** GETF and GET-PROPERTIES throw a TYPE-ERROR, not a SIMPLE-ERROR,
on malformed property lists;
+changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.7.14
+ * the old distinction between CL:CLASS objects and SB-PCL:CLASS
+ objects has been removed. The return value from CL:FIND-CLASS is
+ now a CLOS class, and likewise that of CL:CLASS-OF;
+ CL:BUILT-IN-CLASS, CL:STRUCTURE-CLASS and CL:STANDARD-CLASS name
+ CLOS classes.
+ * an interface to the MetaObject Protocol, as described in Kiczales,
+ des Rivieres and Bobrow's "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol",
+ MIT Press, 1991, is available from the SB-MOP package.
+ * incompatible change: the SB-PCL package should now be considered a
+ private implementation detail, and no longer a semi-private MOP
+ interface.
+ * known functions, which cannot be open coded by backend, are
+ considered to be able to check types of their arguments.
+ (reported by Nathan J. Froyd)
+ * fixed a bug in computing method discriminating functions: it is
+ now possible to define methods specialized on classes which have
+ forward-referenced superclasses. (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+ * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+ ** COPY-ALIST now signals an error if its argument is a dotted
+ list;
+
planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
* (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe later, it might impact TRACE. They both
