+========================== C M U C L  20 b =============================
+
+The CMUCL project is pleased to announce the release of CMUCL 20b.
+This is a major release which contains numerous enhancements and
+bug fixes from the 20a release.
+
+CMUCL is a free, high performance implementation of the Common Lisp
+programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. It
+mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CMUCL provides a
+sophisticated native code compiler; a powerful foreign function
+interface; an implementation of CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System,
+which includes multi-methods and a meta-object protocol; a source-level
+debugger and code profiler; and an Emacs-like editor implemented in
+Common Lisp. CMUCL is maintained by a team of volunteers collaborating
+over the Internet, and is mostly in the public domain.
+
+New in this release:
+
+  * Known issues:
+    - Executable images on Linux may not be able to be created on some
+      versions of Linux.  The problem is in GNU ld which doesn't
+      allocate enough phdrs to create an executable. 
+
+  * Feature enhancements:
+    - Read operations using an external format of utf8 are now much
+      faster.  Some simple tests on Linux shows that read-line now
+      only takes 40% as much time.  Sparc shows 60% as much time.
+    - ASCII external format added.
+    - Support for static arrays added.  These are allocated in foreign
+      space and are never moved by GC.  When the arrays are no longer
+      referenced, they are properly freed.  To create an array, use
+      new the :ALLOCATION :MALLOC parameter to MAKE-ARRAY.  Currently,
+      only arrays of character; 8, 16, and 32-bit integers (signed and
+      unsigned); single and double floats; and complex single and
+      double floats are supported.
+    - FROUND and FTRUNCATE are much faster for single and double float
+      numbers.  This is not currently available for x87 (due to
+      potential roundoff errors), but is available everywhere else.
+    - Support for internationalization/localization added.  Messages
+      from CMUCL can be translated, but currently only a few messages
+      in Korean are translated.  For fun, there is a full Pig Latin
+      translation (done by machine).
+    - Source information (file) for defstructs and deftypes is now
+      provided.  DESCRIBE will now print out the name of the file
+      where the defstruct/deftype was defined.
+    - ASDF2 and MK-DEFSYS have been added as contrib modules.  Use
+      (require 'asdf) or (require 'defsystem) to load these,
+      respectively. 
+    - The previous cmu-contrib module no longer exists.  Just use
+      (require 'module-name) to load the desired contrib module.
+    - A new switch, -help, has been added.  These print out brief
+      summary of the available command line switches and then exits.
+      You may also use --help, which is an alias for -help.
+    - Error handling has been added to external formats.  Previously,
+      all external formats would silently replace bad encodings with a
+      suitable replacement character.  Now, the user can specify how
+      the errors are handled by using the :DECODING-ERROR and
+      :ENCODING-ERROR parameters to OPEN.  The default is the previous
+      behavior.  
+
+      For decoding-error, a character, symbol, or function
+      can be given.  If a character, then that character is used as
+      the replacement character.  For a symbol or function, it must be
+      a function of 3 arguments:  a message string, the offending
+      octet (or nil), and the number of octets read in the encoding.
+      If the function returns, it must be the codepoint of the desired
+      replacement.
+
+      For encoding-error, a character, symbol, or function can be
+      given.  If a character, then that character is used as the
+      replacement character.  For a symbol or function, it must be a
+      function of 2 arguments: a message string and the offending
+      codepoint.  If the function returns, it must be the codepoint of
+      the desired replacement.
+    - Add EXT:LIST-ALL-EXTERNAL-FORMATS to list all known external
+      formats and their aliases.
+    - ADD EXT:DESCRIBE-EXTERNAL-FORMAT to print a description of the
+      specified external format.  To support this, the macros
+      DEFINE-EXTERNAL-FORMAT and DEFINE-COMPOSING-EXTERNAL-FORMAT have
+      changed.
+    - The sparc port now supports the :executable feature.
+    - The Mac OS X port now support the :executable feature.
