v0.1.1

Fixed

• Fixed a macOS arm64 crash during LOAD when garbage collection ran while a closure was live in a Lisp parent frame. The program no longer terminates with SIGSEGV.
• Fixed garbage collection of specialized array elements by tracing their values.

Added

• Added specialized and general array literal support, lowered through constants.

Changed

• Split Nix checks into a separate CI job so documentation checks stay within their timeout.

v0.1.0

Added

• Added EVAL and pathname-aware LOAD. COMPILE-FILE stores source text in its FASL output, and LOAD recompiles that text.
• Added compiler optimization modes and pass diagnostics, with GC-safe optimization passes.
• Added DECLAIM and SPECIAL, DEFSETF, more LOOP clauses, and condition and restart facilities including MAKE-CONDITION, HANDLER-CASE, and IGNORE-ERRORS.
• Added readtable copying and feature conditionals, pathname literals and logical pathnames, filesystem operations, and character and string stream operations.
• Added array element types, hash-table options, array-aware COPY-SEQ, sequence selection and duplicate removal, and further sequence operations.
• Added image save and load, initial CLOS and MOP support, typed foreign calls and tracked system-area-pointer operations, and internal-time queries.
• Added character package designators for package introspection, symbol interning, and package operations, plus MOD element types for MAKE-ARRAY.
• Added reader evaluation of #. forms, standard short-form CLOS method combinations, SUBST and the tree substitution sequence family, and CLOS class designators for array element types.
• Added DEFTYPE expansion, typed LOOP variables, implicit generic function creation in DEFMETHOD, package-symbol iteration, SB package registration, WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX, and COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH.
• Added scalar type and effect analysis and optimization passes for checked fixnum operations, direct calls, and global values.
• Added heap-rooted word sequences, the NCL-GC full-collection builtin, per-thread GC state, and a typed evaluator-access service.
• Added tables of the SBCL APIs and symbols available on Linux, selection of matching NCL/SBCL benchmark cases, and sharded ANSI conformance runs.
• Added standardized SETF places.

Fixed

• Corrected sequence ordering, selection options, list and higher-order function contracts, SEARCH and MISMATCH bounds, and EQUAL/EQUALP behavior for vectors and fill pointers.
• Preserved dynamic state across nonlocal exits and multiple values through cleanup and capture.
• Aligned package rename, deletion, and introspection with Common Lisp semantics, and corrected string comparison bounds.
• Corrected reader handling of NIL, exponent-like symbols, extended numeric tokens, and empty tokens. LOAD now respects the active package and readtable and preserves reader, verifier, and native errors.
• Corrected handler and restart cleanup on nonlocal exits, closure cell capture, macro expansion roots, and evaluator restoration after nested operations.
• Corrected type-range checks for bignums, SUBTYPEP certainty, indexed simple-vector primitives, builtin argument marshalling, C character signedness, and system-area-pointer places.
• Corrected x86 and AArch64 instruction decoding and address-provenance tracking across safepoints and raw-memory escapes.

Changed

• Moved the generic dispatcher wrapper into a dedicated runtime module.
• Isolated cl-bench rows in a worker pool of up to four, with 20-second child timeouts and a 1,800-second workflow budget with a 240-second reserve. The driver records per-row wall time, allows independent output pairs to overlap, and retains completed rows when a child times out.
