changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
- * Enhancements for sbcl running on the Windows operating system:
- ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
- locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
- directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
- ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
- ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
- ** better backtrace support (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
- ** sb-grovel supported
- ** asdf-install and sb-posix work somewhat
- ** capable of running Slime using SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE* NIL
+ * minor incompatible change: in sbcl-0.9.11 (but not earlier
+ versions) SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE would recursively descend
+ into subclasses of the finalized class. Now user calls to
+ FINALIZE-INHERITANCE finalize just the one class, and calls by the
+ system return before any subclasses are finalized.
* minor incompatible change: The reader no longer ignores errors
regarding non-existent packages in #+ and #- feature tests.
* new feature: command line options --no-sysinit, --no-userinit to
(SETF DOCUMENTATION); only find and set documentation for
structure names for the STRUCTURE doc-type. (suggested by Gary
King)

+ ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
+ locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
+ directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
+ ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
+ ** better backtrace support (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)

+ ** capable of running Slime using SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE* NIL
