(thanks to Aymeric Vincent) * improvement: support O_LARGEFILE access to files larger than 2GB on - x86-64/linux. (thanks to Daniel Janus) + x86-64/linux. (thanks to Daniel Janus; launchpad bug #453080) * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:WHO-SPECIALIZES-DIRECTLY to get a list of definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself. * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:WHO-SPECIALIZES-GENERALLY to get a list of definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself, or on subclasses of it. - * fixes and improvements related to external formats: + * new build flag: :sb-xref-for-internals; SBCL will collect xref information + about itself during the build (e.g. for M-? in Slime), if this flag is + enabled in customize-target-features.lisp. This will increase the core + size by about 5-6mb, though, so it's mostly interesting to SBCL + developers. + * fixes and improvements related to Unicode and external formats: + ** the Unicode character database has been upgraded to the + Unicode 5.2 standard, giving names and properties to a number of new + characters, and providing a few extra characters with case + transformations. + ** improvement: restarts for providing replacement input/output on coding + errors for fd-stream external formats. + ** improvement: where : is a keyword corresponding to an + external format the system supports, it is now possible to specify + (: :replacement ) as an external format which will + automatically substitute on encoding or decoding errors for + streams and for STRING-TO-OCTETS and its inverse. (launchpad bug + #317072) + ** improvement: the file streams underlying the standard streams (such as + *STANDARD-INPUT*, *TERMINAL-IO*) are opened with an external format + which uses the replacement mechanism to handle encoding errors, + preventing various infinite error chains and unrecoverable I/O + confusion. + ** minor incompatible change: the utf-8 external format now correctly + refuses to encode Lisp characters in the surrogate range (char-codes + between #xd800 and #xdfff). ** fix a typo preventing conversion of strings into octet vectors - in the latin-2 encoding. (reported by Attila Lendvai) + in the latin-2 encoding. (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug + #471689) + ** fix a bug in the octet multibyte handling of decoding errors and the + USE-VALUE restart. (launchpad bug #314939) + ** fix the bug underlying the expected failure in the FORCE-END-OF-FILE + restart on fd-stream decoding errors. + ** fix a bug in the ATTEMPT-RESYNC fd-stream decoding restart when the + error is near the end of file. + ** fix a double-error case in unibyte octet conversions, when the first + use of USE-VALUE is ignored. + ** fix bugs in handling of undefined code points in unibyte encodings. + ** fix LISTEN (and consequent hangs in READ-CHAR-NO-HANG) on bivalent + streams after an UNREAD-CHAR. + * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also reports if the + object is allocated in a boxed region of dynamic space. + * bug fix: uses of slot accessors on specialized method parameters within + the bodies of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS methods no longer triggers a type + error while finalizing the class. This fix may cause classes with slot + accessors to be finalized later than previously. (reported by Lars Rune + Nøstdal; launchpad bug #473699) * bug fix: restore buildability on the MIPS platform. (regression from 1.0.30.38, reported by Samium Gromoff) * bug fix: inspecting closures is less likely to fail with a type error. - * bug fix: no timer starvation when setting the system clock back + * bug fix: no timer starvation when setting the system clock back. + (launchpad bug #460283) + * bug fix: WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX now binds *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* to the + standard pprint dispatch table as specified by CLHS. + * bug fix: give CLISP a hint about a type declaration to enable it to build + the cross-compiler without warnings. (thanks to Josh Elasser; launchpad + bug #396597) + * bug fix: correctly dump literal objects in defaulting forms of arglists. + (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug #310132) + * bug fix: distinguish in type specifiers between arrays that might be + complex and arrays that are definitely complex. (launchpad bug #309129) changes in sbcl-1.0.32 relative to sbcl-1.0.31: * optimization: faster FIND and POSITION on strings of unknown element type
