(thanks to Thiemo Seufer) + * bug fix: discriminating functions for generic function classes + with non-standard methods for COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS no longer + make invalid assumptions about method precedence order. (reported + by Bruno Haible) + * bug fix: degree sign () could not be encoded in KOI8-R. + * bug fix: correct pathname printing with printer escaping is on. + (thanks to Kevin Reid) + * bug fix: complex VOP definitions in "user-space" no longer trigger + package locks. (reported by Zach Beane) + * optimizations: REMOVE-DUPLICATES now runs in linear time on + lists in some cases. This partially fixes bug 384. + * flush all standard streams before prompting in the REPL and the + debugger. + * minor incompatible change: eof selects abort in the debugger. + * minor incompatible change: *INVOKE-DEBUGGER-HOOK* is run before + *DEBUGGER-HOOK* => *DEBUGGER-HOOK* is not run when the debugger + is disabled. + * threads + ** bug fix: release-foreground doesn't choke on session lock if + there is only one thread in the session + +changes in sbcl-0.9.3 relative to sbcl-0.9.2: + * New feature: Experimental support for bivalent streams: streams + opened with :element-type :default now allow character and binary + (unsigned-byte 8) I/O + * Support for the koi8-r external format. (thanks to Ivan Boldyrev) + * Bug fix: OPEN no longer fails when *PRINT-READABLY* is T. (thanks + to Zach Beane) + * bug fix: no more highly sporadic "couldn't check whether ~S is + readable" when reading a stream and an interrupt hits in the middle + of a select system call + * compiler better recognizes complex arrays (reported by Eduardo + Muñoz) + * bug fix: out-of-line SB-SYS:FOREIGN-SYMBOL-ADDRESS did not work + for variables on SBCL built with linkage-tables. (reported by Luis + Oliveira) + * various error reporting improvements. + * optimizations: LOGNOR on fixnums is improved in the MIPS backend. + (Thanks to Thiemo Seufer) + * bug fix: nested reader invokations work correctly + * bug fix: it is possible to have simultaneous references to foreign + code and foreign data with the same name. + * threads + ** added x86-64 support + ** incompatible change: the threading api now works with thread + objects instead of thread ids + ** bug fix: threads are protected from signals and interruption when + starting up or going down + ** bug fix: a race where an exiting thread could lose its stack to gc + ** bug fix: don't halt on infinite error in threads if possible + ** fixed numerous gc deadlocks introduced in the pthread merge + ** bug fix: fixed thread safety issues in read and print + ** bug fix: debugger doesn't hang on session lock if interrupted at + an inappropriate moment + ** bug fix: run-program is now thread safe(r) + ** bug fix: inner with-recursive-lock no longer releases the mutex + * fixed a bug in (DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 0) (reported by Paul Dietz) + * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite: + ** TYPE-ERRORs from signalled by COERCE now have DATUM and + EXPECTED-TYPE slots filled. + ** MULTIPLE-VALUE-SETQ always returns the primary value of the + values form. + ** MAKE-CONDITION accepts classes as type-designators. + ** COMPILE may never return NIL. + ** ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now guards against times out of Unix's + range before calling Unix time functions + changes in sbcl-0.9.2 relative to sbcl-0.9.1: * numerous signal handling fixes to increase stability * Support for EUC-JP external format.
