[Sbcl-announce] sbcl-2.2.10 released

[Christophe Rhodes]

Dear all,

I have just tagged sbcl-2.2.10 and uploaded some artifacts to
sourceforge; other builds will follow in due course.

As well as the user-visible changes in this release (summarized below),
there is the beginnings of support for user-controllable allocation
arenas, allowing more control over allocation and particularly over when
objects in those arenas can be considered garbage. This functionality
is still in development and may change, but if it is something that
might be of interest, please take a look at
doc/internals-notes/arena-allocation.txt in the source tree and follow
up on sbcl-devel.

Christophe

changes in sbcl-2.2.10 relative to sbcl-2.2.9:
* platform support:
** win32: improved handling of stack overflow exceptions. (lp#1302866)
** Mac OS X: enforce stronger alignment when building the runtime.
(lp#1991485, reported by Yan)
** arm64: support for building the system without the sb-unicode feature
(i.e. with 8-bit characters) is restored.
* bug fix: do not elide the GC store barrier in closures. (lp#1982608,
reported by Andrew Berkley)
* bug fix: make sb-introspect tests pass when the system is built without
support for source locations. (lp#1635349, reported by Tomas Hlavaty)
* bug fix: erroneous assumption that the format-control of a simple condition
was a string. (lp#1803727)
* bug fix: compiler consistency failure in modular arithmetic widening.
(lp#1990715)
* bug fix: provide a stub for a helper function (lp#1992316)
