Dear all,

SBCL 1.4.10 has been released and uploaded to Sourceforge.  Significant
changes in this version are appended to this message; a tantalizing
change that is not listed there is the first execution of (a very small
amount of) SBCL code on the 64-bit powerpc architecture.  I hope that
this whets your appetite.

Best wishes,

Christophe

changes in sbcl-1.4.10 relative to sbcl-1.4.9:
  * enhancement: added SB-EXT:MAKE-WEAK-VECTOR.
  * enhancement: constant-modification detection warnings can be generated
    in the presence of conditional constructs.
  * optimization: better bounds-checking on x86[-64] and ARM64.
  * optimization: adding 1 to or subtracting 1 from a fixnum variable does not
    cons.
  * bug fixes: fix a number of bugs revealed by random testing (lp#1782826,
    lp#1779878, lp#1779737)
