 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)
+  * 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
+    to David Lichteblau)
+  * 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.
+  * bug fix: Classes with :METACLASS STRUCTURE-CLASS now print
+    correctly. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
+  * minor incompatible change: The --noprogrammer option is deprecated
+    in favor of the new --disable-debugger option, which is very similar.
+    (The major difference is that it takes effect at a slightly different
+    time at startup, causing handling of errors in --sysinit and
+    --userinit files will be affected differently.) The
+    SB-EXT:DISABLE-DEBUGGER and SB-EXT:ENABLE-DEBUGGER functions have
+    been added to allow this functionality to be controlled from ordinary
+    Lisp code. (ENABLE-DEBUGGER should help people like the Debian
+    maintainers, who might want to run non-interactive scripts to
+    build SBCL cores which will later be used interactively.)
   * minor incompatible change: The LOAD function no longer, when given
-    a wild pathname to load, loads all files matching that pathname;
-    instead, an error of type FILE-ERROR is signalled.

+changes in sbcl-0.7.6 relative to sbcl-0.7.5:
+  * Array initialization with :INITIAL-ELEMENT is now much faster for
+    cases when the compiler cannot open code the array creation, but
+    does know what the UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE will be.
+  * bug fix: LOAD :IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST NIL now works when file type is
+    specified. (This was at the root of some bad interactions between
+    SBCL and ILISP: thanks to Gregory Wright for diagnosing this and
+    reporting the bug.)
+  * bug fix: Floating point exceptions are treated much more
+    consistently on the x86/Linux and PPC/Linux platforms.
+  * Support for the Solaris 9 operating environment has been included
+    (thanks to Daniel Merritt)
 
 planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
