Dear all,

I have released sbcl-1.4.7, and uploaded source and binaries to
Sourceforge; an updated copy of the manual will follow shortly.  As well
as the release notes appended below, there are reports of occasional
build failures (depending on the exact address chosen for mapping the
Lisp dynamic space) on OpenBSD/x86, and mildly consistent build failures
on platforms required to use the Cheney garbage collector (alpha, mips,
sparc).

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.4.7 relative to sbcl-1.4.6:
  * enhancement: better handling of unknown keyword arguments (lp#1750466)
  * enhancement: namestrings can now be computed for certain pathnames that
    previously did not have namestrings because of #\. characters in their
    name and/or type components.
  * bug fix: compiling a SLEEP call with a float positive infinity argument no
    longer causes an internal error (lp#1754081)
  * bug fix: keyword arguments provided to a generic function with
    EQL-specialized methods are checked more correctly (reported by Syll,
    lp#1760987)
