    Debian Release 1.0.49.0-1
    
  • sbcl-1.0.50

    changes in sbcl-1.0.50 relative to sbcl-1.0.49:
      * enhancement: errors from FD handlers now provide a restart to remove
        the offending handler.
      * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:FIND-DEFINITION-SOURCE now works on structure
        copiers as well.
      * enhancement: location of user or system initialization file can now easily
        be customized for saved cores. See: SB-EXT:*USERINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*
        and SB-EXT:*SYSINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*.
      * enhancement: SB-EXT:MAKE-THREAD accepts an argument list designator for
        the thunk, as a keyword argument, :arguments.
      * enhancement: constraint propagation is simplified (and sped up) when
        COMPILATION-SPEED > SPEED.
      * enhancement: SB-ALIEN exports alien type specifiers SIZE-T and OFF-T.
      * enhancement: debugger understands &MORE arguments better.
      * optimization: extracting bits of a single-float on x86-64 has been
        optimized. (lp#555201)
      * optimization: MAP and MAP-INTO are more efficient for non-simple vectors,
        when (> SPEED SPACE).
      * optimization: local call trampolines (x86 and x86-64) are emitted
        inline.
      * optimization: implicit value cells for dynamic-extent closed-over bindings
        on x86 and x86-64 can hold unboxed values as well.
      * meta-optimization: improved compilation speed, especially for large
        functions. (lp#792363 and lp#394206)
      * bug fix: bound derivation for floating point operations is now more
        careful about rounding possibly closing open bounds. (lp#793771)
      * bug fix: SB-POSIX:SYSCALL-ERROR's argument is now optional. (accidental
        backwards incompatible change in 1.0.48.27)
      * bug fix: occasional debugger errors in when a type-error occured in a
        function with dynamic-extent &rest list.
      * bug fix: &optional and &key supplied-p arguments in DEFSTRUCT
        boa-construtors can be used to initialized structure slots.
      * bug fix: FMAKUNBOUND removes the MACRO-FUNCTION, should one exist.
        (lp#795705, regression)

      * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM no longer fails spuriously when argument strings
        are of the order of ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT. (lp#787237)
      * bug fix: the compiler no longer constant-folds NaNs in
        MAKE-{SINGLE,DOUBLE}-FLOAT. (lp#486812)
      * bug fix: FORMAT now handles floating point rounding correct, eg.
        (format nil "~,1F" 0.01) => "0.0" instead of "0.01" as previously.
        (lp#308961)
      * bug fix: style warning during lambda-list introspection of generic
        functions with both optional and key argments.
      * bug fix: regalloc doesn't barf on unused TNs due to type-directed constant
        folding. (lp#729765)
      * bug fix: Fixed an off-by-one in MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS that might have caused
        infinite loops.
  • sbcl_1_0_49

    changes in sbcl-1.0.49 relative to sbcl-1.0.48:
      * minor incompatible change: WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE no longer disables
        interrupts for its body.
      * enhancement: source locations are now available for files loaded as
        source, compile-time-too evaluation, and initialization files.
      * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :SOURCE-NAMESTRING allows providing
        virtual source-file information, eg. overriding input-file of COMPILE-FILE
        when a temporary file is used for compilation.
      * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.015.3.
      * enhancement: backtraces involving frames from the default evaluator are
        more readable.
      * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM works with user-defined binary input and output
        streams.
      * enhancement: more informative compile-time warnings and runtime errors for
        type-errors detected at compile-time.
      * enhancement: deadlock detection for mutexes and spinlocks.
      * enhancement: dynamic-extent for &rest lists stack allocate only their
        spines, not their argumets. While portable code should not rely on this,
        particularly in combination with inlining, it should make dynamic-extent
        easier to use safely.
      * enhancement: SB-POSIX improvements:
        ** WNOHANG and WUNTRACED are exported.
        ** SYSCALL-ERROR now also provides the name of the failing system call.
      * enhancement: --script improvements:
        ** errors on standard input, output, and error streams are handled and
           cause scripts to exit silently, making them easier to use in shell
           pipelines.
        ** backtraces from scripts now go to standard error instead of the
           terminal even if one is available.
        ** --script can be an argument, causing the script to be loaded from
           standard input.
      * enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN-STRING provides an easy way to transport lisp
        strings to foreign memory.
      * enhancement: (SETF GC-LOGFILE) allows logging garbage collections to
        a file, making it easier to understand heap dynamics.
      * optimization: using a &REST argument only in APPLY or VALUES-LIST calls
        allows the compiler to automatically elide rest-list allocation so long as
        the call sites are in functions that the compiler knows cannot escape.
        (lp#504575)
      * optimization: CALL-NEXT-METHOD using explicit arguments is faster,
        especially in safe code when none of the required arguments have changed
        their identities.
      * bug fix: blocking reads from FIFOs created by RUN-PROGRAM were
        uninterruptible, as well as blocking reads from socket streams created
        with for which :SERVE-EVENTS NIL. (regression from 1.0.42.43)
      * bug fix: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR now removes dispatch-macro character syntax
        from the to-char if the from-char is not a dispatch-macro character.
      * bug fix: references to undefined variables in function calls that are
        optimized away now signal a runtime error. (lp#722734)
      * bug fix: miscompilation of MULTIPLE-VALUE-CALL when asserting derived
        types from a function defined in the same file. (regression from
        1.0.43.57)
      * bug fix: TRULY-THE forms are now macroexpandable and setf-expandable.
        (lp#771673)
      * bug fix: spurious errors during QUIT when standard streams were closed.
  • sbcl_1_0_48

