changes in sbcl-2.2.7 relative to sbcl-2.2.6:
* minor incompatible change: the compiler emits full WARNINGs for undefined
references to variables in TYPE and DYNAMIC-EXTENT declarations, and for
SETQ of an undefined variable. (This was the historic behaviour for
everything except the DYNAMIC-EXTENT case, which used to emit a
STYLE-WARNING, but these diagnostics got lost in a refactoring since
sbcl-2.2.2)
* minor incompatible change: literal objects (strings, in particular)
in compiled code may at the discretion of the runtime be placed in
read-only memory. Violations of CLHS 3.7.1 could produce memory faults.
If ":PURIFY NIL" is given to SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE then no read-only memory
will be used.
* enhancement: Unicode support has been updated to support version 10.0.0 of
the Unicode standard, including addition of characters and refinements to
breaking and collation algorithms.
* bug fix: AVX is no longer used for loading simd-pack-256 constants.
(lp#1928097)
* bug fix: fix building the manual when some contribs are blocked or
otherwise disabled. (lp#1979821, thanks to Robert Schiele)
* bug fix: fix type derivation of sequence functions with highly-specific
declared argument types. (lp#1980292, reported by James Kalenius)
* bug fix: internal error when optimizing chains of conditionals in local
functions. (lp#1981607, reported by Pasha K)
* bug fix: fix comparison of negative floats with bignums.
* optimization: faster TRUNCATE with float arguments.
* optimization: EQUALP hashing of large floating point values should
generate less garbage.
