+ changes relative to sbcl-1.1.1:
3
+ * notice: System requirements for SBCL on Microsoft Windows: Windows NT 5.1
4
+ or newer (Windows XP, Server 2003) is required. Support for Windows 2000
5
+ (NT 5.0) is no longer being maintained.
6
+ * notice: Starting with this version, SBCL on Windows no longer supports
7
+ building with disabled thread support.
8
+ * enhancement: frlocks have been added to SB-CONCURRENCY contrib module.
9
+ * enhancement: New feature sb-dynamic-core allows the runtime to be
10
+ rebuilt or relocated without requiring changes to the core file on
11
+ all linkage table platforms. Required on Windows. (Thanks to Anton
12
+ Kovalenko.)
13
+ * enhancement: Console I/O streams use UCS-2. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
14
+ * enhancement: I/O on Windows unnamed pipes is interruptible
15
+ asynchronously using interrupt-thread, timers when running on Windows NT
16
+ version 6.1 or newer (Windows 7, Server 2008 R2). (Thanks to Anton
17
+ Kovalenko.)
18
+ * enhancement: Support for the experimental safepoint-based stop-the-world
19
+ protocol on the PowerPC platform.
20
+ * bug fix: Non-blocking reads from the Windows console were not necessarily
21
+ non-blocking. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko. (lp#308923)
22
+ * bug fix: stability of threads on Windows has been improved upon through
23
+ an updated stop-the-world protocol (thanks to Anton Kovalenko).
24
+
25
+ changes in sbcl-1.1.1 relative to sbcl-1.1.0:
26
+ * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT no longer grabs the world-lock.
27
+ (COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE still do.)
28
+ * optimization: The compiler no longer rotates loops in some cases where
29
+ this transformation actually lead to worse code being generated.
30
+ * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:MACROEXPAND-ALL correctly handles shadowing of
31
+ symbol-macros by lexical bindings.
32
+ * bug fix: stack allocation was prevented by high DEBUG declaration in
33
+ several cases.
34
+ * bug fix: SB-EXT:GC-LOGFILE signaled an error when no logfile was set.
35
+ (thanks to SANO Masatoshi)
36
+ * bug fix: PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING performed non-native parsing when
37
+ :JUNK-ALLOWED was true.
38
+ * bug fix: type derivation inferred overly conservative types for
39
+ unions of array types. (lp#1050768)

41
+ changes in sbcl-1.1.0 relative to sbcl-1.0.58:
42
+ * enhancement: New variable, sb-ext:*disassemble-annotate* for controlling
43
+ source annotation of DISASSEMBLE output. Defaults to T.
44
+ * enhancement: TIMEOUT arguments added to WITH-MUTEX and WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK, and
45
+ WAIT-P argument added to WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK.
46
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-PUSH and SB-EXT:ATOMIC-POP allow atomic operations
47
+ on list heads.
48
+ * enhancement: Optional features (not enabled by default) allow the
49
+ use of signals for inter-thread synchronization to be reduced on certain
50
+ supported platforms (currently Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD on x86 and
51
+ x86-64). Set (and :sb-thread :sb-safepoint :sb-thruption :sb-wtimer)
52
+ to test these experimental features. Known remaining bugs include minor
53
+ thread safety issues, less timely freeing of memory by GC, and certain
54
+ (not yet optimally low) runtime overhead. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.
55
+ * optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT of lists are faster and use fewer
56
+ comparisons, particularly on almost-sorted inputs.
57
+ * bug fix: Reading floats with large exponents no longer takes too much time
58
+ before reporting that the exponent is too large.
59
+ * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:SOCKET-RECEIVE with a UDP socket now works
60
+ correctly when the received datagram is larger than the provided buffer.
61
+ (lp#1023438, thanks to Robert Uhl)
62
+ * bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION returned a bogus read-form when given
63
+ a SYMBOL-VALUE form with a constant symbol argument.
64
+ * bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION signaled an error when a macro expanding
65
+ into a DEFCAS defined place was used as the place.
66
+ * bug fix: FIND and POSITION signaled a type-error when non-bits where looked
67
+ for from bit-vectors.
68
+ * documentation: a section on random number generation has been added to the
69
+ manual. (lp#656839)
