+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.14:
+ * improvement: support for "Mac Roman" external format.
+ * new feature: the iterative spilling/coloring register allocator developed
+ by Alexandra Barchunova during Google Summer of Code 2013 is now merged
+ in. By default, it only activates for functions that optimize with
+ (speed 3) and (> speed compilation-speed), but setting
+ sb-regalloc:*register-allocation-method* to :iterative forces its
+ execution. The previous behaviour can be obtained by instead setting that
+ variable to :greedy. Thanks again to Google for their support, and, more
+ crucially, to Alexandra Barchunova for her hard work.
+ * optimization: make-array with known element-type and unkown dimensions is
+ much faster.
+ * enhancement: sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die on Windows now accepts
+ :application-type argument, which can be :console or :gui. :gui allows
+ having GUI applications without an automatically appearing console window.
+ * enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms:
+ conservative roots that point to unboxed pages must be tagged
+ pointers to the start of a valid-looking object, not merely point
+ to within the allocated part of the page, in order to pin the page.
+ * bug fix: Windows applications without the console window no longer misbehave.
+ (patch by Wilfredo Velazquez, lp#1256034).
+ * bug fix: modular arithmetic optimizations do not stumble on dead branches
+ with bad constants. (reported by Douglas Katzman)
+ * bug fix: CLISP can be used again as a cross-compilation host.
+ (Thanks to Vasily Postnicov, lp#1261451)
+ * bug fix: run-program crashed with :directory nil. (lp#1265077)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.14 relative to sbcl-1.1.13:
+ * optimization: complicated TYPEP tests are less opaque to the type
+ propagation pass. (lp#1229340)
+ * optimization: [N]BUTLAST perform a single pass over the list. (lp#1245697)
+ * optimization: EQUALP on structures with raw slots (double-float/complex)
+ no longer conses and is faster.
+ * optimization: RESTART-CASE expands to more compact code.
+ Thanks to Jan Moringen. (lp#1249055)
+ * enhancement: Top-level defmethod without defgeneric no longer causes
+ undefined-function warnings in subsequent forms. (lp#503095)
+ * enhancement: Better error messages for system errors on Windows.
+ * enhancement: run-sbcl.sh is usefully handled by rlwrap. Thanks to William
+ Cushing. (lp#1249183)
+ * enhancement: new function SB-EXT:ASSERT-VERSION->= accepts a version
+ specification (multiple integer arguments) and signals a continuable error
+ if the current SBCL version is lower (older) than the specification.
+ (lp#674372)
+ * enhancement: better ARRAY-RANK result derivation. (lp#1252108)
+ * bug fix: EQUALP now compares correctly structures with raw slots larger
+ than a single word.
+ * bug fix: contribs couldn't be built on Windows with MinGW.
+ * bug fix: Better pathname handling on Windows. (lp#922117)
+ * bug fix: OPEN reports a more meaningful error when an existing file is
+ opened for output with :if-exists :new-version. Thanks to Philip
+ Munksgaard. (lp#455381)
+ * bug fix: DEFSTRUCTs with NIL as a slot name no longer cause strange
+ CLOS-related errors. (lp#633911)
+ * bug fix: GC deadlocks caused by concurrent consing on Windows.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.13 relative to sbcl-1.1.12:
+ * optimization: better distribution of SXHASH over small conses of related
+ values. (lp#309443)
+ * other improvements to SXHASH:
+ ** use the whole of the positive-fixnum range for SXHASH of fixnums
+ * enhancement: The error message when calling an undefined alien function
+ includes the name of the function on x86-64.
+ * enhancement: sb-ext:run-program now supports :environment on Windows.
+ * enhancement: ASDF is no longer required to load contribs at runtime.
+ (lp#1132254)
+ * enhancement: when called with a symbol, FIND-RESTART no longer calls
+ COMPUTE-RESTARTS, making it faster and cons less (lp#769615)
+ * enhancement: FIND-RESTART and COMPUTE-RESTARTS handle huge restart
+ clusters better in some cases
+ * enhancement: SOME/ANY/other quantification higher-order functions no
+ longer cons. (lp#1070635)
+ * bug fix: forward references to classes in fasls can now be loaded.
+ (lp#746132)
+ * bug fix: don't warn on a interpreted->compiled function redefinition
+ from the same location. (patch by Douglas Katzman, lp#1042405)
+ * bug fix: Create vectors of proper internal length when reading literal
+ vectors from FASLs. (Reported by Jan Moringen)
+ * bug fix: COMPILE can now successfully compile setf functions.
+ (Reported by Douglas Katzman)
+ * bug fix: run-program performs more correct escaping of arguments on
+ Windows. (lp#1239242)
+ * bug fix: function-lambda-expression on generic functions returns the
+ actual name.
+ * bug fix: (the [type] [constant]) now warns when [constant] matches
+ [type] except for the number of values. (Reported by Nathan Trapuzzano
+ on sbcl-help)
+ * bug fix: signal errors in required cases of slot-definition initialization
+ protocol. (lp#309072)
+ * bug fix: run-sbcl.sh works better in the presence of symlinks on OS X.
+ (thanks to Stelian Ionescu, lp#1242643)
+ * bug fix: when given a restart object, FIND-RESTART checks whether the
+ restart is active and, when a condition is supplied, whether the restart
+ is associated to a different condition (lp#774410)
