2.44 (2008-02-02)
=================
User visible changes
--------------------

* CLISP does not come with GNU libffcall anymore.
   This is now a separate package and should be installed separately.
   Pass --with-libffcall-prefix to the top-level configure if it is not
   installed in a standard place.
   Option --with-dynamic-ffi is now replaced with --with-ffcall.

* CLOS now issues warnings of type CLOS:CLOS-WARNING.
   See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/mop-clisp.html#mop-clisp-warn>
   for details.

* The AFFI (simple ffi, originally for Amiga) code has been removed.

* Speed up list and sequence functions when :TEST is EQ, EQL, EQUAL
   or EQUALP.

* Rename EXT:DELETE-DIR, EXT:MAKE-DIR, and EXT:RENAME-DIR to
   EXT:DELETE-DIRECTORY, EXT:MAKE-DIRECTORY, and EXT:RENAME-DIRECTORY,
   respectively, for consistency with EXT:PROBE-DIRECTORY,
   EXT:DEFAULT-DIRECTORY and CL:PATHNAME-DIRECTORY.
   The old names are still available, but deprecated.

* The :VERBOSE argument to SAVEINITMEM defaults to a new user variable
   *SAVEINITMEM-VERBOSE*, initial value T.
   See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/image.html> for details.

* Bug fixes:
   + Fix FRESH-LINE at the end of a line containing only TABs. [1834193]
   + PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK no longer ignores
     *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH-TABLE*. [ 1835520 ]
   + BYTE is now a full-fledged type. [ 1854698 ]
   + Fix linux:dirent definition in the bindings/glibc module. [1779490]
   + Symbolic links into non-existent directories can now be deleted.
     [ 1860489 ]
   + DIRECTORY :FULL on directories now returns the same information as
     on files. [ 1860677 ]
   + CLISP no longer hangs at the end of a script coming via a pipe
     ("clisp < script.lisp" or "cat script | clisp"). [ 1865567 ]
   + When *CURRENT-LANGUAGE* is incompatible with *TERMINAL-ENCODING*,
     CLISP no longer goes into an infinite recursion trying to print
     various help messages. [ 1865636 ]
   + Fix the "Quit" debugger command. [ 1448744 ]
   + Repeated terminating signals kill CLISP instantly with the correct
     exit code. [ 1871205 ]
   + Stack inspection is now safer. [ 1506316 ]
   + Errors in the RC-file and init files are now handled properly.
     [1714737]
   + Avoid the growth of the restart set with each image save. [1877497]
   + Handle foreign functions coming from the old image which cannot be
     validated. [ 1407486 ]
   + Fix signal code in bindings/glibc/linux.lisp. [ 1781476 ]
