changes in sbcl-0.8.8 relative to sbcl-0.8.7:
+ * minor incompatible change: parsing of namestrings on a physical
+ (Unix) host has changed; numbers after the final #\. in a
+ namestring are no longer interpreted as a version field. This is
+ intented to be largely invisible to the user, except that the
+ meaning of the namestring "*.*.*" has changed: it now refers to a
+ pathname with :TYPE :WILD :NAME #<pattern "*.*">. This namestring
+ should usually be replaced by
+ (make-pathname :name :wild :type :wild :version :wild)
+ with the added benefit that this is more likely to be portable.
+ As a consequence of this change, the :IF-EXISTS :NEW-VERSION
+ option to OPEN now signals an error if the file being opened
+ exists; this may have an impact on existing code.
* bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now accepts timezone arguments with
second-resolution: integer multiples of 1/3600 between -24 and 24.

behaviour, and in particular no longer treats all memory as being
exhausted when many small objects point to each other in a deeply
recursive manner.
+ * bug fix: arrays specialized on (UNSIGNED-BYTE 15) are now
+ recognized as being TYPEP their class.
* optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the x86 backend.
* optimization: SEARCH on simple-base-strings can now be open-coded.
(see also contrib/compiler-extras.lisp for inspiration for
teaching the compiler about the Boyer-Moore algorithm).
+ * value, returned by MAX (and MIN) called with several EQUALP, but
+ not EQL, arguments now does not depend on compiler settings.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** in stack analysis liveness information is propagated from
non-local entry points.
or not a character is whitespace.
** MERGE-PATHNAMES handles the case when the pathname does not
specify a name while the default-pathname specifies a version.
+ ** Pathnames now stand a better chance of respecting print/read
+ consistency.
+ ** Attempting to use standardized file system operators with a
+ pathname with invalid :DIRECTORY components signals a
+ FILE-ERROR.
+ ** OPEN :DIRECTION :IO no longer fails to work on non-existent
+ files.
+ ** DIRECTORY on logical pathnames is more correct.
+ ** CLEAR-INPUT, CLEAR-OUTPUT, FINISH-OUTPUT and FORCE-OUTPUT
+ signal a TYPE-ERROR if their argument is not a stream.
+ ** READ-BYTE and WRITE-BYTE signal a TYPE-ERROR if their stream
+ designator argument does not designate a stream.
