+changes in sbcl-0.8.17 relative to sbcl-0.8.16:
+ * the system now has rudimentary external-format support; the
+ primary user-visible change at this time is that characters with
+ the high bit set (such as lower-case-e-acute) will print correctly
+ to a terminal in a UTF-8 environment.
+ * minor incompatible change: BASE-CHAR no longer names a class;
+ however, CHARACTER continues to do so, as required by ANSI.
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-DEBUG:*DEBUG-PRINT-FOO* variables
+ are no longer supported, and SB-DEBUG:*DEBUG-PRINT-VARIABLE-ALIST*
+ has been moved to the SB-EXT package (temporarily re-exported from
+ SB-DEBUG).
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-C::*COMPILER-ERROR-PRINT-FOO* variables
+ are no longer supported: use SB-EXT:*COMPILER-PRINT-VARIABLE-ALIST*
+ instead.
+ * fixed bug #308: non-graphic characters now all have names, as
+ required. (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: Cyclic structures and unprintable objects in compiler
+ messages no longer cause errors. (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: READ, READ-PRESERVING-WHITESPACE, READ-DELIMITED-LIST,
+ and READ-FROM-STRING all now return a primary value of NIL if
+ *READ-SUPPRESS* is true. (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: Default value of EOF-ERROR-P in READ-FROM-STRING is true.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: ERROR now signals a TYPE-ERROR if the arguments to ERROR
+ do not designate a condition. (reported by Bruno Haible for
+ CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: UNINTERN, USE-PACKAGE, IMPORT and EXPORT all signal an
+ SB-EXT:NAME-CONFLICT condition (subtype of PACKAGE-ERROR) in the
+ name conflict situations in CLHS 11.1.1.2.5, and provide a restart
+ permitting resolution in favour of any of the conflicting symbols.
+ (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: EQUAL compiler optimizations is less aggressive on
+ strings which can potentially compare true despite having distinct
+ specialized array element types.
+ * FORMAT compile-time argument count checking has been enhanced.
+ (report from Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** RENAME-PACKAGE allows all package designators as new package
+ names.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.16 relative to sbcl-0.8.15:
+ * enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
+ supported on x86/NetBSD and sparc/Linux in addition to the previously
+ supported platforms.
+ * bug fix: on some platforms repeated installations caused multiple
+ copies of HTML documentation to be installed -- should not happen
+ any more. (reported by Stefan Scholl)
+ * bug fix: parsing self-recursive alien record types multiple times
+ no longer causes infinite recursion. (reported by Thomas F. Burdick,
+ original patch by Helmut Eller for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: stack-exhaustion detection works now on NetBSD as well.
+ (thanks to Richard Kreuter)
+ * bug fix: defining classes whose accessors are methods on existing
+ generic functions in other (locked) packages no longer signals
+ bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
+ * bug fix: special variables as DEFMETHOD parameters no longer have
+ associated bogus type declarations. (reported by David Wragg and
+ Bruno Haible)
+ * bug fix: read-write consistency on streams of element-type
+ (SIGNED-BYTE N) for N > 32. (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+ * bug fix: redefiniton of the only method of a generic function with
+ no DEFGENERIC no longer emits a full WARNING. In addition,
+ redefinition of generic functions with no DEFGENERIC to an
+ incompatible lambda list now signals an error. (thanks to Zach
+ Beane)
+ * bug fix: DEFGENERIC now works even when there's a function of the
+ same name in an enclosing lexical environment. (thanks to Zach
+ Beane)
+ * fixed compiler failure, caused by instrumenting code during
+ IR1-optimization. (Debian bug report #273606 by Gabor Melis)
+ * optimization: added loop analysis and improved register allocation
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** POSITION on displaced vectors with non-zero displacement
+ returns the right answer.
+ ** (SIMPLE-STRING) is a valid type specifier for sequence
+ creators.
+ ** *PRINT-LEVEL* handling for slotless structures is pedantically
+ correct.
+ ** PPRINT-INDENT accepts a request for an indentation of any REAL.
+ ** PPRINT-TAB (and the FORMAT ~T directive) now indent by the
+ correct amounts.
+ ** The justification version of the FORMAT ~< directive treats
+ non-zero minpad parameter correctly.

changes in sbcl-0.8.15 relative to sbcl-0.8.14:
* incompatible change: SB-INT:*BEFORE-SAVE-INITIALIZATIONS* and
SB-INT:*AFTER-SAVE-INITIALIZATIONS* have been renamed
- SB-EXT:*SAVE-HOOKS* and SB-EXT:*INIT-HOOKS*, and are now
- part of the supported interface.
+ SB-EXT:*SAVE-HOOKS* and SB-EXT:*INIT-HOOKS*, and are now part of
+ the supported interface.
+ * new feature: Single-stepping of code compiled with DEBUG 2 or
+ higher and (> DEBUG (MAX SPACE SPEED)) is now possible.
* new feature: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
- supported on x86/FreeBSD, x86/Linux, and sparc/SunOS. (based
- on Timothy Moore's work for CMUCL)

+ * bug fix: DEFTYPE lambda-list parsing now binds unsupplied keyword
+ parameters to * instead of NIL if no initform is supplied.
+ (reported by Johan Bockgaard)
+ * bug fix: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO lambda-list parsing now binds
+ correctly when FUNCALL appears as the car of the form. Note:
+ despite this FUNCALL forms are not currently subject to
+ compiler-macro expansion. (port of Raymond Toy's fix for the
+ same from CMUCL, reported by Johan Bockgaard)
* bug fix: FOR ... ON ... -clauses in LOOP now work on dotted lists
(thanks for Teemu Kalvas)
* bug fix: in FORMAT ~^ inside ~:{ now correctly steps to the next
- case instead of terminating the iteration (thanks for Julian Squires,
- Sean Champ and Raymond Toy)
- * bug fix: incorrect expansion of defgeneric that caused
- a style warning. (thanks for Zach Beane)

+ * bug fix: slot accessor effective method computation works properly
+ for classes with multiple non-standard applicable methods on
+ SB-MOP:SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS. (reported by Ralf Mattes)
+ * on x86 compiler supports stack allocation of results of LIST and
+ LIST*, bound to variables, declared DYNAMIC-EXTENT. (based on
+ CMUCL implementation by Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** FORMAT strings with both the ~<~:;~> form of the justification
+ directive and pretty-printing directives cause an error.
