+changes in sbcl-0.9.19 (1.0.0?) relative to sbcl-0.9.18:
+ * improvement: runtime option --dynamic-space-size can be used
+ to set the size of the dynamic space reserved on startup.
+ * improvement: floating point modes in effect are now saved in
+ core, and restored on startup.
+ * improvement: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME now reports the time since
+ startup, not time since first call to GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME.
+ * improvement: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE explicitly checks that multiple
+ threads are not running after *SAVE-HOOKS* have run.
+ * improvement: writes to CLOS instance slots are type-checked in code
+ compiled with (SAFETY 3)
+ * improvement: floating-point exception handling should work on all
+ POSIX platforms (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * bug fix: compiler bug triggered by a (non-standard) VALUES
+ declaration in a LET* was fixed. (reported by Kaersten Poeck)
+ * bug fix: file compiler no longer confuses validated and already
+ dumped structurres. (reported by Kaersten Poeck)
+ * bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY :FILL-POINTER T on an array without a
+ fill-pointer signals a type-error as required. (thanks to
+ Lars Brinkhoff)
+ * bug fix: disassemly of funcallable instances works.
+ * bug fix: single stepping on PPC.
+ * bug fix: fix thread-safety problems in the type system (generally
+ manifesting as nonsensical errors like "STRING is a bad type specifier
+ for sequences" or "The value 1 is not of type FIXNUM")
+ * Improvements to the Windows port:
+ ** floating point exceptions are now reported correctly.
+ ** stack exhaustion detection works partially.
+ ** more accurate GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME.
+ ** better RUN-PROGRAM behaviour in case of errors in the child
+ process.
+ ** PROBE-FILE now simplifies pathnames correctly.
+ ** DIRECTORY now works correctly with :WILD-INFERIORS.
+ ** DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME works on times before 00:00:00 January
+ 1st 1970 (although time timezone data will be unreliable).
+ ** Hyperbolic functions TANH, ASINH, ACOSH, and ATANH work.

+changes in sbcl-0.9.18 (1.0.beta?) relative to sbcl-0.9.17:
+ * enhancement: SB-POSIX now supports cfsetispeed(3), cfsetospeed(3),
+ cfgetispeed(3), cfgetospeed(3), and related constants. (thanks to
+ Max-Gerd Retzlaff)
+ * 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.
+ * bug fix: corruption of specials when unbinding is interrupted by an
+ asynchronous unwind (reported by Hannu Koivisto)
+ * 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
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
* 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
+ ** bug fix: arguments to RUN-PROGRAM are escaped correctly
+ ** replace dummy implementations of CL:MACHINE-INSTANCE and
+ CL:SOFTWARE-VERSION with proper version
changes in sbcl-0.9.16 relative to sbcl-0.9.15:
* feature: implemented the READER-METHOD-CLASS and
