on OpenBSD + as well. (reported by Josh Elsasser) + * bug fix: DELETE-FILE on streams no longer closes the stream with :ABORT T, + leading to possible attempts to delete the same file twice. See docstring + on DELETE-FILE for details. (reported by John Fremlin) + * bug fix: the low-level debugger had 32-bit assumptions and was missing + information about some array types. (thanks to Luis Oliveira) + * bug fix: moderately complex combinations of inline expansions could + be miscompiled if the result was declared to be dynamic extent. + * bug fix: in some cases no compiler note about failure to stack allocate + was emitted, even if the objects were in fact heap allocated. + * bug fix: minor violation of "otherwise inaccessible" rule for stack + allocation could cause objects users might reasonably expect to + be heap allocated to be stack allocated. + * bug fix: DESCRIBE signalled an error for generic functions under + certain circumstances. (thanks to Leslie Polzer) + changes in sbcl-1.0.30 relative to sbcl-1.0.29: * minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor
