+changes in sbcl-0.9.14 relative to sbcl-0.9.13:
+ * minor incompatible change: prevent the user from specializing the
+ new-value argument to SB-MOP:SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS. It's
+ somewhat counter to the intent of the protocol, I (CSR) think, and
+ additionally it just doesn't work in SBCL as currently
+ implemented, thanks to optimizations (that are always valid for
+ the other three SLOT-VALUEish functions, but not for the setter).
+ * bug fix: unparsing logical pathnames with :NAME :WILD :TYPE NIL
+ failed with a type error. (reported by Pascal Bourguignon)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** MISC.641: LET-conversion were not supposed to work in late
+ compilation stages.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.9.13 relative to sbcl-0.9.12:
+ * new feature: source path information is generated for macro-expansion
+ errors for use in IDE's like Slime (thanks to Helmut Eller)
+ * bug fix: calls to the compiler no longer modify *RANDOM-STATE*
+ * bug fix: compiler does not loop forever on an invalid type in
+ TYPEP.
+ * improvement: compilation of most CLOS applications is significantly
+ faster
+ * optimization: added a limited bytecode compiler for simple toplevel
+ forms, speeding up compilation and FASL loading
+
+changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
+ * minor incompatible change: in sbcl-0.9.11 (but not earlier
+ versions) SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE would recursively descend
+ into subclasses of the finalized class. Now user calls to
+ FINALIZE-INHERITANCE finalize just the one class, and calls by the
+ system return before any subclasses are finalized.
+ * minor incompatible change: The reader no longer ignores errors
+ regarding non-existent packages in #+ and #- feature tests.
+ * new feature: command line options --no-sysinit, --no-userinit to
+ inhibit loading the corresponding init files
+ * new feature: add a generic function SOCKET-SEND to SB-BSD-SOCKETS,
+ for sending data through UDP sockets (thanks to François-René Rideau)
+ * minor incompatible change: SIGPIPE is ignored and "Broken pipe"
+ error is signalled instead (thanks to François-René Rideau)
+ * minor incompatible change: Error signalling behaviour of lexical
+ operations violating package locks has changed slightly. Refer to
+ documentation on package locks for details.
+ * enhancement: EVAL can process IF-expressions without resorting to the
+ compiler.
+ * bug fix: Some operations involving SIN, COS, or TAN weren't being
+ constant-folded properly due to missing out-of-line functions.
+ (reported by Mika Pihlajamäki)
+ * bug fix: LISTEN sometimes returned T even in cases where no data was
+ immediately available from the stream
+ * fixed bug: types of the last two arguments to SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR
+ were reversed. (reported by Levente Mészáros)
+ * fixed bug: Tests for the (VECTOR T) type gave the wrong answer
+ when given a vector displaced to an adjustable array. (reported
+ by Utz-Uwe Haus)
+ * bug fix: derivation of float boundaries from numbers outside the
+ appropriate float range (reported by John Wiseman)
+ * bug fix: MAKE-LOAD-FORM-SAVING-SLOTS accepts en empty slot name
+ list.
+ * bug fix: precomputing cache entries for generic functions with
+ some subclasses of specializers as yet invalid does not attempt to
+ fill a cache line with a negative offset. (reported by Levente
+ Mészároz)
+ * improvements to DOCUMENTATION for TYPE and STRUCTURE doc-types:
+ allow condition class objects as arguments to DOCUMENTATION and
+ (SETF DOCUMENTATION); only find and set documentation for
+ structure names for the STRUCTURE doc-type. (suggested by Gary
+ King)
+ * improvements to the Win32/x86 port:
+ ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
+ locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
+ directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
+ ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
+ ** better backtrace support (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+ ** sb-grovel supported
+ ** asdf-install and sb-posix work somewhat
+ ** capable of running Slime using SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE* NIL
+ * improvements to the Solaris/x86 port:
+ ** works on Solaris 11/Solaris Express
+ ** floating-point exception handling support
+ ** support for the breakpoint-based TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL facility
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
+ the method is not one of the generic functions' methods.
+ ** objects declared as MEMBER types can be admissible arguments to
+ structure accessors.
+ ** printing characters should simply be printed by the FORMAT ~:C
+ directive.
+ ** compiler failure when compiling functions with hairy constant
+ defaults for optional parameters.
+ ** compiler produces wrong code when MAYBE-INLINE-expanding a
+ function, which is already optimized.
