changes in sbcl-1.4.2 relative to sbcl-1.4.1:
  * minor incompatible change: SB-EXT:QUIT is no longer marked as deprecated
    and behaves like SB-EXT:EXIT.
  * enhancement: ASDF updated to 3.3.1. The ASDF release is dedicated to
    the late Elias Pipping who put enormous amounts of work into it despite
    his terminal illness. Thank you and rest in peace.  (lp#1681201)
  * enhancement: alien routines compiled with '-fsanitize=thread' and/or
    '-fsanitize=memory' cause fewer false positives in error reporting.
  * optimization: fewer instances of consing float constants at runtime.
  * bug fix: a number of compiler bugs detected by Paul F. Dietz' randomized
    tester.  (lp#1731503, lp#1730699, lp#1723993, lp#1730434, lp#1661911,
    lp#1729639, lp#1729471, lp#1728692)
  * bug fix: better errors from NAMESTRING and friends on pathnames with no
    namestrings.  (lp#792154)
  * bug fix: EQUAL and EQUALP compiler transforms were too confident in
    deriving a result.  (lp#1732277, lp#1732225)
  * bug fix: FILL sometimes returned the underlying data vector rather than
    the given array.  (lp#1732553)
  * bug fix: SEARCH returned the wrong answer in some cases.  (lp#1732952)
  * bug fix: the type (COMPLEX INTEGER) behaves more as specified by Function
    TYPEP, which has stronger constraints than System Class COMPLEX.
