+changes in sbcl-0.9.16 relative to sbcl-0.9.15:
+ * feature: implemented the READER-METHOD-CLASS and
+ WRITER-METHOD-CLASS portion of the Class Initialization Protocol
+ as specified by AMOP.
+ * optimization: faster LOGCOUNT implementation on x86 and x86-64
+ (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: hashing of general arrays and vectors has been
+ improved. (reported by Any Fingerhut)
+ * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT is now able to find definitions of
+ profiled functions. (thanks to Troels Henriksen)
+ * enhancement: compiler-macro expansion applies now to FUNCALL forms
+ as well.
+ * fixed bug #337: use of MAKE-METHOD in method combination now works
+ even in the presence of user-defined method classes. (reported by
+ Bruno Haible and Pascal Costanza)
+ * fixed bug #339(c): if there are applicable methods not part of any
+ long-form method-combination group, call INVALID-METHOD-ERROR.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: improved the handling of type declarations and the
+ detection of violations for keyword arguments with non-constant
+ defaults.
+ * bug fix: potentially erronous calls to PATHNAME and
+ MERGE-PATHNAMES were being flushed in some cases.
+ (reported by Richard Kreuter)
+ * bug fix: compiled calls to TYPEP were mishandling obsolete
+ instances. (reported by James Bielman and Attila Lendvai)
+ * bug fix: format strings with ~> without matching ~< no longer
+ trigger an AVER, but signal an understandable error instead.
+ (reported by Antonio Martinez)
+ * bug fix: specifying an output-file without a pathname-type for
+ COMPILE-FILE or COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME resulted in using the type
+ of input-file instead of "fasl". (reported by Robert Dodier)
+ * bug fix: compiler-macro lambda-list parsing of FUNCALL forms.
+ (reported by James Y Knight).
+ * bug fix: compiler-macros-function did not consider the environment
+ argument for shadowing by local functions.
+ * bug fix: compiler-macros expansion was inhibited by local INLINE
+ declarations.

changes in sbcl-0.9.15 relative to sbcl-0.9.14:
- * added support for the ucs-2 external format (contributed by Ivan Boldyrev)
+ * added support for the ucs-2 external format. (contributed by Ivan
+ Boldyrev)
* minor incompatible change: pretty printing of objects of type
(cons symbol) is, in the default pprint-dispatch-table, now
sensitive to whether the symbol satisfies FBOUNDP. (thanks to
Marcus Pearce)
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is now
+ called later in a class's lifetime, possibly as late as when the
+ first instance of the class is created. Previously,
+ SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE was called by the system as soon as a
+ class became finalizeable.
* fixed bug: FILE-POSITION sometimes returned inconsistent results
- for multibyte external-format streams (thanks to "vbzoli")
+ for multibyte external-format streams. (thanks to "vbzoli")
+ * fixed bug: CHANGE-CLASS would fail to preserve the values of slots
+ with :ALLOCATION :CLASS inherited from superclasses of the
+ original class.
+ * fixed bug: anonymous classes can now be created using the :NAME
+ initarg and MAKE-INSTANCE / REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE, as specified by
+ AMOP. (reported by Leonid Slobodov on comp.lang.lisp)
+ * fixed bug: core-files saved with :EXECUTABLE T can again be
+ executed when SBCL_HOME isn't set. (reported by James Knight)
+ * fixed bug: toplevel LOCALLY forms with declarations could
+ occasionally get miscompiled. (reported by Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ * fixed bug: printing from several different threads using different
+ values of *print-case* could cause invalid output, due to
+ some internal special variables of the printer not being bound
+ thread-locally (reported by Max Mikhanosha)
+ * fixed bug: SPECIALIZER metaobjects (including anonymous classes
+ and EQL-SPECIALIZERs) can be used as specializers to DEFMETHOD.
+ (reported by Pascal Costanza)
+ * fixed bug: FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is called from
+ REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE on classes when the class has previously
+ been finalized, as required by AMOP.
+ * minor code generation optimizations:
+ ** better register allocation in CLOS dispatching functions
+ ** overflow detection when coercing signed bytes to fixnums on x86-64
+ ** is now implemented with one IMUL instruction instead of three shifts
+ ** more efficient bit-vector access on x86 and x86-64
+ ** more efficient access to raw structure slots on x86 and x86-64
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST.8: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST must
+ return its argument.
changes in sbcl-0.9.14 relative to sbcl-0.9.13:
