+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
definitions no longer cause an error in PCL internals.
+ * fixed bug #392: plugged a hole in the obsolete-instance protocol.
* bug fix: FILE-STRING-LENGTH is now external-format sensitive,
returning the number of octets which would be written to the
file-stream. (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+ * bug fix: the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contrib passes external-format
+ arguments to the internal stream functions. (thanks to David
+ Lichteblau)
+ * bug fix: stack exhaustion is now handled on the x86/SunOS
+ platform. (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
+ * bug fix: more accurate ROOM results on GENCGC platforms
* optimization: improved type inference for arithmetic-for
index variables in LOOP
* optimization: faster floating-point SQRT on x86-64