    changes in sbcl-1.0.48 relative to sbcl-1.0.47:
      * incompatible change: SB!KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA, deprecated for over five
        years, is now no longer supported.
      * enhancement: read() and write() have been added to SB-POSIX.
      * enhancement: types of DEFSTRUCT constructors are proclaimed more
        accurately, allowing better typechecking of call-sites.
      * enhancement: errors during compile-time-too processing (i.e. EVAL-WHEN)
        are no longer caught. (reverted to pre 1.0.34 behaviour)
      * optimization: slightly faster ISQRT. (lp#713343)
      * bug fix: better support for Solaris /bin/sh in sh-based tests.
      * bug fix: TRACE behaves better when attempting to trace undefined
        functions. (lp#740717)
      * bug fix: missed optimizations for (FUNCALL (LAMBDA ...) ...) in comparison
        to (FUNCALL #'(LAMBDA ...) ...).
      * bug fix: ((LAMBDA ...) ...) forms with invalid argument counts resulted in
        a compile-time error. (lp#720382)
      * bug fix: forms such as (FUNCALL (FUNCTION NAME OOPS) ...) were compiled
        without complaints.
      * bug fix: less verbose source forms for functions from EVAL. (lp#747485)
      * bug fix: sense of SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS was inverted in a MAKE-INSTANCE
        optimization. (regression from 1.0.45.18/1.0.46.15)
      * bug fix: package locks did not protects against compile-time side-effects
        of DEFUN. (lp#675584)
      * bug fix: --dynamic-space-size argument is validated more carefully.
        (lp#721457)
      * bug fix: memory fault from printing a malformed simple-condition.
        (lp#705690)
      * bug fix: redefining classes so that slot-definition classes change now
        engages the obsolete instance protocol. (lp#766271)
      * bug fix: constant improper lists could break source coverage recording.
        (lp#767959)
      * bug fix: compiling calls to eg. MEMBER with massive constant list arguments
        could exhaust stack.

    changes in sbcl-1.0.47 relative to sbcl-1.0.46:
      * bug fix: fix mach port rights leaks in mach exception handling code on
        darwin/x86 and /x86-64. (thanks to Willem Oudshoorn for motivation and the
        initial patch)
      * enhancement: --script muffles style-warnings and compiler notes. (lp#677779)
      * enhancement: redefinition warnings for macros from different files. (lp#434657)
      * enhancement: better MACHINE-VERSION on Darwin x86 and x86-64. (lp#668332)
      * enhancement: (FORMAT "foo" ...) and similar signal a compile-time warning. (lp#327223)
      * enhancement: no more "in: LAMBDA NIL" messages from the compiler for forms
        processed using EVAL -- now the appropriate toplevel form is reported instead.
      * enhancement: more legible style-warnings for inappropriate IGNORE and IGNORABLE
        declarations. (lp#726331)
      * enhancement: :NOT-NULL option has been added to alien C-STRING type to indicate
        that NIL/NULL is excluded from the type.
      * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:MAP-ROOT allows mapping over pointers contained in
        arbitrary objects.
      * optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are faster in the presence of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS
        and its compatriots.
      * optimization: core startup time is reduced by 30% on x86-64. (lp#557357)
      * bug fix: SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST guards against potentially leaking
        stack-allocated values out of their dynamic-extent. (lp#310175)
      * bug fix: attempts to use SB-SPROF for wallclock profiling on threaded
        x86-64 builds caused a type-error.
      * bug fix: calling COMPILE with something else than a lambda-expression as the
        second argument reports a more sensible error. (lp#718905)
      * bug fix: invalid combinations of :PREDICATE and :TYPE options in DEFSTRUCT
        are detected. (lp#520607)
      * bug fix: constant keyword argument checking didn't take :ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS
        into account.
      * bug fix: SLOT-BOUNDP information is correct during MAKE-INSTANCE in the
        presence of (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS) and SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS
        methods. (regression from 1.0.45.18)
      * bug fix: INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods supplying initargs via
        CALL-NEXT-METHOD work correctly. (regression from 1.0.45.19)
      * bug fix: several foreign functions accepting string also accepted NIL and
        consequently caused a memory fault at 0 now signal a type-error instead.
        (lp#721087)
      * bug fix: under rare circumstances, constraint propagation could rewrite a
        variable reference to refer to a variable not in scope, causing an error
        during physical environment analysis when attempting to close over the
        variable. (lp#551227)
      * bug fix: SIMPLE-CONDITION :FORMAT-CONTROL defaults to NIL.
  • sbcl_1_0_46

