Dear all,

I released sbcl-1.3.10 to sourceforge yesterday, but what with one thing
and another didn't get around to sending an announcement of the
release.  I can now rectify this: get your new SBCL, very similar to the
old SBCL; the user-visible changes are listed below.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.3.10 relative to sbcl-1.3.9:
  * enhancement: more compact low-level error signaling code
  * enhancement: more compact encoding of cross-reference information
  * optimization: faster out of line fixnum-float comparisons.
  * optimization: filling a known simple-vector with a constant value
    is about as fast in unoptimized code as in code compiled with (SPEED 3),
    and the x86-64 implementation is able to use SSE instructions.
  * bug fix: correctly handle the case of a non-local exit within a function
    terminating the extent of dynamic-extent functions and variables in the
    presence of multiple-values (lp#1563127)
  * bug fix: restore builds on the latest OSX with the latest Xcode
    (lp#1470996)
