-changes in sbcl-0.7.2 relative to sbcl-0.7.1:
-  * cleanups on SPARC, both Linux and Solaris, and for gcc>=3 (thanks
-    to Christophe Rhodes and Nathan Froyd)
+changes in sbcl-0.7.3 relative to sbcl-0.7.2:
+  * SBCL now runs on the PPC archtiecture under Linux. It actually did
+    this as of 0.7.1.45, but was left out of the previous news section
+    (thanks to Dan Barlow)
+  * SBCL now runs on the Solaris operating system on SPARC architectures
+    (thanks to Christophe Rhodes's port of the CMUCL runtime)
+  * cleanups to the runtime on SPARC, both Linux and Solaris, and for
+    gcc>=3 (thanks to Nathan Froyd and Ingvar Mattsson)
   * ANSI's DEFINE-SYMBOL-MACRO is now supported. (thanks to Nathan
-    Froyd porting CMU CL code)
+    Froyd porting CMU CL code originally by Douglas Thomas Crosher)
   * The fasl file format has changed again, to allow the compiler's
     INFO database to support symbol macros.
+  * The user manual (in doc/) is formatted into HTML more nicely.

+changes in sbcl-0.7.3 relative to sbcl-0.7.2:
+  * The system is smarter about SUBTYPEP relationships, especially
+    those involving NOT types (including types such as ATOM which are
+    represented internally using NOT types). Thus SUBTYPEP is less
+    likely to return (VALUES NIL NIL) in general, and in particular
+    bugs 58 and (the remaining bits of) bug 50 are fixed. (thanks to
+    Christophe Rhodes)
+  * The fasl file format has changed again, because the internal
+    representation of types now includes a new slot to support the new
+    SUBTYPEP-of-NOT-types logic.
+  * (not a change in the main branch of SBCL, but a related prototype
+    which can hopefully be merged into the main branch of SBCL in the
+    future:) Brian Spilsbury has produced a Unicode-enabled variant of
+    sbcl-0.7.0, available as a patch against sbcl-0.7.0 at
+      <http://designix.com.au/brian/SBCL/sbcl-0.7.0-unicode.p0.gz>.