    changes in sbcl-1.0.46 relative to sbcl-1.0.45:
      * enhancement: largefile support on Solaris.
      * enhancement: SB-PROFILE:REPORT now supports :LIMIT and :PRINT-NO-CALL-LIST
        arguments (lp#710017)
      * enhancement: SB-PCL:+SLOT-UNBOUND+ is exported, making it possible to
        distinguish unbound instance slots when using STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS
        &co. (lp#718039)
      * optimization: ERROR and CERROR are approximately 5 times faster.
      * optimization: optimized constructors are used for MAKE-INSTANCE of classes
        with applicable non-standard (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS),
        SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS, and INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods, speeding
        up instance creation in those cases.
      * optimization: arithmetic operations with multiple constant arguments in now
        have them reduced at compile-time. (lp#676414)
      * optimization: determining current character position on string-streams for
        pretty-printing was overly slow.
      * bug fix: local tail calls to DYNAMIC-EXTENT functions can no longer cause
        lifetime analysis to overwrite closed-over variables (lp#681092).
      * bug fix: encoding errors from some multibyte external formats such as EUC-JP
        were not handled correctly (lp#713063).
      * bug fix: printing waitqueue objects without setting *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T is now
        safe (lp#673630).
      * bug fix: Solaris/x86-64 wasn't getting built with lutex support by
        mistake. (lp#667297).
      * bug fix: CONSTANTLY generated functions had bogus lambda-lists. (lp#713626)
      * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM :PTY option was racy on OpenBSD. (lp#669485)
      * bug fix: UNINTERN takes a symbol, not a symbol designator -- could previously
        unintern the wrong symbol with the same name. (lp#693796)
      * bug fix: COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH always has access to a pristine table,
        making it possible to restore the initial table if it has been messed up.
        (lp#678409)
  • sbcl_1_0_45

    changes in sbcl-1.0.45 relative to sbcl-1.0.44:
      * enhancement: ~/ and ~user/ are treated specially in pathnames.
        Refer to documentation for details.
      * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.010.
      * optimization: mutated closed-over variables that are only accessed by
        DYNAMIC-EXTENT closures (currently only FLET and LABELS functions
        declared to be DYNAMIC-EXTENT) are stored directly in their containing
        stack frame, rather than allocating a VALUE-CELL (lp#586103).
      * optimization: UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup functions are now declared
        DYNAMIC-EXTENT.
      * bug fix: backtracing function with &REST arguments now shows the full
        argument list. (lp#310173)
      * bug fix: return types for functions with complex lambda-lists are now
        derived properly (lp#384892)
      * bug fix: when SPEED > SPACE compiling CONCATENATE 'STRING with constant
        long string arguments slowed the compiler down to a crawl.
      * bug fix: closure VALUE-CELLs are no longer stack-allocated (lp#308934).
      * bug fix: non-standard MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA methods could break RETURN-FROM
        in the DEFMETHOD body.
      * bug fix: #<SB-C::DEFINED-FUN ...> should no longer appear in compiler
        messages, being instead replaced with the corresponding function name.
      * bug fix: don't derive overly complex unions of numeric types for arithmetic
        operators. (lp#309448)
