(foo ...)). + now requires (macro-time ...) around the defmacro. + - optional parameters in macro-style parameter lists no longer support the + colon hack for explicitly specifying a missing parameter. + - only function calls have this feature now. + - Printer: + - improved line breaking of aggregate objects. + - new function force-break exposed, related to this. + + Bugs + + - buffers: buf-get-* functions were not allowing the last byte of a buffer + to be extracted. + - structs: post-inits and finalization registrations are now correctly + performed by reset-struct. + - trace: several bugfixes in method redefinition check. + - bignums: fixed broken single-digit bignum multiplication. + - functions: fixed regression in function argument processing causing the + failure to diagnose too many args. + - expander: fixed neglect to add sequentially-bound variables to the + expansion-time environment when they lack an init-form. + - expander: fixed some neglected expansions in the sys:for-op special + operator that implements the iteration forms like each and for. + - expander: bugs/regressions in handling nil in parameter list expansion. + - expander: optional parameters of functions were not being expanded in an + environment in which the previous params are visible. + - listener: fixed poor treatment of regex syntax in the code which prevent + lines from being submitted when they + are ill-formed. + - gc bugs: fixed some incorrect mutations that break generational gc. + - some in struct code + - some in datagram socket code. + - tagbody: fixed; was broken due to a regression. + - packages: read/print consistency issue related to packgage prefixes fixed. + - regex: read/print consistency problem related to double quote. + - regex: double-free corruption bug related to use of canned + character classes like \w. + - hash: fixed broken with-hash-iter. + + + TXR 190 2018-02-18 |
