     ** intersection of CONS types now canonicalizes properly, fixing
        inconsistencies in SUBTYPEP.
 
+changes in sbcl-0.8.6 relative to sbcl-0.8.5:
+  * fixed a bootstrapping bug: the build process no longer assumes
+    that the various BOOLE-related constants have the same value in
+    host and target lisps.  (noted by Paul Dietz' test suite on an
+    SBCL binary built from CLISP)
+  * the system can now be dynamically linked on the MIPS platform,
+    which enables dynamic loading of foreign code from Lisp.  (thanks
+    to Ralf Baechle for discussions on the MIPS ABI)
+  * fixed a compiler bug: MV-LET convertion did not check references
+    to the "max args" entry point.  (reported by Brian Downing)
+  * tweaked disassembly notes to be less confident about proclaiming
+    some instruction as an LRA.  (thanks to Brian Downing)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** compiler failure in compiling LOGAND expressions including a
+       constant 0.
+    ** implementation of ASH-MOD32 on X86 did not work for the shift
+       greater than 32.
+    ** FLUSH-DEST did not mark blocks for type check regeneration.

 planned incompatible changes in 0.8.x:
   * (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
     down, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
