[Sbcl-announce] sbcl-1.5.1 released

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

Dear all,

Greetings from Genoa/Genova/Genua, where I have just performed the
monthly release ritual; find sbcl-1.5.1 tagged in git and on your
favourite SBCL download sites.  The summary of changes is below, and if
anyone reading this is in Genova for the European Lisp Symposium, please
do say "hi" over the next couple of days.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.5.1 relative to sbcl-1.5.0:
  * enhancement: restarts for missing package errors.
  * optimization: FIND-PACKAGE should be faster even when run in the context
    of a package with local package-nicknames.
  * optimization: fix TRUNCATE deftransform's results to have well-defined
    signs
  * bug fix: thread-safety problems in RUN-PROGRAM with :PTY.
  * bug fix: SLEEP transform could never fire.
  * build enhancement: defend against quirky host floating point
    implementation
  * test enhancement: allow more parallelism in running the
    regression test suite
