changes in sbcl-1.0.55 relative to sbcl-1.0.54: * enhancements to building SBCL using make.sh: ** --fancy can be specified to enable all supported feature enhancements. ** --(Continue reading)with-≤feature> and --without-≤feature> can be used to specify which features to build with. ** --arch option can be used to specify the architecture to build for. (Mainly useful for building 32-bit SBCL's on x86-64 hosts, not full-blows cross-compilation.) * enhancement: extended package prefix syntax <pkgname>::<form-in-package> which allows specifying name of the default interning package for the whole form. * enhancement: when *READ-EVAL* is true, arrays with element type other than T can be printed readably using #.-based syntax. (Thanks to Robert Brown) * enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN signals a storage-condition instead of returning a null alien when malloc() fails. (lp#891268) * enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-UNREADABLY restart for PRINT-NOT-READABLE conditions can be conveniently accessed through function with the same name, analogously to CONTINUE. * enhancement: SB-EXT:*SUPPRESS-PRINT-ERRORS* can be used to suppress errors from the printer by type, causing an error marker to be printed instead. (Thanks to Attila Lendvai) * enhancement: BACKTRACE and DESCRIBE now bind *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T, and generally behave better when errors occur during printing. * enhancement: the test runner now takes a --report-skipped-tests argument to report the individual tests skipped as well as the number of skipped tests. * enhancement: undefined functions now appear in backtraces as ("undefined function") instead of ("bogus stack frame") on x86oids. * enhancement: detected deadlocks no longer cause stderr to be spammed, and deadlock errors are reported in an easier-to-decipher manner. * enhancement: DESCRIBE on type designators reports the expansion in more cases. * enhancement: SBCL now provides either an explicit
