First, in case you missed it, there was no 2014-07 snapshot. Nothing
really changed in that month so no snapshot was made.
Second, the 2014-08 snapshot has been tagged and binaries will be
uploaded soon.
Notable changes:
* Updated to ASDF 3.1.3.
* More consistent results for the special functions because all
platforms now use fdlibm.
* Consing for the trig functions is greatly reduced since we use
fdlibm instead of a Lisp implementation.
* Source location information has been added for
DEFINE-CONDITION. (From Helmut Eller.)
* The lisp binary is now compiled to use SSE2 on x86 machines.
CMUCL won't even start now if you do not have SSE2.
* CLEAR-OUTPUT will now actually clear any pending output that has
not been flushed. Previously, CLEAR-OUTPUT did nothing.
* For Gray streams, CLEAR-OUTPUT will clear output instead of calling
STREAM-FORCE-OUTPUT.
* A critical bug in KERNEL:DOUBLE-FLOAT-BITS on x86 has been
fixed. In some situations, KERNEL:DOUBLE-FLOAT-BITS would cause a
segfault.
