+changes in sbcl-0.8.19 relative to sbcl-0.8.18:
+ * new port: SBCL now works in native 64-bit mode on x86-64/Linux
+ platform. The port supports 61-bit fixnums, large memory spaces
+ and reloading shared object files.
+ * enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
+ supported on ppc/Darwin in addition to the previously supported
+ platforms.
+ * bug fix: invalid :DEFAULT-INITARGS are detected in compiled calls
+ to MAKE-INSTANCE.
+ * bug fix: defaulted initargs are passed to INITIALIZE-INSTANCE and
+ SHARED-INITIALIZE methods from compiled calls to MAKE-INSTANCE.
+ * bug fix: COERCE to (COMPLEX FLOAT) of a complex number no longer
+ produces an error. (thanks to Vincent Arkesteijn)
+ * bug fix: NAMESTRING on pathnames with :WILD components in their
+ directories works correctly. (thanks to Artem V. Andreev)
+ * fixed bug 125: compiler preserves identity of closures. (reported
+ by Gabe Garza)
+ * build fix: fixed the dependence on *LOAD-PATHNAME* and
+ *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* being absolute pathnames.
+ * on x86 compiler partially supports stack allocation of dynamic-extent
+ closures.
+ * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
+ ** encoding and decoding errors are now much more robustly
+ handled; it should now be possible to recover even from invalid
+ input or output to the terminal. (thanks to Teemu Kalvas)
+ ** provided a first cut at implementing STRING-TO-OCTETS and
+ OCTETS-TO-STRING. (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+ ** altered the SB-MD5 contributed module slightly, changing the
+ interface just enough for it to be supportable for builds where
+ lisp characters are not eight bits.
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** the FORMATTER-generated functions for ~V[ conditionals require
+ the correct number of arguments.

changes in sbcl-0.8.18 relative to sbcl-0.8.17:
* new feature: reloading changed shared object files with
LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT now causes the new definitions to take effect.
