+changes in sbcl-0.8.20 (0.9alpha.0?) relative to sbcl-0.8.18:
+ * fixed disassembly of SHLD and SHRD on x86. (thanks to David
+ Lichteblau)
+ * fixed bugs 19 and 317: fixed-format floating point printing is
+ more accurate. This also fixes a bug reported by Adam Warner
+ related to the ~@F format directive.
+ * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
+ ** portions of multibyte characters at the end of buffers for
+ character-based file input are correctly transferred to the
+ start of the buffer at the next read.

changes in sbcl-0.8.19 relative to sbcl-0.8.18:
* new port: SBCL now works in native 64-bit mode on x86-64/Linux
platform. The port supports 61-bit fixnums, large memory spaces
* enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
supported on ppc/Darwin in addition to the previously supported
platforms.
+ * enhancement: the statistical profiler now walks deeper into the
+ call stack for more meaningful call-graphs and accrued time
+ reports (x86/x86-64 only). It also now reports time spent in
+ foreign functions.
+ * enhancement: it is now possible to trace most individual methods
+ of a generic function in addition to tracing the generic function
+ itself.
* bug fix: invalid :DEFAULT-INITARGS are detected in compiled calls
to MAKE-INSTANCE.
* bug fix: defaulted initargs are passed to INITIALIZE-INSTANCE and
directories works correctly. (thanks to Artem V. Andreev)
* fixed bug 125: compiler preserves identity of closures. (reported
by Gabe Garza)
+ * bug fixed: functions with &REST arguments sometimes failed with
+ "Undefined function" when compiled with (DEBUG 3). (reported by
+ Robert J. Macomber)
+ * bug fix: overflow during compiling of setting element of a bit
+ vector with constant index and value. (reported by Timmy Douglas)
* build fix: fixed the dependence on *LOAD-PATHNAME* and
*COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* being absolute pathnames.
* on x86 compiler partially supports stack allocation of dynamic-extent
closures.
+ * GO and RETURN-FROM do not check the extent of their exit points
+ when compiled with SAFETY 0.
* fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
** encoding and decoding errors are now much more robustly
handled; it should now be possible to recover even from invalid
input or output to the terminal. (thanks to Teemu Kalvas)
+ ** provided a first cut at implementing STRING-TO-OCTETS and
+ OCTETS-TO-STRING. (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+ ** altered the SB-MD5 contributed module slightly, changing the
+ interface just enough for it to be supportable for builds where
+ lisp characters are not eight bits.
* fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
** the FORMATTER-generated functions for ~V[ conditionals require
the correct number of arguments.
+ ** READ-FROM-STRING returns the mandated second value when applied
+ to displaced strings.
+ ** the #\Rubout and #\Backspace characters are treated as invalid
+ constituent characters by the tokenizer.
changes in sbcl-0.8.18 relative to sbcl-0.8.17:
* new feature: reloading changed shared object files with
