--------------------

* New command line option -disable-readline lets working around bugs and
  incompatibilities between readline CLISP was built against and the
  library actually installed.

* FFI:OPEN-FOREIGN-LIBRARY now accepts the :REQUIRE argument.
  See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-open-lib> for details.

* New user variable CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* is respected by REQUIRE
  and used by "clisp-link install".

* The replacement value entered by the user in STORE-VALUE and USE-VALUE
  restarts is now EVALuated.

* The old user variable CUSTOM:*PRINT-CLOSURE* now controls interpreted

* Module libsvm does not come with the upstream sources anymore, install
  locally and pass --with-libsvm-prefix to the top-level configure instead.
  All upstream versions up to 2.91 are supported.
  See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/libsvm.html> for details.

* Module pari has been updated to support both 64 & 32 bit platforms
  with and without GMP.
  See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/pari.html> for details.

* New functions OS:VERSION-COMPARE et al call strverscmp.
  See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#strverscmp> for details.

* Bug fixes:
  + Do not eliminate function calls which are advertised to have
    exceptional situation in unsafe code (bug#2868166).
  + Fix an internal error in DECLAIM on bad OPTIMIZE quality (bug#2868147).
  + CLEAR-INPUT now clears the EOF condition on file streams (bug#2902716).

  + Implement the ANSI issue COMPILER-DIAGNOSTICS:USE-HANDLER: use the
    CL Condition System for compiler diagnostics.
  + STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE on empty CONCATENATED-STREAMs now returns NIL
    because nothing can be read from such streams (bug#3014921).

  image which delegates processing of all the usual CLISP command line
  options to the :INIT-FUNCTION.

* Driver clisp accepts "-b" to print the installation directory.
  See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp.html#opt-printlibdir> for details.

  whether it is properly installed and has the required version.

  See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#copy-file> for details.

* Bug fixes:

    implemented by Philippe Brochard <hocwp>.
  + Extend the domain of LOG to larger BIGNUMs and RATIOs (bug#1007358).
