| 26 | <dt>Fixed an issue causing FASLs to be able to contain only a limited |
|---|
| 27 | number of functions. |
|---|
| 28 | </dt> |
|---|
| 29 | <dd>As part of an attempt to increase ABCL's boot performance, |
|---|
| 30 | the ability for a FASL to contain an arbitrary number of functions was |
|---|
| 31 | broken. The old behaviour is now restored. There was no notable difference |
|---|
| 32 | in startup times. |
|---|
| 33 | </dd> |
|---|
| 34 | <dt>Improved support for embedding: ABCL no longer |
|---|
| 35 | contains calls to System.exit(). |
|---|
| 36 | </dt> |
|---|
| 37 | <dd>Instead of calling System.exit(), ABCL now throws one of two Errors. |
|---|
| 38 | When the EXT:EXIT or EXT:QUIT functions are called, it throws |
|---|
| 39 | org.armedbear.lisp.ProcessingTerminated. If an unrecoverable integrity |
|---|
| 40 | error is encountered, it throws an org.armedbear.lisp.IntegrityError |
|---|
| 41 | </dd> |
|---|
| 42 | <dt>Updated ASDF2</dt> |
|---|
| 43 | <dd>ASDF2 has been updated to its latest version 2.012</dd> |
|---|
| 44 | <dt>Extended class file writer: now with support for writing interfaces |
|---|
| 45 | </dt> |
|---|
| 46 | <dd>The new class file writer from the last release was specifically |
|---|
| 47 | targetted at generating class-defining class files. It has now been |
|---|
| 48 | extended to allow generating interface files. |
