NATIVE-NAMESTRING still uses \ as the separator. + ** bug fix: stackoverwriting due to incorrect usage of PeekConsoleInput + on Windows. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry) + ** bug fix: build now works on cygwin with GCC 4.x installed. (thanks to + Kalyanov Dmitry) + ** bug fix: run-sbcl.sh now works on Cygwin. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry) + * bug fix: compiler failed to derive the result-type of MAKE-ARRAY as + (AND VECTOR (NOT SIMPLE-ARRAY)) when appropriate. (lp#309130) + * bug fix: (THE (VALUES ...)) in LOAD-TIME-VALUE caused a compiler-error. + (lp#646796) + * bug fix: interrupts arriving during CL:OPEN caused an error. + * bug fix: overeager character buffering could cause input to block + spuriously when reading from a pipe (lp#643686) + * bug fix: more efficient timer expiry should avoid starvation on systems + where number of SIGALRMs per second is restricted. (lp#375515) + * bug fix: non-unicode builds no longer fail (broken since 1.0.36.15). + * bug fix: compile-times no longer scale linearly with the size of + quoted lists in source-code. (lp#654289) + * bug fix: better errors for unknown external-formats in OPEN. (lp#561974) + * bug fix: DEBUG>SPEED no longer degrades ALIEN-FUNCALL performance quite + so badly. (lp#654485) + * bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT:FIND-DEFINITION-SOURCES-BY-NAME no longer signals + an error for eg. STRUCTURE. (lp#458015) + * bug fix: LOOP WITH NIL = ... signalled an unused variable style-warning. + (lp#613871, thanks to Roman Marynchak) + * bug fix: more reliable &REST list type derivation. (lp#655203) + * bug fix: PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK multiply-evaluated :PER-LINE-PREFIX, + and issued pointles code-deletion notes for it, :PREFIX, and :SUFFIX. + * bug fix: the compiler didn't utilize the proclaimed ftype for functions + also declared NOTINLINE. (lp#655581) + * bug fix: the compiler could attempt to emit constant left shifts of + greater value than n-word-bits. (lp#309063) + * bug fix: (SETF SYMBOL-FUNCTION) and (SETF FDEFINITION) clear derived + type information for the function being set. (lp#659220) + * bug fix: the system used to signal bogus STYLE-WARNINGs when functions + containing self-calls were recompiled with a new signature, and failed + to warn when a self-call using the old signature was left in. (lp#655126) + * bug fix: incorrect FILE-POSITION on streams opened using :EXTERNAL-FORMAT + :DEFAULT when the default external had character size other than 8 bits. + (lp#657183) + * bug fix: derived types of functions in the same file were implicitly + trusted, leading to potential heap corruption when those function were + defined incompatibly.

(lp#660752) + * bug fix: the system can store different docstrings for a single function + under different names. (lp#661631, regression from 1.0.29.24) + * bug fix: source-locations of DEFGENERIC forms weren't getting recorded + properly.
