     As a consequence of this change, the :IF-EXISTS :NEW-VERSION
     option to OPEN now signals an error if the file being opened
     exists; this may have an impact on existing code.
+  * fixed bug 190: RUN-PROGRAM should now work properly, respecting
+    signals received, on the PowerPC platforms (both Linux and
+    Darwin).  (thanks to Pierre Mai for pointing out the location of
+    the error)
+  * several fixes on OS X: The system now builds and runs cleanly on
+    Panther (10.3), and works around sigreturn bug (no more SIGFPEs).
+    (thanks to Brian Mastenbrook)
   * bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now accepts timezone arguments with
     second-resolution: integer multiples of 1/3600 between -24 and 24.

+changes in sbcl-0.8.9 relative to sbcl-0.8.8:
+  * deprecation of old extension: *DEBUG-PRINT-LEVEL* and
+    *DEBUG-PRINT-LENGTH* are now deprecated in favor of the new, more
+    general SB-DEBUG:*DEBUG-PRINT-VARIABLE-ALIST* mechanism. (This
+    should matter to you only if you rebind the printer control
+    variables and then find you want different bindings in the 
+    debugger than in the ordinary execution of your program.)
+  * The runtime build system has been tweaked to support building
+    (on SPARC/SunOS) using a C compiler which invokes Sun's own
+    assembler and linker.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * Unbound, undefined, undeclared variables now trigger full
+    WARNINGs, not just STYLE-WARNINGs, on the assumption that this is
+    more often programmer error than deliberate exploitation of undefined
+    behaviour.
+  * optimization: implemented multiplication as a modular
+    (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) operation on the PPC backend.
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** ADJUST-ARRAY now copies the datum in a zero rank array if
+       required.
+    ** ADJUST-ARRAY no longer adjusts non-adjustable arrays.
+    ** MAKE-STRING-INPUT-STREAM accepts NIL as a value for :END.
+    ** MAKE-STRING-INPUT-STREAM functions correctly for strings with
+       element-type NIL.
+    ** CLEAR-INPUT accepts NIL and T for its (optional) stream
+       argument.
+    ** Ratios can now be printed correctly with *PRINT-BASE* bound to
+       2, 8 or 16.
+    ** ECHO-STREAMs no longer attempt to echo the end of file value to
+       their output stream on EOF from read.
+    ** CONCATENATED-STREAM-STREAMS discards constituent streams which
+       have been read to end-of-file.
+    ** CLOSE works as expected on the null CONCATENATED-STREAM, and on
+       STRING-STREAMS.
+    ** Printing symbols with *PRINT-CASE* :CAPITALIZE respects the
+       description of determination of which consecutive characters
+       constitute a word.
+    ** Printing the "Space" character with escaping on now yields "#\\ ", 
+       rather than "#\\Space", as mandated by ANSI 22.1.3.2.
