CREDITS SINCE THE RELEASE OF SBCL
+(Some more details are available in the NEWS file and in the
+project's CVS change logs.)
+
+Martin Atzmueller:
+ He reported many bugs, fixed many bugs, ported various fixes
+ from CMU CL, and helped clean up various stale bug data. (He has
+ been unusually energetic at this. As of sbcl-0.6.9.10, the
+ total number of bugs involved likely exceeds 100.)

Daniel Barlow:
He contributed sblisp.lisp, a set of patches to make SBCL
play nicely with ILISP. (Those patches have since disappeared from the
with SBCL.) He also figured out how to get the CMU CL dynamic object
file loading code to work under SBCL.
-Cadabra, Inc.:
+Cadabra, Inc. (later merged into GoTo.com):
They hired William Newman to do some consulting for them,
including the implementation of EQUALP hash tables for CMU CL;
then agreed to release the EQUALP code into the public domain,
- giving SBCL, and CMU CL, EQUALP hash tables.
+ giving SBCL (and CMU CL) EQUALP hash tables.
+
+Douglas Crosher:
+ He continued to improve CMU CL after SBCL forked from it, creating
+ many patches which were directly applicable to SBCL. Notable examples
+ include fixes for various compiler bugs, and a generalization
+ of the type system's handling of the CONS type to allow ANSI-style
+ (CONS FOO BAR) types.
+
+Robert MacLachlan:
+ He has continued to answer questions about, and contribute fixes to,
+ the CMU CL project. Some of these fixes, especially for compiler
+ problems, has been invaluable to the CMU CL project and, by
+ porting, invaluable to the SBCL project as well.
+
+William Newman:
+ He continued to work on the project after the fork, increasing
+ ANSI compliance, fixing bugs, regularizing the internals of the
+ system, deleting unused extensions, improving performance in
+ some areas (especially sequence functions and non-simple vectors),
+ and updating documentation.
Peter Van Eynde:
He wrestled the CLISP test suite into a portable test suite which
