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.
+ The bytecodes compiler now alloes a lambda list with &key and no keywords
+ WITH-HASHTABLE-ITERATOR implemented
+ QUIT is now silent
+ In MAKE-PATHNAME, values supplied with a value of NIL would be overwritten
by the content of :DEFAULTS.
These hash tables can be dumped to help files which are understood by ECLS.
Most documentation strings have been moved back to the lisp source files
from which "SYS:help.doc" is built.
meaningful names for the exported functions. For instance,
(proclaim '(si::c-export-fname union))
is used to produce a C function with name clLunion, which can be directly used
in other compiled files. This feature has been applied to almost all functions
in the Lisp runtime.
