+changes in sbcl-0.9.17 (0.9.99?) relative to sbcl-0.9.16:
+ * incompatible change: External-format support for FFI calls. The
+ SB-ALIEN:C-STRING no longer implies an ASCII
+ external-format. Instead the string is subject to external-format
+ conversion. Additionally return values of type SB-ALIEN:C-STRING
+ are by default of type (SIMPLE-ARRAY CHARACTER), not
+ SIMPLE-BASE-STRING. For an alien type that behaves like the old
+ SB-ALIEN:C-STRING type, use (SB-ALIEN:C-STRING :EXTERNAL-FORMAT
+ :ASCII :ELEMENT-TYPE BASE-CHAR). (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ * incompatible change: SB-EXT package no longer contains the
+ following unused symbols: *GC-NOTIFY-AFTER*, *GC-NOTIFY-BEFORE*,
+ *GC-NOTIFY-STREAM*, *ERROR-PRINT-LENGTH*, *ERROR-PRINT-LEVEL*,
+ *ERROR-PRINT-LINES*
+ * minor incompatible change: the direct superclasses of
+ SB-MOP:FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT are (FUNCTION STANDARD-OBJECT),
+ not (STANDARD-OBJECT FUNCTION). This makes the
+ class-precedence-lists of GENERIC-FUNCTION and
+ STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION comply with the requirement of ANSI
+ 1.4.4.5.
+ * new feature: Add a version of evaluator that uses an interpreter instead
+ of the compiler. EVAL still uses the compiler by default, to switch it
+ to use the interpreter, set the value of the variable
+ SB-EXT:*EVALUATOR-MODE* to :INTERPRET.
+ * bug fix: ENOUGH-NAMESTRING on pathnames with no name and a pattern
+ for a type now works.
+ * bug fix: loading of default sysinit file works. (thanks to Leonid
+ Slobodov)
+ * bug fix: better detection of circularities in the file-compiler.
+ (reported by Marco Monteiro)
+ * bug fix: the CL pathname functions now work with files that have
+ non-ASCII characters in their names (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ * bug fix: The :PTY argument for RUN-PROGRAM will now work on
+ systems with Unix98 pty semantics.
+ * bug fix: arguments to RUN-PROGRAM are escaped correctly on win32
+ (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ * bug fix: ASDF-INSTALL will now work with bsd tar.
+ * bug fix: ASDF-INSTALL uses GNU tar on Solaris (thanks to Josip
+ Gracin).
+ * bug fix: timers expiring in dead threads no longer cause a
+ type-error (reported by Paul "Nonny Mouse").

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.
+ * incompatible change: variable SB-EXT:*USE-IMPLEMENTATION-TYPES*
+ no longer exists.
* 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, allowing compiler-macros for SETF-functions to expand.
+ * enhancement: step-instrumentation no longer wraps known
+ single-value functions with multiple-value context, allowing
+ better type inference.
* 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)
+ * fixed bug #361: the :FUNCTION initarg in the protocol for
+ initialization of methods can now be used to override
+ internally-produced optimized functions. (reported by Bruno
+ Haible)
+ * bug fix: extensions of MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA which wrap the
+ system-provided lambda expression no longer cause warnings about
+ unbound #:|pv-table| symbols.
* bug fix: improved the handling of type declarations and the
detection of violations for keyword arguments with non-constant
defaults.
* 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.
+ * bug fix: inline expansions of known functions were subject to
+ step-instrumentation in high debug policies, leading to problems
+ with type-inference.
+ * bug fix: compiler failed to differentiate between different CONS
+ types in some cases.
+ * bug fix: fixed input, output and error redirection in RUN-PROGRAM
+ for win32. (thanks to Mike Thomas and Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ * bug fix: #368: incorrect use of expressed vs. upgraded array
+ element type.
+ * bug fix: #306a: more precise unions of array types.
+ * thread-safety improvements:
+ ** CONDITION-WAIT could return early on Linux, if the thread was
+ interrupted and subsequently continued with SIGCONT.
+ ** STABLE-SORT and ADJUST-ARRAY were not reentrant.
changes in sbcl-0.9.15 relative to sbcl-0.9.14:
* added support for the ucs-2 external format. (contributed by Ivan
faster
* optimization: added a limited bytecode compiler for simple toplevel
forms, speeding up compilation and FASL loading
+ * bug fix: the statistical profiler now properly distinguishes anonymous
+ functions
changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
* minor incompatible change: in sbcl-0.9.11 (but not earlier