+
+  * ANSI compliance fixes:
+    - COMPILE will update the macro-function if the specified name
+      names a macro.  (Previously, the fdefinition of the name was
+      set.)
+    - WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX uses the standard pprint dispatch table
+      now instead of the current table.
+    - PRINC-TO-STRING binds *PRINT-READABLY* to NIL as required.
+      Previously, it used the current value of *PRINT-READABLY*.
+    - DEFCLASS signals an error if the class name already names a
+      DECLARATION. 
+    - The :METHOD-CLASS argument to ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION can be a
+      class object as well as a name.
+    - Recognize but ignore the :DECLARE argument to
+      ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION. 
+    - Default documentation for short form of
+      DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION is NIL, not "".
+    - DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO no longer sets the wrong block name for
+      SETF functions.  We also check that the name is a valid function
+      name; an error is signalled if it's invalid.
+    - DELETE-FILE, ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST, FILE-AUTHOR,
+      FILE-WRITE-DATE, and OPEN now merge the given pathname with
+      *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* as required by CLHS sec 19.2.3.
+
+  * Bugfixes:
+    - On Unicode builds, printing of '|\|| and '|`| was incorrect
+      because no escapes were printed.  This is fixed now.
+    - Fixed issue with SSE2 support.  The vops for complex +/- float
+      would add random junk to the imaginary part of the result.
+    - UNIX-SYSINFO was broken for Unicode builds, which affected
+      MACHINE-TYPE and MACHINE-VERSION.
+    - Type predicates for double-double float and complex
+      double-double float arrays are now done inline.
+    - UNIX:UNIX-EXECVE was not converting Lisp strings to C strings on
+      Unicode builds.
+    - When continuing from the INTEXP-LIMIT-ERROR condition (for
+      raising an integer to a large integer power) and setting a new
+      limit, the limit was set to the power.  We really wanted the
+      absolute value of the power to used as the new limit.
+    - FILE-POSITION was returning incorrect values for file streams on
+      Unicode builds.  This is fixed now.
+    - The error-output and trace-file files for COMPILE-FILE are now
+      opened using the same external format as specified in
+      COMPILE-FILE.  Previously, they were opened using the default
+      external format.  This meant that these files could lose
+      information if the default format could not represent the
+      characters in the source file.
+    - Handling of source files in the debugger is better now for
+      Unicode builds.  The source files are opened using the same
+      format as used to compile them.  Previously, the default format
+      was used, which would be wrong if the file is in a different
+      format.
+    - CMUCL no longer segfaults on Linux when running on a kernel
+      without COMPAT_BRK.  CMUCL will set the personality
+      appropriately and re-exec itself.
+    - GET-MACRO-CHARACTER would return the wrong second value because
+      *READTABLE* was always being used instead of the specified
+      readtable. 
+    - COMPILE-FILE was generating an error when compiling COMPILE
+      forms.  This is fixed.
+    - A critical bug in SSE2 support has been fixed.  Multiplying a
+      complex single-float by a single-float produced the wrong
+      result. 
+    - Fix issue where CMUCL does not correctly handle FLETs in
+      DEFMETHOD bodies which use the same name as that of the generic
+      function.   The generic function was called instead of the local
+      function.
+    - CMUCL would fail to compile external formats if *readtable* was
+      not the standard readtable.  This is fixed by using the standard
+      I/O syntax when compiling the external format.
+    - The debugger help message is updated to reflect the actual
+      options for L and PP commands.  Help for the DESCRIBE command
+      has been added.
+    - CMUCL now signals a cerror when attempting to redefine a slot
+      accessor via DEFUN or COMPILE.  If continued, the accessor is
+      redefined, and CMUCL assumes the new definition is usable as a
+      slot accessor.  Previously, CMUCL would print a warning and
+      undefine the structure.
+    - An issue with SSE2 and GC hooks has been fixed.  This shows up
+      when doing arithmetic with GC hooks that use the SSE registers.
