Dear all,

SBCL 1.1.14 is now released and available for download from SourceForge.
The release notes are below; perhaps worthy of particular note is that
the propagation of type information past type tests, that I referred to
in previous release messages over the last few months, has now been
fixed.

With best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.1.14 relative to sbcl-1.1.13:
  * optimization: complicated TYPEP tests are less opaque to the type
    propagation pass. (lp#1229340)
  * optimization: [N]BUTLAST perform a single pass over the list. (lp#1245697)
  * optimization: EQUALP on structures with raw slots (double-float/complex)
    no longer conses and is faster.
  * optimization: RESTART-CASE expands to more compact code.
    Thanks to Jan Moringen. (lp#1249055)
  * enhancement: Top-level defmethod without defgeneric no longer causes
    undefined-function warnings in subsequent forms. (lp#503095)
  * enhancement: Better error messages for system errors on Windows.
  * enhancement: run-sbcl.sh is usefully handled by rlwrap.  Thanks to William
    Cushing. (lp#1249183)
  * enhancement: new function SB-EXT:ASSERT-VERSION->= accepts a version
    specification (multiple integer arguments) and signals a continuable error
    if the current SBCL version is lower (older) than the specification.
    (lp#674372)
  * enhancement: better ARRAY-RANK result derivation. (lp#1252108)
  * bug fix: EQUALP now compares correctly structures with raw slots larger
    than a single word.
  * bug fix: contribs couldn't be built on Windows with MinGW.
  * bug fix: Better pathname handling on Windows. (lp#922117)
  * bug fix: OPEN reports a more meaningful error when an existing file is
    opened for output with :if-exists :new-version.  Thanks to Philip
    Munksgaard. (lp#455381)
  * bug fix: DEFSTRUCTs with NIL as a slot name no longer cause strange
    CLOS-related errors.  (lp#633911)
  * bug fix: GC deadlocks caused by concurrent consing on Windows.
