changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
+ * new feature: timers based on Zach Beane's excellent timer package
+ * added support for the following external formats: koi8-u,
+ x-mac-cyrillic, cp437, cp850, cp852, cp855, cp857, cp860, cp861,
+ cp862, cp863, cp864, cp865, cp866, cp869, cp874, iso-8859-2,
+ iso-8859-3, iso-8859-4, iso-8859-5, iso-8859-6, iso-8859-7,
+ iso-8859-8, iso-8859-9, iso-8859-10, iso-8859-11, iso-8859-13,
+ iso-8859-14, cp1250, cp1251, cp1252, cp1253, cp1254,
+ cp1255,cp1256, cp1257, cp1258 (contributed by Ivan Boldyrev)
+ * incompatible change: a threaded SBCL will no longer revert to
+ non-threaded mode on non-NPTL systems, but refuse to start entirely.
* bug fix: interrupts are disabled until startup is complete; no
more sigsegvs when receiving a signal to soon
+ * optimization: Faster 32-bit SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE on non-x86/ppc
+ platforms
+ * bug fix: add a workaround for the memory randomization features in
+ Linux kernels >= 2.6.12 that interfere with SBCL's memory maps. This
+ workaround will only be in effect on systems with the proc filesystem
+ mounted.
+ * bug fix: printing objects of type HASH-TABLE signals a
+ PRINT-NOT-READABLE error when *READ-EVAL* is NIL. (reported by
+ Faré Rideau)
+ * bug fix: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME now works even for processes that
+ have been running for over 50 days. (reported by Gilbert Baumann)
+ * bug fix: the logic for getting names of functions gets less
+ confused when confronded with alternate-metaclass
+ funcallable-instances. (reported by Cyrus Harmon)
+ * bug fix: FUNCTIONP and (LAMBDA (X) (TYPEP X 'FUNCTION)) are now
+ consistent, even on internal alternate-metaclass objects.
* threads
** bug fix: parent thread now can be gc'ed even with a live
child thread

** bug fix: binding specials is thread safe (thanks to
Hannu Koivisto)
+ ** bug fix: interrupt handlers are now per-process, RUN-PROGRAM
+ and SB-SPROF do not die with 'no handler for signal XX in
+ interrupt_handle_now(..)' anymore
+ ** bug fix: WITH-TIMEOUT works with multiple running threads
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION should take a method class object for
the :method-class keyword argument.
