+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.14:
+ * new feature: the iterative spilling/coloring register allocator developed
+ by Alexandra Barchunova during Google Summer of Code 2013 is now merged
+ in. By default, it only activates for functions that optimize with
+ (speed 3) and (> speed compilation-speed), but setting
+ sb-regalloc:*register-allocation-method* to :iterative forces its
+ execution. The previous behaviour can be obtained by instead setting that
+ variable to :greedy. Thanks again to Google for their support, and, more
+ crucially, to Alexandra Barchunova for her hard work.
+ * optimization: make-array with known element-type and unknown dimensions is
+ much faster.
+ * optimization: make-array with unknown element-type is faster as well.
+ (lp#1004501)
+ * enhancement: sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die on Windows now accepts
+ :application-type argument, which can be :console or :gui. :gui allows
+ having GUI applications without an automatically appearing console window.
+ * enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms:
+ conservative roots must be valid-looking tagged pointers or point
+ within a code object, not merely point to within the allocated part
+ of a page, in order to pin a page.
+ * enhancement: support for "Mac Roman" external format.
+ * enhancement: encapsulation of named generic functions now happens without
+ altering the identity of the function bound to the name.
+ * bug fix: Windows applications without the console window no longer misbehave.
+ (patch by Wilfredo Velazquez, lp#1256034).
+ * bug fix: modular arithmetic optimizations do not stumble on dead branches
+ with bad constants. (reported by Douglas Katzman)
+ * bug fix: CLISP can be used again as a cross-compilation host.
+ (Thanks to Vasily Postnicov, lp#1261451)
+ * bug fix: run-program crashed with :directory nil. (lp#1265077)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.14 relative to sbcl-1.1.13:
* optimization: complicated TYPEP tests are less opaque to the type
propagation pass. (lp#1229340)
* optimization: [N]BUTLAST perform a single pass over the list. (lp#1245697)
