sbcl-1.2.11 released

Hi,

I released sbcl-1.2.11 yesterday, but circumstances prevented me from
sending an announcement to this list until now.  Apart from the release
notes listed below, I'd like to mention that some months ago Josh
Elasser provided experimental threading support for OpenBSD on x86-64
(and even more experimental on x86 and ppc).

Additionally, with the release of Debian Jessie, I would like to upgrade
my build environment to the new "oldstable" (wheezy).  This will mean
that the sbcl binaries that I build will be linked against a newer
version of glibc than they have been until now: 2.13 (rather than
2.11).  If this will cause problems for anyone, I can delay: please just
let me know.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.2.11 relative to sbcl-1.2.10:
  * enhancement: SET-PPRINT-DISPATCH will warn when given an expression in
    which any part is unrecognizable as a legal type-specifier.
    The dispatch table will be altered, but the new entry is disabled.
    Subsequent type-defining forms will cause pprint-dispatch tables to
    re-examine whether any disabled entries should be enabled. (lp#1429520)
  * enhancement: Loading code containing calls to a deprecated function will,
    under most circumstances, signal warnings similar to compiling such code.
    The usual caveat holds about not detecting calls through a computed name,
    as in (funcall (intern "DEPRECATED-FUN" "SB-EXT")).
  * enhancement: (SB-EXT:COMPILE-FILE-LINE) is a new macro that expands
    to a constant (VALUES integer integer) indicating the source line/column
    from which it was read, intended for logging Lisp runtime errors in
    a style similar to that afforded by the C preprocessor __LINE__ macro.
    Similarly (SB-EXT:COMPILE-FILE-POSITION) returns a position in characters.
  * enhancement: improved source locations for VOPs, alien types and
    declarations.
  * bug fix: functions in :FINAL deprecation have the correct docstring.
    No visible change, as no such functions presently exist. (lp#1439151)
  * bug fix: (SETF (FDEFINITION this) (FDEFINITION OTHER)) signals an error
    if OTHER names either a macro or special-operator. (lp#1439921)
