changes in sbcl-1.5.0 relative to sbcl-1.4.16:
  * enhancement: SB-COVER emulates IN-PACKAGE when recording source maps;
    this makes it possible to generate coverage for forms that uses local
    package nicknames, or otherwise must be read in the correct package.
  * build enhancement: new host quirks mechanism, support for building under
    ABCL and ECL (as well as CCL, CMUCL, CLISP and SBCL itself)
  * optimization: (FIND-SYMBOL x "P") for constant "P" executes faster,
    subject to "P" not being a package-local nickname of any
    package. Similarly INTERN.  (lp#1814924)
  * optimization: bounds checks are elided when possible where the same array
    is dereferenced multiple times.
  * bug fix: initargs are now deduplicated when computing effective slots.
  * bug fix: TREE-EQUAL with :TEST 'EQL now correctly computes its answer.
    (reported by Bahodir Mansurov)
  * bug fix: compiled (COERCE x 'FLOAT) no longer coerces double-floats into
    single-floats.  (reported by J. Gareth Williams)

sbcl Debian release 2:1.4.16-1

Upstream version 1.4.16

changes in sbcl-1.4.16 relative to sbcl-1.4.15:
  * minor incompatible change: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST no longer establishes
    a CONTINUE restart in case of an error.
  * minor incompatible change: Defining macros (DEFVAR, etc) which require a
    symbol as the name will fail to macroexpand if given a non-symbol.
  * enhancement: the unexported restart names SB-{ALIEN,FASL,IMPL,PCL}::RETRY
    have been replaced by SB-EXT:RETRY.

sbcl Debian release 2:1.4.15-1

Upstream version 1.4.15

changes in sbcl-1.4.15 relative to sbcl-1.4.14:
  * enhancement: added AVX2 instructions on x86-64, which can be used with
    SB-SIMD-PACK.
  * enhancement: specializer name parsing is less lenient and signals a
    specific condition in case of syntax errors. (lp#1808681)
  * enhancement: provide interactive restarts for some file-system errors.
  * enhancement: COMPILE no longer acquires the world lock.
    (fixes most occurrences of lp#308959)
  * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM is more responsive and less likely to deadlock
    (lp#1702178, lp#1808641)
  * bug fix: traceroot can search for simple-fun targets (lp#1808659, reported
    by Michal Herda)
  * compiler bug fixes:
    ** related to code generation: lp#1805899, lp#1806982, lp#1807455
    ** related to interpreting and constant-folding: lp#1806513
    ** related to the type system: lp#1804759, lp#1804796
    ** related to eq-testing of structure slots: lp#1809582, lp#1808273
    ** related to dynamic-extent: lp#1809565, lp#1809253, lp#1809485,
       lp#1739652
    ** related to GC safety: lp#308949

sbcl Debian release 2:1.4.14-1

Upstream version 1.4.14

changes in sbcl-1.4.14 relative to sbcl-1.4.13:
  * enhancement: attempting to build on openbsd 6.0 or newer without
    the wxallowed mount option now results in a more useful error message.
  * enhancement: by popular demand, SB-EXT now exports two functions
    HEAP-ALLOCATED-P and STACK-ALLOCATED-P to assist in writing debug
    assertions that objects in hash-tables are not stack-allocated, etc.
  * bug fix: restored sb-thread support on OpenBSD.

sbcl Debian release 2:1.4.13-1

Upstream version 1.4.13

changes in sbcl-1.4.13 relative to sbcl-1.4.12:
  * minor incompatible change: PRINT-TYPE and PRINT-TYPE-SPECIFIER are not
    exported from SB-EXT. These were never announced, so this change would
    only affects users who discovered these undocumented functions.
  * enhancement: SB-EXT:SEARCH-ROOTS and SB-EXT:GC-AND-SEARCH-ROOTS
    are supported on all backends that use gencgc.

sbcl Debian release 2:1.4.12-1

Upstream version 1.4.12

changes in sbcl-1.4.12 relative to sbcl-1.4.11:
  * minor incompatible change: a number of platform-specific elements of
    *FEATURES* related to whether the system implements particular strategies
    have been removed.
  * minor incompatible change: some changes to the (internal) implementation
    details of the x86 and x86-64 have necessitated changes to some low-level
    libraries.
  * enhancement: attempting to transfer control through GO or RETURN-FROM to
    frames which no longer exist are now caught and handled by the debugger.
  * enhancement: identical code (at the machine instruction level) can now be
    shared between functions, if explicitly requested.
  * enhancement: SB-EXT:STRING-TO-OCTETS and SB-EXT:OCTETS-TO-STRING are now
    documented.
  * bug fixes: fix a number of bugs revealed by random testing (lp#1793171,
    lp#1793150, lp#1791550, lp#1792030, lp#1791059, lp#1790157, lp#1790717,
    lp#1790703)

sbcl Debian release 2:1.4.11-1

Upstream version 1.4.11

changes in sbcl-1.4.11 relative to sbcl-1.4.10:
  * minor incompatible change: changes to the (internal) assembler on x86
    and x86-64 may cause problems to some low-level third-party libraries:
    ** new macro EA for defining an effective address, without size
       information;
    ** an explicit size modifier is now needed for MOVSX and MOVSZ
       instructions;
    ** MOVD and MOVQ move a single size of operand by definition.
  * enhancement: support the latest MinGW (lp#1786731, reported by il71)
  * enhancement: checks for modifications of constants can now be done in
    local (FLET/LABELS) functions.
  * optimization: improved type checking routines for various compound types.
  * optimization: array bound checks are elided on vectors when the index is
    known to be less than the length, including LOOP ACROSS.
  * optimization: the register allocator's use of temporaries is somewhat
    improved.
  * optimization: checking widetags involves fewer conditional jumps on x86
    and x86-64.
  * bug fix: fix a number of bugs related to constant improper lists as
    sequence arguments (lp#1768563, lp#1768568, lp#1768652)
