 changes in sbcl-0.9.2 relative to sbcl-0.9.1:
   * numerous signal handling fixes to increase stability
+  * Support for EUC-JP external format.  (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)
   * bug fix: interrupt-thread restores the eflags register on x86
   * minor incompatible change: we now correctly canonize default
     initargs, making them be a list of (INITARG INITFORM INITFUNCTION)

   * dynamic space size on PPC has been increased to 768Mb. (thanks to

+    (reported by Bruno Haible; patch from Gerd Moellmann)
   * bug fix: sbcl runtime can now be compiled with gcc4 (thanks to 
     Sascha Wilde)
   * bug fix: more cleanups to the floating point exception handling on
     x86-64 (thanks to James Knight)
+  * bug fix: the compiler does not try to constant fold calls of
+    COERCE and BIT-* functions when they return freshly constructed
+    objects. (reported by Nikodemus Siivola and Paul Dietz)
   * optimization: improved the MIPS versions of generic (in the
     generic sense) arithmetic routines.  (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * optimization: direct conversion of (unsigned-byte 32) to floats on
+    the PowerPC platform.
+  * optimization: structure instances with raw slots now use less
+    memory, and probably show better memory locality.  (thanks to
+    David Lichteblau)
+  * optimization: DYNAMIC-EXTENT declarations for lists and closures
+    are treated as requests for stack allocation on the x86-64 and
+    Alpha-32 platforms.
   * contrib improvement: it's harder to cause SOCKET-CLOSE to close()
     the wrong file descriptor; implementation of SOCKET-OPEN-P.
