[Sbcl-announce] sbcl-1.2.14 released

[Christophe R. <cs...@ca...>]

Dear all,

I have released sbcl-1.2.14.  Because of Sourceforge's continuing
partial outage, I have not been able to upload source and binaries for
download, but the version in git is tagged and the project web pages at
<http://sbcl.org/> are otherwise updated.  A summary of the changes in
this release is included below.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.2.14 relative to sbcl-1.2.13:
  * minor incompatible change: The name of a compiled anonymous lambda
    as returned by the third value of FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION can have
    a lambda-list-like list following the introductory LAMBDA that is not
    in general a syntactically valid lambda list. Specifically, it won't
    retain default values, supplied-p variables, or &KEY or &AUX bindings.
  * enhancement: DESTRUCTURING-BIND has been totally reimplemented from
    scratch to address a handful of performance and correctness issues.
    Some minor behavioral differences exist regarding order of evaluation
    of default forms for unsupplied &OPTIONAL and &KEY arguments
    when nested destructuring patterns are involved.
    (lp#707556, lp#707573, lp#707578, lp#708051)
  * enhancement: DEFCONSTANT and DEFSTRUCT respect package locks. (lp#1186238,
    lp#1036716)
  * enhancement: sb-unicode:normalize-string has a new optional argument,
    FILTER, a callback which controls which decomposed characters are
    collected. Useful for stripping away diacritics more efficiently.
  * bug fix: (TYPE-OF ARRAY) for a non-simple array is subject to change
    after a call of ADJUST-ARRAY. (lp#1333731)
  * bug fix: Dynamic-extent allocation with a loop between allocating a value
    and the start of its environment no longer discards the allocated data
    when the loop is taken. (lp#1472785)
  * bug fix: Variable-reference elimination no longer generates incorrect code
    under certain circumstances. (lp#1446891)
  * bug fix: variables with EQL types are no longer treated as constants by
    VOPs, which caused problems with closures being allocated for such
    variables, but they remained unused. (lp#1390149)
  * bug fix: Windows installer generates registry key name
    correctly. (lp#1476447)
