(reported by Paul Nathan) + * bug fix: Parsing of &optional/&key/&rest arguments now never overwrites + arguments during copying on x86 and x86-64; it may still happen on other + platforms when there are more fixed arguments than stack slots. + (reported by Jan Moringen) + +changes in sbcl-1.1.11 relative to sbcl-1.1.10: + * enhancement: support building the manual under texinfo version 5. + (lp#1189146) + * enhancement: Windows builds no longer display the "Kitten of Death" message. + A warning is instead appended to the regular banner, and may be muted with + --noinform.
