+changes in sbcl-0.6.10 relative to sbcl-0.6.9:
+
+* A patch from Martin Atzmueller seems to have solved the SIGINT
+  problem, and as far as we know, signal-handling now works cleanly.
+  (If you find any new bugs, please report them!)
+* The system no longer defaults Lisp source file names to types
+  ".l", ".cl", or ".lsp", but only to ".lisp". 
+* The compiler no longer uses special default file extensions for
+  byte-compiled code. (The ANSI definition of COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME
+  seems to expect a single default extension for all compiled code,
+  and there's no compelling reason to try to stretch the standard
+  to allow two different extensions.) Instead, byte-compiled files
+  default to the same extension as native-compiled files.
+* Fasl file format version numbers have increased again, because
+  a rearrangement of internal implementation packages made some 
+  dumped symbols in old fasl files unreadable in new cores.
+* DECLARE/DECLAIM/PROCLAIM logic is more nearly ANSI in general, with
+  many fewer weird special cases.
+* Bug #17 (differing COMPILE-FILE behavior between logical and 
+  physical pathnames) has been fixed, and some related misbehavior too,
+  thanks to a patch from Martin Atzmueller.
+* Bug #30 (reader problems) is gone, thanks to a CMU CL patch
+  by Tim Moore, ported to SBCL by Martin Atzmueller.
+* Martin Atzmueller fixed several filesystem-related problems,
+  including bug #36, in part by porting CMU CL patches, which were
+  written in part by Paul Werkowski.
+* More compiler warnings in src/runtime/ are gone, thanks to 
+  more patches from Martin Atzmueller.
+* Martin Atzmueller pointed out that bug 37 was fixed by his patches
+  some time ago.
+
+planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
+* The debugger prompt sequence now goes "5]", "5[2]", "5[3]", etc.
+  as you get deeper into recursive calls to the debugger command loop,
+  instead of the old "5]", "5]]", "5]]]" sequence. (I was motivated
+  to do this when ILISP and SBCL got into arguments which left me
+  deeply nested in the debugger.)
+* When the profiling interface settles down, it might impact TRACE.
+  They both encapsulate functions, and it's not clear yet how
+  e.g. UNPROFILE will interact with TRACE and UNTRACE. (This shouldn't
+  matter, though, unless you are using profiling.)
