Release notes for MCL 4.3.1 post-release patches

The following patches can be found at <ftp://ftp.digitool.com/mcl/patches/patches-4.3.1/>.

appearance-patch.lisp/pfsl

If the system font is non roman MCL 4.3.1 will get an error on startup (unfortunately, before the init file is loaded).

Workaround: set the system font to a roman font before starting MCL, then load this patch, then do save-application. The saved application should startup when the system font is non roman.

This patch should be used if you have multiple scripts even if the system font is a roman font, or if you use any Appearance "traps".

cstack-segmented-patch.lisp/pfsl

There is a bug in OS9.1 VM that causes deeply recursive functions such as factorial to fail. This patch works around the 9.1 bug. The workaround is only used when needed. You MUST put/load this in your init file because it has to be "fixed" before the Listener is created.

nx-inline-patch.lisp/pfsl

Compiler fix for function both declared inline and locally bound.

rename-file-patch.lisp/pfsl

Fixes an error that occurs when new-path is name too long, etc.
