(thanks to Richard M Kreuter) + * documentation: unwinding from asyncronous events has been + documented as unsafe. + * documentation: SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING has been documented as unsafe + in multithreaded application code. + * optimization: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME has been optimized on POSIX + platforms. (thanks to James Anderson for the optimization hint) + * optimization: REPLACE, SUBSEQ, and COPY-SEQ are now optimized in + more cases. + * enhancement: XREF information is now collected to references made + to global variables using SYMBOL-VALUE with a constant argument. + * bug fix: dead unbound variable references now signal an error. + (reported by Marco Monteiro) + * bug fix: / with an unused value was being deleted in safe code. + (thanks to Marco Monteiro and Kevin Reid) + * bug fix: number of characters that can be written onto a single + line in a file is unlimited. + * bug fix: some GC deadlocks caused by asynchronous interrupts have + been fixed by inhibiting interrupts for when GC is disbled. + * bug fix: GETHASH, PUTHASH, CLRHASH and REMHASH are now interrupt safe. + * bug fix: binding *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS* to a value that is not a type + specifier no longer causes infinite recursion. + * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests and + should be considered non-experimental. + changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3: + * new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS). * incompatible change: the thread-safe (on most platforms) getaddrinfo and getnameinfo sockets functions are used instead of gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname, on platforms where the newer functions are available. As a result, the ALIASES field of HOST-ENT will always be NIL on these platforms. - * bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs. + * change: runtimes with embedded cores (i.e. saved with :EXECUTABLE T) + don't print the startup banner, but behave as if --noinform was passed + as a command line argument. (thanks to Kevin Reid) + * new experimental feature: added JOIN-THREAD (by NIIMI Satoshi) + * optimization: code using alien values with undeclared types is much faster. + * optimization: the compiler is now able to open code SEARCH in more cases. + * optimization: more compact typechecks on x86-64 (thanks to Lutz Euler) + * bug fix: using standardized COMMON-LISP special variables as loop + variables no longer signals bogus package lock violations. (reported + by Eric Marsden) + * bug fix: declaring local loop variables to be of a range-limited type + such as (SINGLE-FLOAT 1.0 2.0) no longer causes a compile-time error. + (reported by Andras Simon) + * bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs. (Some NaN + bugs remain on x86-64.) * bug fix: the #= and ## reader macros now interact reasonably with funcallable instances. + * bug fix: type-checks for function arguments were compiled using the + compiler policy settings of the wrong lexical environment (in 1.0.2 + and 1.0.3). + * bug fix: SHADOW accepts characters as string designators, as required + by the spec (thanks to Eric Marsden) + * bug fix: fixed GC safety issues when foreign functions are called with + non-base strings as arguments + * bug fix: more consistent error output for fatal-compiler-warnings, like + reader errors + * bug fix: functions with proper names were showing up as NIL in + backtraces (reported by Edi Weitz, regression in 1.0.2) changes in sbcl-1.0.3 relative to sbcl-1.0.2: * new platform: NetBSD/PPC.
