(thanks to Aymeric Vincent) + * optimization: calls of the form (AREF FOO (+ INDEX )) now + produce more efficient code on the x86 if the compiler can determine + that (+ INDEX ) does not require a bounds check and FOO + has an element type at least 8 bits wide. + * bug fix: references to undefined variables are handled the same way + in toplevel forms as in the normal compiler + * bug fix: the build scripts again work with non-bash /bin/sh (thanks + to Magnus Henoch) + * bug fix: use "gtar" as the asdf-install *TAR-PROGRAM* on NetBSD + (thanks to Jon Buller) + * improvement: faster compilation times for complex functions + * improvement: added readlink support to SB-POSIX (thanks to Richard + M Kreuter) + +changes in sbcl-1.0.2 relative to sbcl-1.0.1: + * improvement: experimental support for mach exception handling on + x86/macos. requires building with :MACH-EXCEPTION-HANDLER feature + to use. + * improvement: support for GBK external format. + (thanks to Chun Tian (binghe)) + * improvement: the debugger now displays variables that have been closed + over, in code compiled with (DEBUG 2) or higher + * improvement: support for executable cores on NetBSD (thanks to + Richard Kreuter) + * new feature: added a RESTART-FRAME debugger command + * new feature: new generic function SB-GRAY:STREAM-FILE-POSITION can + be used to provide an implementation for FILE-POSITION on Gray streams + (thanks to Eric Marsden) + * new feature: add syslog, openlog and closelog support to SB-POSIX + (thanks to Richard Kreuter) + * optimization: the function call overhead in code compiled with + a high DEBUG optimization setting is significantly + * bug fix: an error is signaled for attempts to use READ-SEQUENCE + for a (SIGNED-BYTE 8) stream and (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) vector, or vice versa. + (thanks to Tony Martinez) + * bug fix: the initforms for DEFMETHOD &AUX parameters are only + evaluated once (reported by Kevin Reid) + * bug fix: the :SHOW-PROGRESS keyword parameter to SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING + works again (thanks to Kilian Sprotte) + * bug fix: an error is signaled for tagbodies with duplicate tags + (thanks to Stephen Wilson) + * bug fix: NIL can be used as a tagbody tag (thanks to Stephen Wilson) + * bug fix: Win32 port can now handle foreign code unwinding Lisp + stack frames from alien callbacks. + * bug fix: ATANH returned incorrect results on win32 (thanks to Pierre Mai) + * bug fix: SBCL works on Linux/ppc systems with a kernel configured to use + 65k pages (thanks to David Woodhouse) + * bug fix: fix SB-POSIX dirent and socket on NetBSD (thanks to Richard Kreuter) + changes in sbcl-1.0.1 relative to sbcl-1.0: + * new platform: FreeBSD/x86-64, including support for threading. + * new feature: the compiler stores cross-referencing information + abount function calls (who-calls), macroexpansion (who-macroexpands) + and special variables (who-binds, who-sets, who-references) for code + compiled with (< SPACE 3). This information is available through the + sb-introspect contrib. + * new feature: users may subclass SEQUENCE, and have instances of + these classes interoperate with standard Common Lisp functions if + a number of methods are defined. (This feature is experimental + and the interface subject to change based on feedback from SBCL + users and the general community) * improvement: sb-sprof traces call stacks to an arbitrary depth on x86/x86-64, rather than the previous fixed depth of 8 + * improvement: another pthread back-end of mutex "pthread-futex". * bug fix: non-ascii command-line arguments are processed correctly (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk) - * bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL (and function end breakpoints) - work on Windows. * bug fix: non-required arguments were not passed correctly when a method defined using DEFMETHOD was called from a mop-generated method using CALL-NEXT-METHOD (reported by Pascal Costanza) + * bug fix: recursion is now permitted in accessors through + SLOT-UNBOUND. (reported by Pascal Costanza) + * bug fix: an error was signaled at startup if the HOME environment + variable was defined, but had an empty value (reported by Peter Van Eynde) + * bug fix: non ordinary lambda-list keyword in ordinary lambda lists + signal a PROGRAM-ERROR, not a BUG. + * bug fix: SB-POSIX:READDIR works when built with large file support. + * bug fix: ENOUGH-NAMESTRING works relative to #p"/" as well. (thanks + to Marco Monteiro) + * enhancement: DESTRUCTURING-BIND lambda-list uses &BODY instead of &REST + for better automatic indentation support. (thanks to Matt Pillsbury) + * optimization: loading generic functions no longer takes O(n^2) time, + proportional to the amount of methods in the generic function + (reported by Todd Sabin and Jeremy Brown) + * optimization: the FIND and POSITION family of sequence functions + are significantly faster on arrays whose element types have been + declared. + * improvements to the Windows port: + ** Intermittent heap corruption problems have been fixed. (thanks + to Alastair Bridgewater) + ** TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL (and function end breakpoints) + work on Windows. + ** Lisp is able to unwind foreign exception frames from alien + callbacks. (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater) changes in sbcl-1.0 relative to sbcl-0.9.18: * improvement: experimental support for threading on FreeBSD/x86.
