+changes in sbcl-0.9.15 relative to sbcl-0.9.14:
+  * added support for the ucs-2 external format.  (contributed by Ivan
+    Boldyrev)
+  * minor incompatible change: pretty printing of objects of type
+    (cons symbol) is, in the default pprint-dispatch-table, now
+    sensitive to whether the symbol satisfies FBOUNDP.  (thanks to
+    Marcus Pearce)
+  * fixed bug: FILE-POSITION sometimes returned inconsistent results
+    for multibyte external-format streams.  (thanks to "vbzoli")
+  * fixed bug: CHANGE-CLASS would fail to preserve the values of slots
+    with :ALLOCATION :CLASS inherited from superclasses of the
+    original class.

   * minor incompatible change: the :SB-LDB feature is now enabled by
     default, and DISABLE-DEBUGGER and ENABLE-DEBUGGER also affect
     the low-level debugger.
+  * enchancement: RUN-PROGRAM is now able to extract the file-descriptor
+    from SYNONYM-STREAM and TWO-WAY-STEAMS provided they can be decomposed
+    down to an SB-SYS:FD-STREAM, allowing direct communication in
+    more cases. Temporary files and pipes are still used as a fallback
+    strategy.
+  * thread-safety: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME & GET-DECODED-TIME depended
+    on the non-reentrant C functions localtime(3) and gmtime(3).
   * bug fix: global optimization policy was not visible in LOCALLY and 
     MACROLET forms.
   * bug fix: class objects can be used as specializers in methods.
