Download link: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sbcl/sbcl-1.0.30-source.tar.bz2?download changes in sbcl-1.0.30 relative to sbcl-1.0.29: * minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor of SB-THREAD:THREAD-ERROR-THREAD. * new contrib module: SB-QUEUE provides thread-safe lockless FIFO queues. * new feature: docstrings for local and anonymous functions are no longer discarded. (thanks to Leslie Polzer) * new feature: SB-THREAD:SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD provides access to symbol values in other threads. * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information about object allocation. * optimization: division of a real float by a complex float is implemented with a specialised code sequence. * optimization: MAKE-INSTANCE with non-constant class-argument but constant keywords is an order of magnitude faster. * optimization: MAKE-INSTANCE with constant keyword arguments is x2-4 faster in the presence of :AROUND or non-standard primary INITIALIZE-INSTANCE methods, and similarly for non-standard metaclass classes as long as there are no methods additional on MAKE-INSTANCE. * optimization: more efficient type-checks for FIXNUMs when the value is known to be a signed word on x86 and x86-64. * optimization: compiler now optimizes (EXPT -1 INTEGER), (EXPT -1.0 INTEGER), and (EXPT -1.0d0 INTEGER) into an ODDP test. (thanks to Stas Boukarev and Paul Khuong) * optimization: compiler is smarter about delegating argument type checks to callees.(Continue reading)
