+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.

   * 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.

   * 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.
