sbcl-1.2.16 released

Dear all,

I have uploaded source and x86-64/linux binaries of sbcl-1.2.16 to
Sourceforge.  The tastefully curated list of user-visible changes is
appended to this mail; there was also a last-minute report of a problem
affecting sb-int:info and information about deprecated functions, but
this should have no impact on any user code that does not explicitly use
sb-int:info.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.2.16 relative to sbcl-1.2.15:
  * enhancement: by default, timers with a repeat interval do not "catch up"
    by repeatedly calling their function after a clock discontinuity such as a
    suspend and resume cycle
  * bug fix: correctly restore multiple values on the stack in the presence of
    alien calls. (lp#1489590)
  * bug fix: MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM enforces that :ELEMENT-TYPE
    is a subtype of CHARACTER.
  * bug fix: an EQL method specializer no longer causes garbage retention
    if there are no extant methods using the specializer. (lp#492851)
