Version 0.9.9 of SBCL is now on the usual sf.net CVS/HTTP places. Enjoy. From the NEWS file in the distribution: changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8: * new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating system has been added. (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater) * fixed several bugs in and robustified the PPC FFI (including callbacks). (thanks to Cyrus Harmon and Heiner Schwarte) * bug fix: allow non-simple string symbol names (reported by Paul Dietz) * bug fix: interrupt handling on NetBSD (thanks to Richard M Kreuter) * bug fix: saving a core corrupted callbacks on x86/x86-64 * bug fix: closed a loophole in metacircularity detection and grounding in the PCL implementation of CLOS. * bug fix: TRUENAME on "/" no longer returns a relative pathname. (reported by tomppa on #lisp) * bug fix: clear the direction flag on Lisp -> C transitions, as required by the x86-64 ABI. Fixes mysterious GC crashes on SuSE. (reported by Andrej Grozin and Hendrik Maryns) * optimization: major improvements to GC efficiency on GENCGC platforms * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL * optimization: emit more efficient opcodes for some common immediate->register MOV instructions on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler) * optimization: several other minor code-generation improvements on x86-64 * fixed segfaults on x86 FreeBSD 7-current.
