 changes in sbcl-0.8.17 relative to sbcl-0.8.16:
-  * the system now has rudimentary external-format support; the
-    primary user-visible change at this time is that characters with
-    the high bit set (such as lower-case-e-acute) will print correctly
-    to a terminal in a UTF-8 environment.
+  * new feature: a build-time option (controlled by the :SB-UNICODE
+    keyword feature, enabled by default) for building the system with
+    support for the entire 21-bit character space defined by the
+    Unicode consortium.
+  * new feature: the system now has rudimentary external-format
+    support; the primary user-visible change at this time is that
+    characters with the high bit set (such as lower-case-e-acute) will
+    print correctly to a terminal in a UTF-8 environment.
   * minor incompatible change: BASE-CHAR no longer names a class;
     however, CHARACTER continues to do so, as required by ANSI.
   * minor incompatible change: SB-DEBUG:*DEBUG-PRINT-FOO* variables
