+changes in sbcl-0.8.17 relative to sbcl-0.8.16:
+  * bug fix: READ, READ-PRESERVING-WHITESPACE, READ-DELIMITED-LIST,
+    and READ-FROM-STRING all now return a primary value of NIL if
+    *READ-SUPPRESS* is true. (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+  * bug fix: Default value of EOF-ERROR-P in READ-FROM-STRING is true.
+    (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+  * bug fix: ERROR now signals a TYPE-ERROR if the arguments to ERROR
+    do not designate a condition. (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)

+changes in sbcl-0.8.16 relative to sbcl-0.8.15:
+  * enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
+    supported on x86/NetBSD and sparc/Linux in addition to the previously
+    supported platforms.
+  * bug fix: on some platforms repeated installations caused multiple
+    copies of HTML documentation to be installed -- should not happen
+    any more. (reported by Stefan Scholl)
+  * bug fix: parsing self-recursive alien record types multiple times
+    no longer causes infinite recursion. (reported by Thomas F. Burdick,
+    original patch by Helmut Eller for CMUCL)
+  * bug fix: stack-exhaustion detection works now on NetBSD as well.
+    (thanks to Richard Kreuter)
+  * bug fix: defining classes whose accessors are methods on existing
+    generic functions in other (locked) packages no longer signals
+    bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)
+  * bug fix: special variables as DEFMETHOD parameters no longer have
+    associated bogus type declarations. (reported by David Wragg and
+    Bruno Haible)
+  * bug fix: read-write consistency on streams of element-type
+    (SIGNED-BYTE N) for N > 32.  (reported by Bruno Haible for CMUCL)
+  * bug fix: redefiniton of the only method of a generic function with
+    no DEFGENERIC no longer emits a full WARNING.  In addition,
+    redefinition of generic functions with no DEFGENERIC to an
+    incompatible lambda list now signals an error.  (thanks to Zach
+    Beane)
+  * bug fix: DEFGENERIC now works even when there's a function of the
+    same name in an enclosing lexical environment.  (thanks to Zach
+    Beane)
+  * fixed compiler failure, caused by instrumenting code during
+    IR1-optimization.  (Debian bug report #273606 by Gabor Melis)
+  * optimization: added loop analysis and improved register allocation
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** POSITION on displaced vectors with non-zero displacement
+       returns the right answer.
+    ** (SIMPLE-STRING) is a valid type specifier for sequence
+       creators.
+    ** *PRINT-LEVEL* handling for slotless structures is pedantically
+       correct.
+    ** PPRINT-INDENT accepts a request for an indentation of any REAL.
+    ** PPRINT-TAB (and the FORMAT ~T directive) now indent by the
+       correct amounts.
+    ** The justification version of the FORMAT ~< directive treats
+       non-zero minpad parameter correctly.
