--------------------
* New command line option -disable-readline lets working around bugs and
incompatibilities between readline CLISP was built against and the
library actually installed.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp.html#opt-norl> for details.
* FFI:OPEN-FOREIGN-LIBRARY now accepts the :REQUIRE argument.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-open-lib> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* is respected by REQUIRE
and used by "clisp-link install".
Dynamic modules are now the default build option.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/require.html> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp-link.html> for details.
* Function RENAME-FILE now accepts :IF-EXISTS argument which determines
the action when the destination exists, unless, of course, *ANSI* is T.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/file-func.html#rename-file> for details.
* The replacement value entered by the user in STORE-VALUE and USE-VALUE
restarts is now EVALuated.
* The old user variable CUSTOM:*PRINT-CLOSURE* now controls interpreted
closure output too (RFE#3001956). This is a tricky feature, read up!
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/multi-rep.html#pr-closure>.
* Module readline now supports readline 6.1.
(Older versions are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/readline-mod.html> for details.
* Module pcre now supports pcre 8.01.
(Older versions are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/pcre.html> for details.
* Module libsvm does not come with the upstream sources anymore, install
locally and pass --with-libsvm-prefix to the top-level configure instead.
All upstream versions up to 2.91 are supported.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/libsvm.html> for details.
* Module berkeley-db now supports Berkeley-DB 4.8.
(Older versions are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/berkeley-db.html> for details.
* Module postgresql now supports PostgreSQL 8.4.
(Older versions are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/postgresql.html> for details.
* Module pari has been updated to support both 64 & 32 bit platforms
with and without GMP.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/pari.html> for details.
* New functions OS:VERSION-COMPARE et al call strverscmp.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#strverscmp> for details.
* Bug fixes:
+ Do not eliminate function calls which are advertised to have
exceptional situation in unsafe code (bug#2868166).
+ Fix an internal error in DECLAIM on bad OPTIMIZE quality (bug#2868147).
+ CLEAR-INPUT now clears the EOF condition on file streams (bug#2902716).

* ANSI compliance:
+ Implement the ANSI issue COMPILER-DIAGNOSTICS:USE-HANDLER: use the
CL Condition System for compiler diagnostics.
+ STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE on empty CONCATENATED-STREAMs now returns NIL
because nothing can be read from such streams (bug#3014921).
