+changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8:
+  * new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating
+    system has been added.  (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+  * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL
+  * fixed segfaults on x86 FreeBSD 7-current (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)

 changes in sbcl-0.9.8 relative to sbcl-0.9.7:
+  * minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
+    GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are generic functions once more (reverting
+    the change in the 0.9.7 release).  (SETF CLASS-NAME) is specified
+    by ANSI as a generic function, and for consistency (SETF
+    GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) is treated likewise.
+  * fixed bug #233.b: make constraint propagation notice when a variable
+    value is changed after it is referenced but before it is used
+  * fixed bug #296: no more arbitrary behaviour from filenames with
+    odd characters as --load arguments.  (reported by Adam Warner)
   * fixed bug #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
     expected.  (reported by Tim Daly Jr)
   * fixed bug #391: complicated :TYPE intersections in slot
