@@ -1911,8 +1911,43 @@ changes in sbcl-0.8.2 relative to sbcl-0.8.1:
   * repeated evaluation of the same DEFSTRUCT, a slot of which is
     declared to have a functional type, does not cause an error
     anymore.
+  * fixed bug: sometimes MAKE-INSTANCE did not work with classes with
+    many :DEFAULT-INITARGS. (reported by Istvan Marko)
+  * fixed bug: if last continuation of a deleted block has a
+    destination, this destination should be deleted too. (reported by
+    ohler on #lisp)
+  * fixed a bug in the bootstrap process: the host compiler's values
+    of ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT and ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT no longer leak
+    into the newly-built SBCL. (reported by Eric Marsden on #lisp,
+    test case from Patrik Nordebo)
+  * improved the ability of the disassembler on the PPC platform to
+    provide helpful disassembly notes.
+  * SB-MOP:CLASS-PROTOTYPE on built-in-classes returns an instance of
+    the class in more cases than previously.
+  * bug fix: FILE-POSITION now understands :START and :END for
+    STRING-INPUT-STREAMs.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * bug fix: (SIGNED-BYTE 8) streams no longer return (UNSIGNED-BYTE
+    8) data.  (thanks to David Lichteblau)
+  * bug fix: it is possible to add a method to a generic function
+    without lambda list.
+  * bug fix: reader failed to signal END-OF-FILE inside an
+    object representation. (reported by Nikodemus Siivola)
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** LAST and [N]BUTLAST should accept a bignum.
+    ** condition slot accessors are methods.
+    ** (VECTOR NIL) is a subtype of STRING.

+changes in sbcl-0.8.3 relative to sbcl-0.8.2:
+  * bug fix: WITH-OUTPUT-TO-STRING (and MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM) now
+    accept and act upon their :ELEMENT-TYPE keyword argument.
+    (reported by Edi Weitz)
+  * bug fix: FILE-POSITION now accepts position designators up to
+    ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT or the extreme of the off_t range, whichever
+    is the greater.  (thanks to Patrik Nordebo)
+  * bug fix: MAKE-ARRAY ignored :INITIAL-CONTENTS NIL. (reported by
+    Kalle Olavi Niemitalo)
+  * bug fix: the CLASS-PROTOTYPE of the GENERIC-FUNCTION class is now
+    printable.  (reported by Eric Marsden)
