Changes: 
 sbcl (1:1.0.27.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     Major changes:
     changes in sbcl-1.0.27 relative to 1.0.26:
       * improvement: the system either recovers from stack exhaustion or dies
         properly as opposed to leaving the user uncertain of whether the handler
         trampled on some random memory next to the stack or having to rely on
         --lose-on-corruption (which is still a good idea to use in production
         because stack exhaustion can happen in signal handlers which will likely
         lead to hangs.)
       * bug fix: fix gc related interrupt handling bug on ppc (regression from
         1.0.25.37, reported by Harald Hanche-Olsen)
       * bug fix: fix ERROR leaking memory (reported by David Thompson)
 .
     changes in sbcl-1.0.26 relative to 1.0.25:
       * incompatible change: an interruption (be it a function passed to
         INTERRUPT-THREAD or a timer function) runs in an environment where
         interrupts can be enabled. The interruption can use
         WITH-INTERRUPTS or WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS as it sees fit. Use
         WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS to avoid nesting of interruptions and
         potentially running out of stack. Keep in mind that in the absence
         of WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS some potentially blocking operation such as
         acquiring a lock can enable interrupts.
       * incompatible change: GC-OFF and GC-ON are removed, as they were
         always unsafe. Use WITHOUT-GCING instead.
       * new feature: runtime option --disable-ldb
       * new feature: runtime option --lose-on-corruption to die at the
         slightest hint of possibly non-recoverable errors: running out of
         memory, stack, alien stack, binding stack, encountering a memory
         fault, etc. In the absence of --lose-on-corruption a warning is
         printed to stderr.
       * enhancement: detect binding stack exhaustion
       * enhancement: detect alien stack exhaustion on x86/x86-64
       * improvement: generally more stable and reliable interrupt handling
       * improvement: there is a per thread interruption queue,
         interruptions are executed in order of arrival
       * improvement: a repeating timer reschedules itself when the it has
         finished, but expiration times are spaced equally. If an
         expiration time is in the past it will trigger after a short grace
         period that may give a chance to other things to run.
       * optimization: slightly faster gc on multithreaded builds
       * optimization: faster WITHOUT-GCING
       * bug fix: when JOIN-THREAD signals an error, do it when not holding
         important locks so that the debugger/handler doesn't produce
         recursive errors or deadlock.
       * bug fix: real-time signals are not used anymore, so no more
         hanging when the system wide real-time signal queue gets full.
       * bug fix: INTERRUPT-THREAD on a dying thread could produce memory
         fault.
       * bug fix: finalizers, gc hooks never run in a WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS
       * bug fix: fix random memory faults related to interrupts on alpha
       * bug fix: fix random memory faults related to interrupts on sparc
       * bug fix: fix deadlocks related to starting threads
       * bug fix: fix deadlines on locks on futex platforms
       * bug fix: restore errno in signal handlers
       * bug fix: fix deadlocks related to hash tables
       * bug fix: fix deadlocks in pcl
   * imported new upstream version
   * now using debhelper version 7
   * updated standard version without any real changes
   * use dh_prep instead of dh_clean -k
