[Sbcl-announce] sbcl-2.2.8 released

[Christophe Rhodes]

Dear all,

I have just released SBCL 2.2.8; some artifacts are available from
SourceForge, and others will follow shortly. The major changes in this
release are listed below.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-2.2.8 relative to sbcl-2.2.7:
* minor incompatible change: support for 32-bit x86/Darwin has been removed.
* bug fix: fix miscompilation related to empty infinite loops preceded by
conditional expressions. (lp#1986810, reported by Artyom Bologov)
* bug fix: fix gc invariant violations. (lp#1983218, reported by Marius
Gerbershagen; lp#1983248, reported by Vasily Postnicov)
* bug fix: use CC to compile SBCL as a shared library. (lp#1976148,
reported by Pierre Neidhardt)
* bug fix: don't crash the system completely if RUN-PROGRAM fails to create
a pipe. (lp#1979841, reported by Thor Kristofferson)
* bug fix: be more disciplined about use of C system includes. (lp#1981799,
reported by Mark Evenson)
* bug fix: STRING/= returning wrong results for some cases when :END1/:END2
were not compile-time constants. (lp#1983284)
* bug fix: compile-time checking of :START and :END keyword arguments to
FILL is more complete.
* optimization: adjacent type tests on the same value are more compact
(arm64, x86-64).
* optimization: the compiler can inline COPY-STRUCTURE in more cases.
* optimization: type checks for non-simple arrays are shorter.
* optimization: printing strings (as Lisp data) is faster.
