+changes in sbcl-0.9.18 (1.0.beta?) relative to sbcl-0.9.16:
+ * bug fix: two potential GC deadlocks affecting threaded builds.
+ * bug fix: (TYPEP #\A '(NOT (MEMBER #\" #\{ #\:))) now correctly
+ returns T (reported by Anton Kazennikov)
+ * bug fix: the STORE-VALUE restart of CHECK-TYPE works correctly
+ with non-variable places
+ * bug fix: remove a race condition in the setting of
+ funcallable-instance functions, this should make threaded CLOS
+ code more stable against memory faults.
+ * improvement: the debugger will now also display local variables that
+ are only used once, for code compiled with a DEBUG optimization quality
+ of 2 or higher.

changes in sbcl-0.9.17 (0.9.99?) relative to sbcl-0.9.16:
+ * feature: weak hash tables, see MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation
* 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
following unused symbols: *GC-NOTIFY-AFTER*, *GC-NOTIFY-BEFORE*,
*GC-NOTIFY-STREAM*, *ERROR-PRINT-LENGTH*, *ERROR-PRINT-LEVEL*,
*ERROR-PRINT-LINES*
+ * incompatible change: the single-stepper is no longer available
+ on Alpha, Mips and Sparc platforms.
* 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.
+ * minor incompatible change: the default stream external format on
+ non-unicode SBCL is no longer detected from the locale, but is always
+ ISO-8859-1
* 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.
+ * minor incompatible change: the single-stepper REPL has been merged
+ with the normal debugger (see the "Stepping" heading of the debugger help
+ for more details). The debugger command STEP will no longer switch
+ to the single-stepper REPL.
* 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
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").
+ * bug fix: thanks to more lightweight single-stepper instrumentation,
+ code compiled with (DEBUG 3) will compile and execute significantly faster,
+ and will have more accurate type-inferencing than before
+ * bug fix: SLOT-VALUE optimizations are no longer done on method parameters
+ whose bindings are modified
+ * improvements to the win32 port (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk):
+ ** bug fix: arguments to RUN-PROGRAM are escaped correctly
+ ** replace dummy implementations of CL:MACHINE-INSTANCE and
+ CL:SOFTWARE-VERSION with proper version
