+changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
+ * Enhancements for sbcl running on the Windows operating system:
+ ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
+ locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
+ directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+ ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
+ ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
+ * new feature: command line options --no-sysinit, --no-userinit to
+ inhibit loading the corresponding init files
+ * bug fix: LISTEN sometimes returned T even in cases where no data was
+ immediately available from the stream
+ * fixed bug: types of the last two arguments to SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR
+ were reversed. (reported by Levente Mészáros)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
+ the method is not one of the generic functions' methods.
+ ** objects declared as MEMBER types can be admissible arguments to
+ structure accessors.
+ ** printing characters should simply be printed by the FORMAT ~:C
+ directive.

changes in sbcl-0.9.11 relative to sbcl-0.9.10:
* new platform: experimental support for SBCL x86/Darwin, including
MacOS X 10.4.5 on Intel.
to be friendlier to the prediction heuristics implemented,
particularly with reference to CALL and RET pairing. (thanks to
Alastair Bridgewater)
+ * optimization: on x86, the code for access to thread-local symbol
+ values and binding/unbinding of thread-local symbols is smaller.
+ (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
* enhancement: CONSTANTP is now able to determine constantness of
more complex forms, including calls to constant-foldable standardized
functions and some special forms beyond QUOTE.
