 changes in sbcl-0.8.12 relative to sbcl-0.8.11:
+  * minor incompatible change: the system no longer provides
+    optimization hints (conditions which are TYPEP
+    SB-EXT:COMPILER-NOTE) for conforming code in default compilation
+    mode; these hints are emitted when higher SPEED optimization is
+    requested, as before.
+  * the behaviour of the standard function ED is now customizeable by
+    third parties through a hook variable: see ED's documentation
+    string for information on the protocol.
+  * the compiler no longer emits efficiency notes for (FUNCALL X)
+    when the type of X is uncertain under default optimization
+    settings.
+  * fixed bug 276: mutating a binding of a specialized parameter to a
+    method to something that is not TYPEP the specializer is now
+    possible.
+  * fixed bugs 45d and 118: DOUBLE-FLOAT[-NEGATIVE]-EPSILON now
+    exhibit the required behaviour on the x86 platform.  (thanks to
+    Peter van Eynde, Eric Marsden and Bruno Haible)
   * fixed bug 335: ATANH now computes the inverse hyperbolic tangent
     even for difficult arguments.  (reported by Peter Graves)
+  * fixed bug 141a: the backquote printer now descends quoted
+    structure.
+  * fixed another bug in backquote printing: no more destructive
+    modification of the form's list structure.  (reported by Brian
+    Downing)
+  * fixed bug in INTERRUPT-THREAD: pin the function, so that it cannot
+    move between its address being taken and the call to
+    interrupt_thread, fixing a crashing race condition.
+  * the SB-POSIX contrib implementation has been adjusted so that it
+    no longer exhibits ridiculously poor performance when constructing
+    instances corresponding to C structs.
