[Sbcl-announce] sbcl-1.1.17 released

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

Dear all,

I have just released and uploaded sbcl-1.1.17 to sourceforge.  Of
particular note this release: the SPARC register-allocation bug has been
identified and fixed by Alastair Bridgewater and Paul Khuong, and the
implementation of DEFSTRUCT accessors has changed (making out-of-line
calls to the faster).  The full release notes are appended to this
message.

Best wishes,

Christophe
