| 28 | <dt>Improved THE type checking</dt> |
|---|
| 29 | <dd>The compiler outputs type checks for simple enough types at |
|---|
| 30 | *safety* levels 1 and 2 now.<br /> |
|---|
| 31 | The interpreter checks simple enough types at all *safety* levels</dd> |
|---|
| 32 | <dt>ANSI test fixes</dt> |
|---|
| 33 | <dd>Fixed tests due to better initarg checking:<br /> |
|---|

|---|
| 36 | <dt>Added JVM threading primitives</dt> |
|---|
| 37 | <dd>SYNCHRONIZED-ON, OBJECT-NOTIFY, OBJECT-NOTIFY-ALL equivalents of |
|---|

|---|
| 40 | <dd>The symbols are retained in the old EXTENSIONS package until 0.22</dd> |

|---|
| 43 | the type of the argument passed in using a THE form</dd> |
|---|
| 44 | <dt>Fixed breakage when combining the pretty printer and Gray streams</dt> |
|---|
| 45 | <dd>The fixes mean changes to the generic functions in Gray streams |
|---|
