+changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8:
+  * new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating
+    system has been added.  (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+  * fixed several bugs in and robustified the PPC FFI (including
+    callbacks).  (thanks to Cyrus Harmon and Heiner Schwarte)
+  * bug fix: allow non-simple string symbol names (reported by Paul
+    Dietz)
+  * bug fix: interrupt handling on NetBSD (thanks to Richard M
+    Kreuter)
+  * bug fix: saving a core corrupted callbacks on x86/x86-64
+  * optimization: major improvements to GC efficiency on GENCGC platforms
+  * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL
+  * optimization: emit more efficient opcodes for some common 
+    immediate->register MOV instructions on x86-64.  (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+  * optimization: several other minor code-generation improvements on x86-64
+  * fixed segfaults on x86 FreeBSD 7-current.  (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)

 changes in sbcl-0.9.8 relative to sbcl-0.9.7:
   * minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
     GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are generic functions once more (reverting
     the change in the 0.9.7 release).  (SETF CLASS-NAME) is specified
     by ANSI as a generic function, and for consistency (SETF
     GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) is treated likewise.
+  * fixed bug #233.b: make constraint propagation notice when a variable
+    value is changed after it is referenced but before it is used
   * fixed bug #296: no more arbitrary behaviour from filenames with
     odd characters as --load arguments.  (reported by Adam Warner)
   * fixed bug #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
