+changes in sbcl-0.8.20 (0.9alpha.0?) relative to sbcl-0.8.19:
   * 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 bug: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR correctly shallow-copies a
+    dispatch table if the from-char is a dispatch macro character.
+  * fixed bug: COUNT and EQUAL on bit vectors with lengths divisible
+    by the wordsize no longer ignore the last word.  (reported by Lutz
+    Euler)
   * 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.
+    ** COMPILE-FILE now respects any EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument given,
+       passing it through to OPEN.
+    ** LOAD on source files likewise passes any EXTERNAL-FORMAT
+       argument given to internal calls to OPEN.
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** Space, Tab, Linefeed, Return and Page have the invalid
+       secondary constituent character trait.
+    ** SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR correctly copies multiple-escape character
+       syntax.
