 changes in sbcl-0.7.7 relative to sbcl-0.7.6:
+  * An alpha-quality port to the parisc architecture running Linux,
+    based on the old CMUCL backend has been made.  This, even more so
+    than the other backends, should be considered still a work in
+    progress; known problems include that the Linux kernel in 64-bit
+    mode does not propagate the correct sigcontext structure to
+    userspace, and consequently SBCL on a parisc64 kernel will not
+    work yet.
   * fixed bug 189: The compiler now respects NOTINLINE declarations for
     functions declared in FLET and LABELS. (I.e. "LET conversion" is
     suppressed.) Also now that the compiler is looking at declarations

     LOGAND and stack-allocated arguments. (thanks to Raymond Toy)
   * Bug fix: We no longer segfault on passing a non-FILE-STREAM stream
     to a functions expecting a PATHNAME-DESIGNATOR.
+  * Bug fix: DEFGENERIC now enforces the ANSI restrictions on its
+    lambda lists. (thanks to Alexey Dejneka)
+  * Bug fix: changed encoding of PCL's internal MAKE-INSTANCE
+    functions so that EXPORTing the name of the class doesn't cause
+    MAKE-INSTANCE functions from earlier DEFCLASSes to get lost (thanks
+    to Antonio Martinez for reporting this)
+  * Bug 192 fixed: The internal primitive DATA-VECTOR-REF can now be
+    constant-folded without failing an assertion. (thanks to Einar
+    Floystad Dorum for reporting this)
+  * Bugs 123 and 165 fixed: array specializations on as-yet-undefined
+    types are now dealt with more correctly by the compiler.
   * Minor incompatible change: COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME now merges its
     OUTPUT-FILE argument with its INPUT-FILE argument, resulting in
     behaviour analogous to RENAME-FILE.  This puts its behaviour more
     in line with ANSI's wording on COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME. (thanks to
     Marco Antinotti)
+  * The fasl file version number has changed again. (because of the
+    bug fix involving the names of PCL MAKE-INSTANCE functions)
