and (SIGNED-BYTE 8). LISTEN and PEEK-CHAR had to be modified so that
they work with CONCATENATED-STREAMS. OPEN now signals errors of type
FILE-ERROR when a file cannot be opened.
+ Several special functions (ASIN, ACOS, ASINH, ...) have been reimplemented
using more stable formulas found in CMUCL, plus the functions from the C
mathematical library. They also serve as examples of how to use FFI:C-INLINE.
+ Several errors regarding packages have been rewritten as correctable errors,
and now the carry clearer messages.
+ In functions dealing with sequences, :COUNT can now be a bignum.
+ In the bytecodes compiler, MULTIPLE-VALUE-PROG1 did not save the values.
WILD-PATHNAME-P implemented.
PROBE-FILE and TRUENAME now complain when passed a pathname with wild components.
Fixed a bug in GENTEMP.
Some missing symbols are now defined (*PRINT-MARGIN*, etc), even though not used.
Destructuring lambda lists now identify NIL or '() as an empty list.
Fixed INTEGER-LENGTH and LOGCOUNT (they now work with bignums).
SYMBOL-MACROLET now complains about redefinition of global variables.
ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST now outputs the two requird values and produces some informative messages if requested.
use *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* as current working directory, because it
is set to the initial directory and because it can be updated with SI::CHDIR.
+ Pathname versions are now properly handled and printed. At least for logical
pathnames, because physical namestrings cannot have version numbers.
+ An error is signaled when one tries to print _readably_ a pathname that does
not have a namestring such that parsing this namestring produces the same
pathname. This happens, for instance, with pathnames that do not have hosts,
or that have version numbers and are not logical.
+ Fixes in the CLOS subsystem: ADD-METHOD and REMOVE-METHOD now update the
GENERIC-FUNCTION slot of method objects, and output the right values.
It is now possible to use two nested SYMBOL-MACROLET that define the same
symbols.
