changes in sbcl-1.1.12 relative to sbcl-1.1.11:
* enhancement: Add sb-bsd-sockets:socket-shutdown, for calling
shutdown(3). (thanks to Jan Moringen, lp#1207483)
* enhancement: document extensible sequences. (thanks to Jan Moringen,
lp#994528)
* optimization: EQUAL and EQUALP transforms are smarter.
(thanks to Elias Martenson, lp#1220084)
* optimization: CHAR-EQUAL is faster for constant and base-char arguments.
* bug fix: probe-file now can access symlinks to pipes and sockets in
/proc/pid/fd on Linux. (reported by Eric Schulte)
* bug fix: SBCL can now be built on Solaris x86-64.
* bug fix: Floating point exceptions do not persist on Solaris anymore.
* bug fix: (setf . a) is pprinted correctly (reported by Douglas Katzman).
* bug fix: handle compiler-error in LOAD when it's not run from inside EVAL.
(lp#1219601)
* bug fix: SB-GMP:MPZ-POW no longer segfaults given a non-bignum base.
(thanks to Stephan Frank)
* bug fix: space allocation of result bignums in SB-GMP is more accurate.
(thanks to Stephan Frank, lp#1206191)
* bug fix: sb-safepoint can now reliably handle signal interruptions of
foreign code. (lp#1133018)
* bug fix: the compiler-macro for MAKE-INSTANCE when emitting "fallback"
constructors no longer fails to merge actual and default initargs
(thanks to Jan Moringen, lp#1179858)
* bug fix: the compiler-macro for MAKE-INSTANCE when emitting "fallback"
constructors handles non-KEYWORD initialization arguments more correctly.
* bug fix: loading the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contributed module no longer
clobbers FILE-NAMESTRING. (thanks to Anton Kovalenko, lp#884603)
* bug fix: class definitions with CPLs inconsistent with their metaclasses
are less likely to destroy the object system's integrity. (lp#309076)
* bug fix: restart clause parsing in RESTART-CASE is more in line with the
standard. (lp#1203585, thanks to Jan Moringen)
* bug fix: silence a note from RESTART-CASE under high-SPEED optimization
settings. (lp#1023721)
* bug fix: getting the order of arguments to
SB-MOP:SET-FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE-FUNCTION wrong produces a sensible error
rather than a failed AVER. (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.
