 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 #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
     expected.  (reported by Tim Daly Jr)
   * fixed bug #391: complicated :TYPE intersections in slot

   * bug fix: FILE-STRING-LENGTH is now external-format sensitive,
     returning the number of octets which would be written to the
     file-stream.  (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+  * bug fix: the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contrib passes external-format
+    arguments to the internal stream functions.  (thanks to David

   * optimization: improved type inference for arithmetic-for
     index variables in LOOP
   * optimization: faster floating-point SQRT on x86-64
+  * bug fix: more accurate ROOM results on GENCGC platforms
