;;;; -*- coding: utf-8; fill-column: 78 -*-
changes relative to sbcl-2.6.6:
* new contrib module: SB-MANUAL contains the SBCL manual in docstrings of
section definitions, which tie together the docstrings of normal Lisp
definitions. The manual can thus be explored interactively in the usual
way (e.g. with Slime's M-.), and it is browsable with the MGL-PAX library
(out of tree). Also, https://fixnum.com/ (similarly unrelated to the SBCL
project) provides alternative renderings of the SBCL manual as heavily
linked PDF and HTML documents as well as Markdown and plain text.
* new feature: DOCUMENTATION supports DOC-TYPE DECLARATION.
* bug fix: READing with *READ-SUPPRESS* T no longer emits warnings like
"<internal-feature> no longer present on *FEATURES*".
* documentation: many typos and typesetting issues were fixed.
* documentation: SB-MANUAL:@FOREIGN-FUNCTION-INTERFACE now correctly states
that arrays are row-major (not column-major). (lp#2158033, thanks to Scott
L. Burson)
* documentation: internally, docstrings now conform to a subset of Markdown,
but DOCUMENTATION (and thus DESCRIBE) strips some of this markup. The
official manual is still generated from Texinfo, but the Texinfo files are
generated from SB-MANUAL.
* documentation: the manual now has a separate index for declarations.
changes in sbcl-2.6.6 relative to sbcl-2.6.5:
* minor incompatible change: FDEFINITION now returns the outermost wrapper
(added e.g. by TRACE, PROFILE) like SYMBOL-FUNCTION. (lp#799533)
