+changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
+ * added support for the following external formats: koi8-u,
+ x-mac-cyrillic, cp437, cp850, cp852, cp855, cp857, cp860, cp861,
+ cp862, cp863, cp864, cp865, cp866, cp869, cp874, iso-8859-2,
+ iso-8859-3, iso-8859-4, iso-8859-5, iso-8859-6, iso-8859-7,
+ iso-8859-8, iso-8859-9, iso-8859-10, iso-8859-11, iso-8859-13,
+ iso-8859-14, cp1250, cp1251, cp1252, cp1253, cp1254,
+ cp1255,cp1256, cp1257, cp1258 (contributed by Ivan Boldyrev)
+ * bug fix: interrupts are disabled until startup is complete; no
+ more sigsegvs when receiving a signal to soon
+ * optimization: Faster 32-bit SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE on non-x86/ppc
+ platforms
+ * threads
+ ** bug fix: parent thread now can be gc'ed even with a live
+ child thread
+ ** bug fix: binding a special with PROGV to no value is not
+ the same as that symbol not having been bound (thanks to
+ Hannu Koivisto)
+ ** bug fix: binding specials is thread safe (thanks to
+ Hannu Koivisto)
+ ** bug fix: interrupt handlers are now per-process, RUN-PROGRAM
+ and SB-SPROF do not die with 'no handler for signal XX in
+ interrupt_handle_now(..)' anymore
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION should take a method class object for
+ the :method-class keyword argument.

changes in sbcl-0.9.4 relative to sbcl-0.9.3:
+ * new port: the Solaris operating system on x86 processors is now
+ mostly supported, though some rough edges in the environment
+ remain. (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
* enhancement: SBCL on MIPS platforms now has a much larger dynamic
space for its heap. (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+ * optimization: SBCL on MIPS platforms now supports dynamic-extent
+ closures. (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
* minor incompatible change: eof selects abort in the debugger.
* minor incompatible change: *INVOKE-DEBUGGER-HOOK* is run before
*DEBUGGER-HOOK* => *DEBUGGER-HOOK* is not run when the debugger
with non-standard methods for COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS no longer
make invalid assumptions about method precedence order. (reported
by Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: TRUNCATE now correctly signals division by zero on MIPS
+ platforms. (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
* bug fix: degree sign (<U00B0>) could not be encoded in KOI8-R.
* bug fix: correct pathname printing with printer escaping is on.
(thanks to Kevin Reid)
* bug fix: signal handling and triggering gc do not conflict
directly anymore, in particular a high frequency sb-sprof does
not prevent gc from running
+ * bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now uses a more reasonable
+ approximation for timezone and DST information between the
+ universal time epoch and the smallest negative 32-bit time_t.
+ * bug fix: ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME no longer errors when passed the
+ year 1899 so long as the encoded time is non-negative.
+ * bug fix: on the x86 platform, SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE returns
+ the correct answer for non-constant rotate amounts when performing
+ an inline 32-bit rotation.
* threads
** bug fix: RELEASE-FOREGROUND doesn't choke on session lock if
there is only one thread in the session
** bug fix: lockup when compiled with gcc4
** bug fix: race that allows the gc to be triggered when gc is
inhibited
+ ** bug fix: one less memory fault in INTERRUPT-THREAD, again
+ ** bug fix: gc and INTERRUPT-THREAD don't hang when the RT signal
+ queue is full
+ ** bug fix: finished threads are gc'ed properly
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** CALL-NEXT-METHOD signals an error (in safe code) when the call
+ has arguments with a different set of applicable methods from
+ the orignal arguments.
+ ** The type error thrown by MAP now has a correct expected-type
+ cell.
+ ** DISASSEMBLE now throws a TYPE-ERROR when its argument does not
+ name a compiled function.
+ ** Three MISC tests where a large bignum was improperly coerced to
+ a float that couldn't represent that bignum during type
+ derivation were fixed.
+ ** SUBTYPEP can now handle types involving the negation of a
+ list-form FUNCTION type.
+ ** SUBTYPEP also now handles certain COMPLEX type specifiers such
+ as (COMPLEX (AND RATIO (NOT FIXNUM))).
+ ** READ-BYTE and WRITE-BYTE no longer take stream designators.
changes in sbcl-0.9.3 relative to sbcl-0.9.2:
* New feature: Experimental support for bivalent streams: streams
