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.

+ 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 ]
