+changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
+  * bug fix: interrupts are disabled until startup is complete; no
+    more sigsegvs when receiving a signal to soon
+  * optimization: Faster 32-bit SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE on non-x86/ppc
+    platforms
+  * threads
+    ** bug fix: parent thread now can be gc'ed even with a live
+       child thread
+    ** bug fix: binding a special with PROGV to no value is not
+       the same as that symbol not having been bound (thanks to
+       Hannu Koivisto)
+    ** bug fix: binding specials is thread safe (thanks to
+       Hannu Koivisto)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION should take a method class object for
+       the :method-class keyword argument.

 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
