[<wil...@ai...>]

and should be available on sf.net CVS repository and File Releases page.


from the NEWS file in the distribution:
changes in sbcl-1.0.9 relative to sbcl-1.0.8:
  * minor incompatible change: SB-SYS:OUTPUT-RAW-BYTES is deprecated.
  * enhancement: SB-EXT:FINALIZE accepts a :DONT-SAVE keyword argument,
    indicating the finalizer should be cancelled when SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE
    is called.
  * enhancement: default PRINT-OBJECT methods for classes, slot-definitions,
    and generic function now print the object identity for anonymous
    instances. (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
  * enhancement: as an extension to MOP, SBCL now supports SETF of
    STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS.
    (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
  * enhancement: sb-cover has an alternate annotation mode which puts
    the form annotations at the car of the form, instead of annotating
    it completely. The benefit of this mode is that it shows better
    which forms were instrumented by the compiler.
  * bug fix: new compiler transforms for MEMBER and ASSOC were affected
    by printer control variables. (reported by Dan Corkill)
  * bug fix: system leaked memory when delayed output was performed by
    the OS in smaller chunks then expected. (thanks to David Smith)
  * bug fix: system leaked memory when file streams were not closed 
    properly.
  * bug fix: large objects written to slow streams that were modified
    after the write could end up with the modified state written to
    the underlying file descriptor.
  * bug fix: multiple threads operating in parallel on the same stream
    could cause buffer-overflows.
  * bug fix: source location information is stored correctly 
    (broken since 1.0.6). This bug would generally show up as the
    Slime debugger higlighting the wrong form when the sldb-show-source
    command was used.
  * bug fix: Branch forms are again annotated as branches in the sb-cover
    annotations.
  * bug fix: GCD on MOST-NEGATIVE-FIXNUM no longer causes an infinite loop
    on x86-64. (reported by Gregory Vanuxem)
  * bug fix: EQUALP could return wrong results for structures with raw
    slots (slots with a :TYPE of SINGLE-FLOAT, DOUBLE-FLOAT, or a machine
    word). (reported by Vjacheslav Fyodorov)
  * bug fix: sb-sprof sampling didn't work on non-x86oid platforms. (patch
    by Pierre Mai)
