See also: + SB-EXT:WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE, and + SB-EXT:HASH-TABLE-SYNCHRONIZED-P. + * optimization: CONCATENATE on strings is an order of magnitue faster + in code compiled with (> SPEED SPACE). + * optimization: SUBSEQ is ~50% faster on lists. + * bug fix: bug 417 fixed -- source location reporting is now more robust. + * bug fix: SUBSEQ on a list will now correctly signal an error if if + END is smaller then START. + * bug fix: SB-PROFILE will no longer report extra consing for nested + calls to profiled functions. + * bug fix: ROOM implementation had bogus fixnum declarations which + could cause type-errors when calling ROOM on large images. + * bug fix: if file compilation is aborted, the partial fasl is now + deleted, and COMPILE-FILE returns NIL as the primary value. + * bug fix: number of thread safety issues relating to SBCL's internal + hash-table usage have been fixed. + * bug fix: SB-SYS:WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS could cause garbage values to + be returned from its body when the values were being returned + using unknown-values return convection and the W-P-O was wrapped + inside an UNWIND-PROTECT. + * bug fix: sb-posix should now compile again under Windows, enabling + slime to work again. + +changes in sbcl-1.0.11 relative to sbcl-1.0.10: + * incompatible change: hash-table accessor functions are no longer + automatically protected by locks. Concurrent accesses on the same hash-table + from multiple threads can give inconsistent results or even corrupt the + hash-table completely. Multi-threaded applications should do their own + locking at the correct granularity. In the current implementation it is + still safe to have multiple readers access the same table, but it's not + guaranteed that this property will be maintained in future releases. + * minor incompatible change: (SETF MUTEX-VALUE) is not longer supported, + and will signal an error at runtime. + * enhancement: SB-THREAD package now exports a semaphore interface. + * enhancement: CONS can now stack-allocate on x86 and + x86-64. (Earlier LIST and LIST* supported stack-allocation, but + CONS did not.) + * enhancement: nested lists can now be stack allocated on + platforms providing stack allocation support. + * enhancement: dynamic-extent support has been extended to support + cases where there are multiple possible sources for the stack + allocated value. + * optimization: RELEASE-MUTEX no longer needs to perform a syscall + if the mutex is uncontested on Linux. + * bug fix: symbol-macro expansion now uses the *MACROEXPAND-HOOK* + as specified by the CLHS. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler) + * bug fix: NaN comparison now works on x86-64. + * bug fix: CLOSE :ABORT T on a stream with pending output now + works. + * bug fix: instances of non-standard metaclasses using standard + instance structure protocol sometimes missed the slot type checks + in safe code. + * bug fix: known functions can be inlined in high-debug code. + changes in sbcl-1.0.10 relative to sbcl-1.0.9: - * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) are now >20% faster - for variable slot names, when the class of the instance is - an instance of STANDARD-CLASS or FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, and not - any of their subclasses. + * minor incompatible change: the MSI installer on Windows no longer + associates .lisp and .fasl files with the installed SBCL. + * minor incompatible change: :UNIX is no longer present in *FEATURES* + on Windows. (thanks to Luis Oliviera) + * new feature: SB-CLTL2 contrib module now implements + FUNCTION-INFORMATION. (thanks to Larry D'Anna) + * optimization: scavenging weak pointers is now more efficient, + requiring O(1) instead of O(N) per weak pointer to identify + scanvenged vs. unscavenged pointers. (thanks to Paul Khuong) + * optimization: typechecking (SETF SLOT-VALUE) is now ~5x faster in + method bodies using constant slot-names when the first argument is + a specializer parameter for the method. + * optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are now ~50% faster for variable slot + names, when the class of the instance is a direct instance + STANDARD-CLASS or FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS (making them only 3x + as slow as the constant slot-name case.) * optimization: member type construction is now O(N) instead of O(N^2). * optimization: UNION and NUNION are now O(N+M) for large inputs as long as the :TEST function is one of EQ, EQL, EQUAL, or EQUALP. + * enhancement: DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO lambda-list information is + now more readable in environments like Slime which display it. + (thanks to Tobias C. Rittweiler) + * bug fix: SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP was non-atomic unless the compiler + was able to infer the correct argument type for the object on which + the CAS operation was being performed. + * bug fix: copy propagation interfered with parallel assignment + semantics in local calls. (reported by Paul Khuong) + * bug fix: the signed modular fixnum shift compiled to wrong code on + x86 and x86-64. (spotted by a slight modification to some of + PFD's random tests) changes in sbcl-1.0.9 relative to sbcl-1.0.8: * minor incompatible change: SB-SYS:OUTPUT-RAW-BYTES is deprecated.
