+changes in sbcl-0.9.6 relative to sbcl-0.9.5:
+ * bug fix: add a workaround to SBCL looping infinitely at startup on
+ Linux kernels with apparently buggy implementations of personality().
+ (thanks to Svein Ove Aas)
+ * bug fix: Unicode symbols are correctly printed in LDB backtraces
+ (thanks to David Lichteblau)
+ * bug fix: local bindings shadow global symbol macros for
+ macroexpansion. (reported by Matthew D Swank on comp.lang.lisp)
+ * optimization: non-open coded uses of numeric comparison operators
+ (e.g. >) no longer cons when called with more than one parameter
+ on platforms supporting dynamic-extent allocation.
+ * enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now supported
+ on MIPS/Linux in addition to the previously supported platforms.
+ * bug fix: division by zero in sb-sprof when no samples were collected
+ * bug fix: a race when a slow to arrive sigprof signal killed sbcl
+ * bug fix: asdf-install uses CRLF as required by the HTTP spec.
+ (thanks to Alexander Kjeldaas)
+ * new feature: ignoring the return values of destructive functions
+ like NREVERSE signals a compile-time style-warning.
+ (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+ * new feature: the alignment of alien structure fields can be
+ explicitly specified. (thanks to Cyrus Harmon)
+ * threads
+ ** bug fix: threads stacks belonging to dead threads are freed by the
+ next exiting thread, no need to gc to collect thread stacks anymore
+ ** minor incompatible change: INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-ERRNO removed
+ ** WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK can be nested in a WITH-MUTEX for the same lock
+ ** bug fix: dynamic variable and thread start related gc lossage
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** SUBTYPEP is slightly more accurate on heinously complicated
+ CONS types where some of the members have uncertain (in the
+ NIL, NIL sense) type relationships to each other.
+
changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
* new feature: timers based on Zach Beane's excellent timer package
* added support for the following external formats: koi8-u,
iterated. (reported by Bryan O'Connor, fixed by Rob MacLachlan)
* bug fix: backquote does not optimize (LIST* x y) to CONS when x
may be expanded. (reported by Alexander <malishev> on c.l.l)
+ * bug fix: no more style-warnings when compiling code using LAST
+ under high-SPEED low-SPACE settings. (reported by David Wallin
+ aka froog on #lisp)
* fixed some incompatibilities between SBCL's MOP and the MOP
specified by AMOP:
** the METAOBJECT class is now implemented;
