 changes in sbcl-0.6.12 relative to sbcl-0.6.11:
+* incompatible change: The old SB-EXT:OPTIMIZE-INTERFACE declaration
+  is no longer recognized. I apologize for this, because it was
+  listed in SB-EXT as a supported extension, but I found that
+  its existing behavior was poorly specified, as well as incorrectly
+  specified, and it looked like too much of a mess to straighten it
+  out. I have enough on my hands trying to get ANSI stuff to work..
 * many patches ported from CMU CL by Martin Atzmueller, with 
   half a dozen bug fixes in pretty-printing and the debugger, and
   half a dozen others elsewhere
-* improved support for intersection types, fixing bug 12 (E.g., now
-  (SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL)=>T,T.)
-?? The :PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE and :PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE features
+* fixed bug 13: Floating point infinities are now supported again.
+* fixed bug 45a: Various internal functions required to support
+  complex special functions have been merged from CMU CL sources.
+  (When I was first setting up SBCL, I misunderstood a compile-time
+  conditional #-OLD-SPECFUN, and so accidentally deleted them.)
+* The :SB-PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE and :SB-PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE features
   are now supported, and enabled by default. Thus, the compiler can
   handle many floating point and complex operations much less
   inefficiently. (Thus e.g. you can implement a complex FFT
   without consing!)
-?? unscrewed floating point infinities (bug 13) in order to support
-  :PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE and :PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE features
+* improved support for type intersection and union, fixing bug 12
+  (e.g., now (SUBTYPEP 'KEYWORD 'SYMBOL)=>T,T) and some other
+  more obscure bugs as well
 * various fixes to make the cross-compiler more portable to
   ANSI-conforming-but-different cross-compilation hosts (notably
   Lispworks for Windows, following bug reports from Arthur Lemmens)

   ANSI Common Lisp standard, may change to their ASCII symbolic
   names: #\Nul, #\Soh, #\Stx, etc.
 * INTERNAL-TIME-UNITS-PER-SECOND might increase, e.g. to 1000.
+* MAYBE-INLINE will probably go away at some point, maybe 0.7.x,
+  maybe later, in favor of the ANSI-recommended idiom for making
