 changes in sbcl-1.0.13 relative to sbcl-1.0.12:
+  * minor incompatible change: RUN-PROGRAM now uses execvp(3) to find
+    an executable in the search path, and does so in the child
+    process's PATH.  The function FIND-EXECUTABLE-IN-SEARCH-PATH has
+    been removed; it can be found in the CVS history, for somebody who
+    needs that search behavior (see the manual).
+  * minor incompatible change: compiler policy re. weakening type
+    checks has changed: now type checks are weakened on if SAFETY < 2
+    and SAFETY < SPEED.
+  * SB-EXT:NATIVE-NAMESTRING takes a new keyword AS-FILE, forcing
+    unparsing of directory pathnames as files. Analogously,
+    SB-EXT:PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING takes an AS-DIRECTORY, forcing a
+    filename to parse into a directory pathname.
+  * enhancement: implicit generic function creation now signals a
+    specific style-warning IMPLICIT-GENERIC-FUNCTION-WARNING, which
+    users can bind handlers for and muffle around calls to LOAD.
+  * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM allows unicode arguments and environments
+    to be used (using the default stream external format), and allows
+    non-simple strings to be used. (thanks to Harald Hanche-Olsen)
+  * optimization: COPY-SEQ, FILL, and SUBSEQ are 30-80% faster for
+    strings and vectors whose element-type or simplicity is not fully
+    known at compile-time.
+  * optimization: STRING-TRIM and related functions no longer allocate
+    a new string when no trimming needs to be performed. These functions
+    are also faster than before when the input string has been declared
+    as a simple-string.
+  * optimization: READ-SEQUENCE on simple-strings is up to 80% faster.
+  * optimization: READ-LINE is significantly faster for files containing
+    long lines.
+  * optimization: non-open coded uses of character comparison operators
+    (e.g. char=) no longer cons when called with more than one parameter
+    on platforms supporting dynamic-extent allocation.
+  * bug fix: READ-SEQUENCE on composite stream wrapping a Gray stream
+    with STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) signalled an error.
+  * bug fix: COPY-SEQ on lists did not signal a type-error on improper
+    lists in safe code.
+  * bug fix: some sequence functions elided bounds checking when
+    SPEED > SAFETY.
   * bug fix: too liberal weakening of union-type checks when SPEED >
     SAFETY.
   * bug fix: more bogus fixnum declarations in ROOM implementation
