+changes in sbcl-0.9.10 relative to sbcl-0.9.9:
+  * fixed bug #399: full call to DATA-VECTOR-REF in accesses to
+    certain complicated string types.  (reported by Gary King)
+  * fixed bug: STRING-TO-OCTETS and OCTETS-TO-STRING did not convert
+    character codes.  (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk and Ivan Boldyrev)
+
+changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8:
+  * new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating
+    system has been added.  (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+  * fixed several bugs in and robustified the PPC FFI (including
+    callbacks).  (thanks to Cyrus Harmon and Heiner Schwarte)
+  * bug fix: allow non-simple string symbol names (reported by Paul
+    Dietz)
+  * bug fix: interrupt handling on NetBSD (thanks to Richard M
+    Kreuter)
+  * bug fix: saving a core corrupted callbacks on x86/x86-64
+  * bug fix: closed a loophole in metacircularity detection and
+    grounding in the PCL implementation of CLOS.
+  * bug fix: TRUENAME on "/" no longer returns a relative pathname.
+    (reported by tomppa on #lisp)
+  * bug fix: clear the direction flag on Lisp -> C transitions, as 
+    required by the x86-64 ABI. Fixes mysterious GC crashes on SuSE.
+    (reported by Andrej Grozin and Hendrik Maryns)
+  * optimization: major improvements to GC efficiency on GENCGC platforms
+  * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL
+  * optimization: emit more efficient opcodes for some common 
+    immediate->register MOV instructions on x86-64.  (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+  * optimization: several other minor code-generation improvements on x86-64
+  * fixed segfaults on x86 FreeBSD 7-current.  (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
+
 changes in sbcl-0.9.8 relative to sbcl-0.9.7:
+  * minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
+    GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are generic functions once more (reverting
+    the change in the 0.9.7 release).  (SETF CLASS-NAME) is specified
+    by ANSI as a generic function, and for consistency (SETF
+    GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) is treated likewise.
+  * fixed bug #233.b: make constraint propagation notice when a variable
+    value is changed after it is referenced but before it is used
+  * fixed bug #296: no more arbitrary behaviour from filenames with
+    odd characters as --load arguments.  (reported by Adam Warner)
   * fixed bug #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
     expected.  (reported by Tim Daly Jr)
   * fixed bug #391: complicated :TYPE intersections in slot
     definitions no longer cause an error in PCL internals.
+  * fixed bug #392: plugged a hole in the obsolete-instance protocol.
   * bug fix: FILE-STRING-LENGTH is now external-format sensitive,
     returning the number of octets which would be written to the
     file-stream.  (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+  * bug fix: the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contrib passes external-format
+    arguments to the internal stream functions.  (thanks to David
+    Lichteblau)
+  * bug fix: stack exhaustion is now handled on the x86/SunOS
+    platform.  (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
+  * bug fix: more accurate ROOM results on GENCGC platforms
   * optimization: improved type inference for arithmetic-for
     index variables in LOOP
+  * optimization: faster floating-point SQRT on x86-64
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** DOCUMENTATION returns NIL instead of "" for method combinations
+       that don't have a docstring
 
 changes in sbcl-0.9.7 relative to sbcl-0.9.6:
