+changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8:
+ * new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating
+ system has been added. (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+ * fixed several bugs in and robustified the PPC FFI (including
+ callbacks). (thanks to Cyrus Harmon and Heiner Schwarte)
+ * bug fix: allow non-simple string symbol names (reported by Paul
+ Dietz)
+ * bug fix: interrupt handling on NetBSD (thanks to Richard M
+ Kreuter)
+ * bug fix: saving a core corrupted callbacks on x86/x86-64
+ * optimization: major improvements to GC efficiency on GENCGC platforms
+ * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL
+ * optimization: emit more efficient opcodes for some common
+ immediate->register MOV instructions on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * fixed segfaults on x86 FreeBSD 7-current. (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)

changes in sbcl-0.9.8 relative to sbcl-0.9.7:
* minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are generic functions once more (reverting
the change in the 0.9.7 release). (SETF CLASS-NAME) is specified
by ANSI as a generic function, and for consistency (SETF
GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) is treated likewise.
+ * fixed bug #233.b: make constraint propagation notice when a variable
+ value is changed after it is referenced but before it is used
* fixed bug #296: no more arbitrary behaviour from filenames with
odd characters as --load arguments. (reported by Adam Warner)
* fixed bug #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
* bug fix: the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contrib passes external-format
arguments to the internal stream functions. (thanks to David
Lichteblau)
+ * bug fix: stack exhaustion is now handled on the x86/SunOS
+ platform. (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
+ * bug fix: more accurate ROOM results on GENCGC platforms
* optimization: improved type inference for arithmetic-for
index variables in LOOP
* optimization: faster floating-point SQRT on x86-64
- * bug fix: more accurate ROOM results on GENCGC platforms
- * fixed bug #233.b: make constraint propagation notice when a variable
- value is changed after it is referenced but before it is used
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** DOCUMENTATION returns NIL instead of "" for method combinations
that don't have a docstring
