from the NEWS file in the distribution:
changes in sbcl-1.0.5 relative to sbcl-1.0.4:
* incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS
information anyway.
* minor incompatible change: changed experimental JOIN-THREAD interface
* documentation: the manual now lists reader and writer methods
in class slot documentation sections. (thanks to Richard M Kreuter)
* documentation: unwinding from asyncronous events has been
documented as unsafe.
* documentation: SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING has been documented as unsafe
in multithreaded application code.
* optimization: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME has been optimized on POSIX
platforms. (thanks to James Anderson for the optimization hint)
* optimization: REPLACE, SUBSEQ, and COPY-SEQ are now optimized in
more cases.
* optimization: STRING-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATER-P} and their NOT-
variants no longer cons.
* optimization: Direct calls to CHAR-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATERP} and
their NOT- variants no longer cons.
* optimization: EQUAL hash tables no longer use SXHASH for objects
of all data types, but instead use an EQL hash for types for which
EQUAL is the same as EQL.
* optimization: the non-inlined generic versions of AREF and (SETF AREF)
are significantly faster.
* optimization: new STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM implementation is much
faster for large outputs and conses 30% less on average.
* enhancement: XREF information is now collected for references made
