CREDITS SINCE THE RELEASE OF SBCL
-The PSXHASH code used to implement EQUALP hash tables was originally
-copyright (C) 2000 by Cadabra, Inc., then released into the public
-domain.
-
-Daniel Barlow contributed sblisp.lisp, a set of patches to make SBCL
-play nicely with ILISP. (Those patches have since disappeared from the
-SBCL distribution because ILISP has since been patched to play nicely
-with SBCL.) He also figured out how to get the CMU CL dynamic object
-file loading code to work under SBCL.
-
-Raymond Wiker ported sbcl-0.6.3 back to FreeBSD, restoring the
-ancestral CMU CL support for FreeBSD and updating it for the changes
-made from FreeBSD version 3 to FreeBSD version 4.
-
-Colin Walters' O(N) implementation of the general case of MAP on the
-cmucl-imp@cons.org mailing list was the inspiration for similar MAP
-code in sbcl-0.6.8.
+(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.)

+ file loading code to work under SBCL.
+
+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.
+
+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
+ can be used on SBCL, and submitted many other bug reports as well.
+
+Colin Walters:
+ His O(N) implementation of the general case of MAP, posted on the
+ cmucl-imp@cons.org mailing list, was the inspiration for similar MAP
+ code added in sbcl-0.6.8.
+
+Raymond Wiker:
+ He ported sbcl-0.6.3 back to FreeBSD, restoring the ancestral
+ CMU CL support for FreeBSD and updating it for the changes made
+ from FreeBSD version 3 to FreeBSD version 4. He also ported the
+ CMU CL extension RUN-PROGRAM, and related code, to SBCL.
