 changes in sbcl-0.7.5 relative to sbcl-0.7.4:
-  * bug 140 fixed: redefinition of classes with different supertypes
-    is now reflected in the type hierarchy. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
-  * bug 158 fixed: the compiler can now deal with integer loop
+  * SBCL now builds with OpenMCL (version 0.12) as the
+    cross-compilation host; also, more progress has been made toward
+    bootstrapping under CLISP.
+  * SBCL now runs on the Tru64 (aka OSF/1) operating system on the
+    Alpha architecture.
+  * bug 158 fixed: The compiler can now deal with integer loop
     increments different from 1; fixing this turned out also to fix
     bug 164.
   * bug 169 fixed: no more bogus warnings about using lexical bindings
-    despite the presence of perfectly good SPECIAL declarations. (thanks

+  * bug 175 fixed: CHANGE-CLASS is now more ANSI-conforming,
     accepting initargs. (thanks to Espen Johnsen and Pierre Mai)
+  * bug 179 fixed: DIRECTORY can now deal with filenames with pattern
+    characters in them.
+  * bug 180 fixed: Method combination specifications no longer ignore
+    the :MOST-SPECIFIC-LAST option. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
   * bug fix: Structure type predicate functions now check their argument
     count as they should.

     correctly. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
   * minor incompatible change: The --noprogrammer option is deprecated
-    in favor of the new name --disable-debugger option, which takes
-    effect at a slightly different time at startup (so that e.g.
-    handling of errors in --sysinit and --userinit files will be affected

+changes in sbcl-0.7.6 relative to sbcl-0.7.5:
