- Update to version 1.2.10
* One thing that is not mentioned in the release notes, but which
has been exercising developers recently, is a warning for the near
future: some interfaces which are currently in "early" deprecation
status (and so are emitting style-warnings at compilation-time)
will in the next release cycle or two start emitting full warnings,
either at compilation time or at load time. Particular interfaces
signalling warnings causing problems to some users include:
SB-EXT:QUIT, and the SB-THREAD:SPINLOCK API. If anyone is using
those, now is the time to update to SB-EXT:EXIT and
SB-THREAD:MUTEX respectively. (See also the "Deprecated Interfaces"
chapter in the manual).
* minor incompatible change:
+ all SOCKINT::WIN32-* functions have been deprecated with
EARLY deprecation state
+ performing introspection via the system-internal SB-INT:INFO
function could expose that :TYPE :TRANSLATOR is not
necessarily a function, as it always was before. (Affects
swank-fancy-inspector)
* enhancement:
+ The value of SXHASH on bit-vectors of length equal to the
word size now depends on the vector's contents instead of
being constant; its value on bit-vectors of length divisible
by the word size now depends also on the contents of the
vector's last word.
* bug-fix:
+ sb-bsd-sockets on win32 uses proper C function declarations.
(lp#1426667)
+ A new dead code elimination phase removes dead code loops
that confuse stack analysis. (lp#1255782, lp#308914)
