+changes in sbcl-0.9.4 relative to sbcl-0.9.3:
+  * new port: the Solaris operating system on x86 processors is now
+    mostly supported, though some rough edges in the environment
+    remain.  (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
+  * enhancement: SBCL on MIPS platforms now has a much larger dynamic
+    space for its heap.  (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * optimization: SBCL on MIPS platforms now supports dynamic-extent
+    closures.  (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * minor incompatible change: eof selects abort in the debugger.
+  * minor incompatible change: *INVOKE-DEBUGGER-HOOK* is run before
+    *DEBUGGER-HOOK* => *DEBUGGER-HOOK* is not run when the debugger
+    is disabled.
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA is
+    deprecated, and will go away in a future revision of SBCL.
+  * minor incompatible change: GC-ON and GC-OFF are no longer
+    implemented with a counter, it does not matter how many times gc
+    is switched on or off
+  * bug fix: discriminating functions for generic function classes
+    with non-standard methods for COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS no longer
+    make invalid assumptions about method precedence order.  (reported
+    by Bruno Haible)
+  * bug fix: TRUNCATE now correctly signals division by zero on MIPS
+    platforms.  (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * bug fix: degree sign (<U00B0>) could not be encoded in KOI8-R.
+  * bug fix: correct pathname printing with printer escaping is on.
+    (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * bug fix: complex VOP definitions in "user-space" no longer trigger
+    package locks.  (reported by Zach Beane)
+  * fixed bug 343: SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA is no longer necessary
+    for funcallable-instance functions, and is no different from
+    regular LAMBDA.
+  * bug fix: PARSE-INTEGER no longer depends on the whitespaceness of
+    characters in the current readtable.  (reported by Nicholas Neuss)
+  * bug fix: SUBTYPEP on various CONS types returns more a more
+    accurate acknowledgment of its certainty.
+  * optimizations: REMOVE-DUPLICATES now runs in linear time on
+    lists in some cases.  This partially fixes bug 384.
+  * flush all standard streams before prompting in the REPL and the
+    debugger.
+  * bug fix: signal handling and triggering gc do not conflict
+    directly anymore, in particular a high frequency sb-sprof does
+    not prevent gc from running
+  * bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERAL-TIME now uses a more reasonable
+    approximation for timezone and DST information between the
+    universal time epoch and the smallest negative 32-bit time_t.
+  * bug fix: ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME no longer errors when passed the
+    year 1899 so long as the encoded time is non-negative.
+  * bug fix: on the x86 platform, SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE returns
+    the correct answer for non-constant rotate amounts when performing
+    an inline 32-bit rotation.
+  * threads
+    ** bug fix: RELEASE-FOREGROUND doesn't choke on session lock if
+       there is only one thread in the session
+    ** bug fix: memory leak for streams created in one thread and
+       written to in another
+    ** bug fix: lockup when compiled with gcc4
+    ** bug fix: race that allows the gc to be triggered when gc is
+       inhibited
+    ** bug fix: one less memory fault in INTERRUPT-THREAD, again
+    ** bug fix: gc and INTERRUPT-THREAD don't hang when the RT signal
+       queue is full
+    ** bug fix: finished threads are gc'ed properly
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** CALL-NEXT-METHOD signals an error (in safe code) when the call
+       has arguments with a different set of applicable methods from
+       the orignal arguments.
+    ** The type error thrown by MAP now has a correct expected-type
+       cell.
+    ** DISASSEMBLE now throws a TYPE-ERROR when its argument does not
+       name a compiled function.
+    ** Three MISC tests where a large bignum was improperly coerced to
+       a float that couldn't represent that bignum during type
+       derivation were fixed.
+    ** SUBTYPEP can now handle types involving the negation of a
+       list-form FUNCTION type.
+    ** SUBTYPEP also now handles certain COMPLEX type specifiers such
+       as (COMPLEX (AND RATIO (NOT FIXNUM))).
+    ** READ-BYTE and WRITE-BYTE no longer take stream designators.
+