+      The SSE state is saved along with the x87 state.
+    - GCD of positive integers no longer returns a negative result for
+      certain arguments.
+    - CMUCL no longer crashes on Mac OS X if the dynamic space size is
+      too large.  This was caused by an erroneous value for the
+      maximum dynamic space size. 
+    - When printing out argument values in the debugger and also
+      during TRACE, the incorrect values were returned for the SSE2
+      core.  This was caused by using the x87 values instead of the
+      sse2 values in the sigcontext.  This is fixed now.
+    - A critical bug in the fast Unicode stream buffering routine has
+      been fixed.  This bug manifests itself by causing valid
+      sequences to be incorrectly decoded, resulting in a replacement
+      character.
+    - UTF-8 correctly catches overlong sequences now.  Previously,
+      overlong sequences were missed.
+    - When UTF-8 decoder encounters an overlong sequence, a surrogate
+      code point, or a too-large codepoint, the entire sequence is
+      converted to the replacement character.  Previously, all of the
+      octets except the first were put back, and the data read again.
+    - Some GC improvements for sparc and ppc.  (Changes for ppc
+      untested).  GC could incorrectly move the PC and other
+      registers, causing a segfault.
+    - A bug inadvertently introduced in the 2010-04 non-unicode
+      snapshot has been fixed.  The bug prevented the non-unicode
+      versions of CMUCL from loading the external format aliases
+      file. 
+    - With SSE2, the imaginary part of a (complex single-float) is now
+      returned correctly.
+    - The method used to create executable images for Linux has been
+      cleaned up and should be far more robust against different
+      versions of the OS.  The same is true on sparc as well as Mac OS
+      X.
+    - It is possible to hash NaNs now.  (Previously gave an invalid
+      operation exception.)
+    - For SSE2 builds, = no longer signals an error if one operand is
+      NaN.  This matches what happens for x87.
+    - For SSE2 builds, SIGCONTEXT-FLOAT-REGISTER returned the wrong
+      value for single-floats.  Easily noticed when tracing a
+      function with single-float arguments.
+    - The table for Unicode 1.0 names was constructed incorrectly.
+      Thus, UNICODE-1.0-NAME would return the wrong names for many
+      (all?) codepoints.
+
+  * Trac Tickets:
+    #33: get-dispatch-macro-character doesn't signal errors in
+      compiled code
+      Fixed.
+    #22: sun4_solaris_sunc config uses gcc to build motif
+      This is fixed.  If Sun C is used to build lisp, it is also used
+      to build motifd.
+    #39: non-standard lexical syntax
+      The reader macros are no longer installed by default.
+    #36: file-position broken for utf16 and utf32.
+      FILE-POSITION returns the correct value for UTF16 and UTF32 when
+      there is a BOM in the file.
+
+  * Other changes:
+    - :freebsd4 is no longer a *feature*
+    - Added UNIX-GETENV, UNIX-SETENV, UNIX-PUTENV, and UNIX-UNSETENV,
+      in the UNIX package to allow access to these C functions.
+    - OCTETS-TO-STRING has changed.
+      o The output string is no longer automatically extended.
+      o Parameters can be given to specify the start and end of the
+        octet array and for the start and end of the string.
+        (These all default to the beginning and end of the arrays.)
+    - UNIX-GETRLIMIT added for solaris and darwin/x86.
+    - TRANSLATE-PATHNAMES now creates the resulting path to be an
+      absolute or relative path according to whether the TO pathname
+      is absolute or relative.  Previously, the result was taken from
+      the SOURCE pathname, except if TO were absolute, in which case
+      the result was absolute.
+    - Add MAC as an alias to the CR composing external format.
+
+  * Improvements to the PCL implementation of CLOS:
+
+  * Changes to building procedure:
+
+This release is not binary compatible with code compiled using CMUCL
+20a; you will need to recompile FASL files.

+
+We hope you enjoy using this release of CMUCL!
