ECL 9.6.2:
==========

* Visible changes:

 - Reimplemented winsock streams using the new file structures (D.
Statyvka)

 - TRUENAME now properly reinterprets file pathnames as directory
pathnames
   if the file system shows that the user supplied a wrong value. For
instance
   (TRUENAME "/tmp") => #P"/tmp/"

* Bugs:

 - Fixed a bug in the compiler that prevented building with MSVC

 - Fixed a bug in src/clx/dependent.lisp that prevented compiling CLX.

 - si:unbound is now a self-referential constant (symbol-value
'si:unbound)
   = si:unbound

 - si:bds-value returns si:unbound when finding a binding for a
   previously unbound variable.

 - The command :bds no longer chokes when finding unbound special
variables.

 - Fixed a problem with SI:MKSTEMP under windows (DS).

* Numerics:

 - EXT:OUTPUT-FLOAT-NAN and EXT:OUTPUT-FLOAT-INFINITY can be redefined
to
   customized how NaNs and infinities are output.

 - RATIONAL and FLOAT work more accurately with long-floats.

 - IMAGPART returns (* 0 x) when the argument X is a real. This
follows the
   ANSI specification, but has the (wrong?) side effect that the
imaginary
   part of -0.0 is -0.0, not 0.

 - Three new C constants {single,double,long}float_minus_zero in
cl_core
   save memory when creating zeros.

 - The constants in cl_core are now used in compiled code.

 - (MINUSP -0.0) => NIL

* Characters:

 - ECL now uses ISO Latin names for the lowest part of the character
set.

A small bug was reported this morning, which affects printing and
reading infinities. I have uploaded a new version of the tarball.
Please use only the one ending in .tar.gz, which is the latest version
and report any further bug you may find.
