+changes in sbcl-0.9.4 relative to sbcl-0.9.3:
+  * enhancement: SBCL on MIPS platforms now has a much larger dynamic
+    space for its heap.  (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
+    is disabled.
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA is
+    deprecated, and will go away in a future revision of SBCL.
+  * bug fix: discriminating functions for generic function classes
+    with non-standard methods for COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS no longer
+    make invalid assumptions about method precedence order.  (reported
+    by Bruno Haible)
+  * bug fix: degree sign (<U00B0>) could not be encoded in KOI8-R.
+  * bug fix: correct pathname printing with printer escaping is on.
+    (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * bug fix: complex VOP definitions in "user-space" no longer trigger
+    package locks.  (reported by Zach Beane)
+  * fixed bug 343: SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA is no longer necessary
+    for funcallable-instance functions, and is no different from
+    regular LAMBDA.
+  * optimizations: REMOVE-DUPLICATES now runs in linear time on
+    lists in some cases.  This partially fixes bug 384.
+  * flush all standard streams before prompting in the REPL and the
+    debugger.
+  * threads
+    ** bug fix: RELEASE-FOREGROUND doesn't choke on session lock if
+       there is only one thread in the session
+    ** bug fix: memory leak for streams created in one thread and
+       written to in another
+
 changes in sbcl-0.9.3 relative to sbcl-0.9.2:
   * New feature: Experimental support for bivalent streams: streams
     opened with :element-type :default now allow character and binary

   * Support for the koi8-r external format.  (thanks to Ivan Boldyrev)
   * Bug fix: OPEN no longer fails when *PRINT-READABLY* is T. (thanks
     to Zach Beane)
+  * bug fix: no more highly sporadic "couldn't check whether ~S is
+    readable" when reading a stream and an interrupt hits in the middle
+    of a select system call
+  * compiler better recognizes complex arrays (reported by Eduardo
+    Muñoz)
+  * bug fix: out-of-line SB-SYS:FOREIGN-SYMBOL-ADDRESS did not work
+    for variables on SBCL built with linkage-tables. (reported by Luis
+    Oliveira)
+  * various error reporting improvements.
+  * optimizations: LOGNOR on fixnums is improved in the MIPS backend.
+    (Thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * bug fix: nested reader invokations work correctly
+  * bug fix: it is possible to have simultaneous references to foreign
+    code and foreign data with the same name.
   * threads
+    ** added x86-64 support
     ** incompatible change: the threading api now works with thread
        objects instead of thread ids
     ** bug fix: threads are protected from signals and interruption when
        starting up or going down
     ** bug fix: a race where an exiting thread could lose its stack to gc
+    ** bug fix: don't halt on infinite error in threads if possible
     ** fixed numerous gc deadlocks introduced in the pthread merge
+    ** bug fix: fixed thread safety issues in read and print
+    ** bug fix: debugger doesn't hang on session lock if interrupted at
+       an inappropriate moment
+    ** bug fix: run-program is now thread safe(r)
+    ** bug fix: inner with-recursive-lock no longer releases the mutex
+  * fixed a bug in (DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 0) (reported by Paul Dietz)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** TYPE-ERRORs from signalled by COERCE now have DATUM and
+       EXPECTED-TYPE slots filled.
+    ** MULTIPLE-VALUE-SETQ always returns the primary value of the
+       values form.
+    ** MAKE-CONDITION accepts classes as type-designators.
+    ** COMPILE may never return NIL.
+    ** ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now guards against times out of Unix's
+       range before calling Unix time functions
