sbcl-0.8.14 has been released. Historically I have signed releases with MD5. Now, since MD5 collisions were reported at the Crypto conference and some doubt was cast on SHA-1 too -- see, e.g., http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/archives/000664.html -- I am unsure how best to sign releases. Probably I'll figure something out by next month (or just learn what the new consensus on best practice is, and crib from that). For this month, though, no signatures. from the NEWS file in the distribution: changes in sbcl-0.8.14 relative to sbcl-0.8.13: * incompatible change: the internal functions SB-KERNEL:32BIT-LOGICAL-FOO, intended for providing efficient logical operations on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) values, have been renamed to SB-KERNEL:WORD-LOGICAL-FOO. Modular arithmetic should be used instead of the old functions. * new feature: on platforms where "dladdr" is available foreign function names now appear in backtraces. (based on Helmut Eller's work for CMUCL) * documentation: documentation for SB-BSD-SOCKETS, SB-GRAY, SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS, and SB-PROFILE have been integrated into the user manual. * documentation: ASDF manual is now distributed with SBCL. * bug fix: SBCL can now load its contributed modules with REQUIRE even if the system-provided entries have been removed from ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY*. Infinite recursion in REQUIRE is also detected. * bug fix: backtraces involving undefined functions or assembly(Continue reading)
