New in version 1.3.10
* enhancement: more compact low-level error signaling code
* enhancement: more compact encoding of cross-reference information
* optimization: faster out of line fixnum-float comparisons.
* optimization: filling a known simple-vector with a constant value is about
as fast in unoptimized code as in code compiled with (SPEED 3), and the
x86-64 implementation is able to use SSE instructions.
* bug fix: correctly handle the case of a non-local exit within a function
terminating the extent of dynamic-extent functions and variables in the
presence of multiple-values (#1563127)
* bug fix: restore builds on the latest OSX with the latest Xcode (#1470996)
New in version 1.3.9
* minor incompatible change: NAMESTRING prefers to return a BASE-STRING
instead of (ARRAY CHARACTER (*)) when possible.
* enhancement: cached make-instance/allocate-instance constructors can now
get garbage collected.
* optimization: better performance for some unoptimized operations on complex
numbers.
* bug fix: using the options :LOCAL-NICKNAMES and :LOCK in the same
DEFPACKAGE form no longer signals a bogus error
New in version 1.3.8
* minor incompatible change: the system now understands that the CONDITION
type is disjoint with many other system types.
* minor incompatible change: argument types in condition report functions are
now declared (in combination with the above change, this can result in
early detection of erroneous code).
* enhancement: simple arrays of any rank can be stack-allocated on platforms
supporting stack allocation of vectors.
* optimization: improved type derivation for FIND, POSITION, COUNT, SEARCH,
MISMATCH and other array and sequence functions.
* optimization: ALLOCATE-INSTANCE is now as fast as MAKE-INSTANCE.
* optimization: more efficient CHANGE-CLASS.
* bug fix: versions of getresuid() and getresgid() in SB-POSIX no longer
cause memory faults, and should work properly (#1603806, reported by Kieran
Grant)
* bug fix: handle ENOENT from getprotobyname() (#1596043, reported by Stephen
Hassard)
New in version 1.3.7
* bug fix: preserve the name of the destructive function for the destroyed
constant and important result warnings, even when declared NOTINLINE.
* optimization: faster operations on list-sets.
* optimization: better type derivation of set functions. (#1592152)
* optimization: load-time TLS-INDEX assignment, and other microoptimizations,
on x86.
* optimizations in:
+ APPEND;
+ ECASE/ETYPECASE;
+ ARRAY-DIMENSIONS;
+ ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE;
+ REMOVE, REMOVE-DUPLICATES, DELETE and DELETE-DUPLICATES on lists.
New in version 1.3.6
* bug fix: do not insert conditional newlines in print-unreadable-object
(#1398290). This reverses a change made in #488979 which reversed a fix
advertised in release 0.8.14 to pass the GCL ANSI Test Suite.
* bug fix: constant negative rotations of 32-bit quantities are compiled
correctly on x86-64 and arm. (#1586614, reported by Guillaume Le Vaillant)
