+changes in sbcl-0.8.14 relative to sbcl-0.8.13:
+  * new feature: on platforms where "dladdr" is available foreign
+    function names now appear in backtraces.  (based on Helmut Eller's
+    work for CMUCL)
+  * bug fix: backtraces involving undefined functions or assembly
+    routines are more informative.  (thanks to Brian Downing)
+  * bug fix: mutually referent alien structures now work correctly.
+    (reported by Rick Taube)
+  * bug fix: structures defined by WITH-ALIEN can be referred to
+    within other definitions in the same WITH-ALIEN.
+  * bug fix: division operators (MOD, TRUNCATE and the like) with
+    constant zero divisors and integer dividends no longer generate
+    left shifts.

 changes in sbcl-0.8.13 relative to sbcl-0.8.12:
   * new feature: SB-PACKAGE-LOCKS. See the "Package Locks" section of
-    the manual for details; add :SB-PACKAGE-LOCKS in
-    customize-target-features.lisp to enable them.
+    the manual for details; for now, package locks can be disabled by
+    removing :SB-PACKAGE-LOCKS in customize-target-features.lisp, but
+    if no major problems are found then it is likely that they will be
+    compiled in unconditionally.
+  * major incompatible change: LOAD-FOREIGN and LOAD-1-FOREIGN are now
+    unsupported operators on all platforms.  To load a shared library
+    into SBCL, use SB-ALIEN:LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT.  To load a non-shared
+    object file, link it into a shared library outside of SBCL and
+    load it using SB-ALIEN:LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT.  (incidentally fixes
+    bug #79)
+  * bug workaround: ROOM T and the GC were not working together
+    reliably, because invariants expected by the SB!VM:INSTANCE-USAGE
+    reporting facility aren't preserved. That reporting has been
+    disabled, so now until and unless someone figures out how to make it
+    work reliably with the current GC, (ROOM T) is equivalent to (ROOM).
   * minor incompatible change: as threatened around sbcl-0.8.0, the
     home package of MOP-related symbols is now SB-MOP, not SB-PCL.
     The symbols are also exported from SB-PCL for backwards
     compatibility, but more so than before SB-PCL should be treated as
     an implementation-internal package.
+  * fasl format changed: SBCL 0.8.13 fasls are incompatible with those
+    of earlier versions
   * the SB-SPROF contrib now works on (most) non-x86 architectures.
     It is known as of this release not to work on the Alpha, however.
