Dear all,

I've just released sbcl-1.3.2; source and some binaries are available at
SourceForge, and more binaries will probably trickle in in the next few
days.  Noteworthy changes since the last release are appended to this
message.

It's perhaps worth highlighting that this release, and sbcl-1.3.1,
suffer from a pair of latent bugs being less latent than previously.
The symptoms of those bugs, which typically arise during compilation,
are of either an infinite loop
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/1540123> or a heap explosion
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/1540125>; these are unfortunately
exposed by a more uniform treatment of type checks.  In particular,
FriCAS is known to tickle these bugs, but there may be other systems
affected.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.3.2 relative to sbcl-1.3.1:
  * enhancement: {READ,WRITE}-SEQUENCE are much faster for some combinations
    of short sequences and stream types
  * enhancement: MAKE-LIST's result can be stack-allocated on x86-64
  * bug fix: WRITE-SEQUENCE no longer fails to write lists containing integers
    to bivalent streams
  * bug fix: LOGTEST (and hence ODDP) no longer conses when given fixnum
    arguments and small bit positions.  (lp#1277690)
  * bug fix: READ-FROM-STRING compiler-macro does not permute its arguments
  * bug fix: DEFUN of a function name that collides with a system-generated
    structure accessor does not confuse the runtime. (lp#540063)
  * bug fix: heap corruption from miscompiled RESTART-BIND. (lp#1530390)
