+changes in sbcl-0.7.5 relative to sbcl-0.7.4:
+  * SBCL now runs on the Tru64 (aka OSF/1) operating system on the
+    Alpha architecture.
+  * SBCL now builds with OpenMCL (version 0.12) as the
+    cross-compilation host; also, more progress has been made toward
+    bootstrapping under CLISP.
+  * bug 140 fixed: redefinition of classes with different supertypes
+    is now reflected in the type hierarchy. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
+  * bug 158 fixed: the compiler can now deal with integer loop
+    increments different from 1; fixing this turned out also to fix
+    bug 164.
+  * bug 169 fixed: no more bogus warnings about using lexical bindings
+    despite the presence of perfectly good SPECIAL declarations. (thanks
+    to David Lichteblau)
+  * bug 175 fixed: more-closely-ANSI CHANGE-CLASS function, now
+    accepting initargs. (thanks to Espen Johnsen and Pierre Mai)
+  * bug 179 fixed: DIRECTORY can now deal with filenames with pattern
+    characters in them.
+  * bug fix: Structure type predicate functions now check their argument
+    count as they should.
+  * bug fix: classes with :METACLASS STRUCTURE-CLASS now print
+    correctly. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
+  * minor incompatible change: The --noprogrammer option is deprecated
+    in favor of the new name --disable-debugger option, which takes
+    effect at a slightly different time at startup (so that e.g.
+    handling of errors in --sysinit and --userinit files will be affected
+    differently). The SB-EXT:DISABLE-DEBUGGER and SB-EXT:ENABLE-DEBUGGER
+    functions have been added to allow this functionality to be controlled
+    from ordinary Lisp code. (ENABLE-DEBUGGER should help people like the
+    Debian maintainers, who might want to run non-interactive scripts to
+    build SBCL cores which will later be used interactively.)
+  * minor incompatible change: The LOAD function no longer, when given
+    a wild pathname to load, loads all files matching that pathname;
+    instead, an error of type FILE-ERROR is signalled.
+
 planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
 * When the profiling interface settles down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe
   later, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
