+changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
+  * bug fix: interrupts are disabled until startup is complete; no
+    more sigsegvs when receiving a signal to soon
+  * threads
+    ** bug fix: parent thread now can be gc'ed even with a live
+       child thread
+    ** bug fix: binding a special with PROGV to no value is not
+       the same as that symbol not having been bound (thanks to
+       Hannu Koivisto)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION should take a method class object for
+       the :method-class keyword argument.

   * bug fix: signal handling and triggering gc do not conflict
     directly anymore, in particular a high frequency sb-sprof does
     not prevent gc from running
+  * bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now uses a more reasonable
+    approximation for timezone and DST information between the
+    universal time epoch and the smallest negative 32-bit time_t.
+  * bug fix: ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME no longer errors when passed the
+    year 1899 so long as the encoded time is non-negative.
+  * bug fix: on the x86 platform, SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE returns
+    the correct answer for non-constant rotate amounts when performing
+    an inline 32-bit rotation.
   * threads
     ** bug fix: RELEASE-FOREGROUND doesn't choke on session lock if
        there is only one thread in the session
