+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
+ * new feature: package local nicknames. See manual for details.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:MAP-DIRECTORY provides a powerful interface for
+ directory traversal: it is the backend used by SBCL for CL:DIRECTORY.
+ * enhancement: easier to use restarts for resolving name-conflicts
+ resulting from IMPORT, EXPORT, or USE-PACKAGE.
+ * enhancement: variant DEFPACKAGE forms now signal a full error with
+ restarts provided for resolving the situation. (lp#891351)
+ * enhancement: by setting SB-EXT:*ON-PACKAGE-VARIANCE* appropriately variant
+ DEFPACKAGE forms can now signal a full error with restarts provided for
+ resolving the situation. See manual for details. (lp#891351)
+ * enhancement: make-random-state now uses CryptGenRandom as a seed on Windows.
+ (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.) (lp#1102748)
+ * enhancement: backtrace improvements
+ ** secondary CLOS dispatch functions have better debug names (lp#503081)
+ ** easier to read method names in backtraces. See
+ SB-DEBUG:*METHOD-FRAME-STYLE*.
+ ** SB-DEBUG:PRINT-BACKTRACE and SB-DEBUG:LIST-BACKTRACE are available as
+ forwards-compatible replacements for SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE and
+ SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST.
+ ** SB-DEBUG:*SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS** has been deprecated, as the same
+ information is available in less intrusive form as frame annotations.
+ * bug fix: deleting a package removes it from implementation-package
+ lists of other packages.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.4 relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
+ * optimization: LOOP expressions using "of-type character" have slightly
+ more efficient expansions.
+ * bug fix: very long (or infinite) constant lists in DOLIST do not result
+ in very long compile times or heap exhaustion anymore. (lp#1095488)
+ * bug fix: `#3(1) is read as #(1 1 1), not as #(1). (lp#1095918)
+ * bug fix: adjust-array ignored :initial-element for simple-vectors.
+ (lp#1096359)
+ * bug fix: optimizations to MAKE-INSTANCE with literal list initargs no
+ longer cause infinite loops (on circular data) or violate eqlity
+ constraints. (lp#1099708)
+ * bug fix: FIRST was not being open coded. (regression from 1.1.0)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.3 relative to sbcl-1.1.2:
+ * enhancement: warnings about bad locale settings, LANG, LC_CTYPE, etc.
+ (lp#727625)
+ * enhancement: support for C-c to interrupt the foreground thread
+ on Windows. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+ * enhancement: STDCALL alien callbacks. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+ * enhancement: Safepoint builds on POSIX platforms can now optionally be
+ built without pseudo-atomic sequences and their run-time overhead.
+ * enhancement: Threads created outside of Lisp can enter Lisp through
+ alien callbacks and appear as Lisp threads for the duration of that
+ function invocation. On safepoint builds only.
+ * enhancement: Miscellaneous improvements to namestrings and underlying
+ calls to OS functions for file system access on Windows. (Thanks to
+ Anton Kovalenko.)
+ * enhancement: The MSI installer support for Windows now uses Windows
+ Installer XML at least version 3.5 and includes various usability
+ improvements. (Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.)
+ * enhancement: The sb-bsd-sockets contrib now supports non-blocking-mode
+ on Windows. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+ * enhancement: The Windows backend now supports the x86-64 platform.
+ (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+ * bug fix: fasls are now once again directly executable (on platforms
+ supporting shebang lines, with a suitably-installed sbcl).
+ * bug fix: make.sh --help no longer runs clean.sh. (lp#937001)
+ * bug fix: Fix CAS access to slots of direct instances of structure classes
+ in the presence of subclasses sharing the same conc-name.
+ * bug fix: Logical pathname namestrings on Windows have been changed to
+ be lower-case, to minimize differences between POSIX and Windows.
+
changes in sbcl-1.1.2 relative to sbcl-1.1.1:
* notice: System requirements for SBCL on Microsoft Windows: Windows NT 5.1
or newer (Windows XP, Server 2003) is required. Support for Windows 2000
