+changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
+  * new feature: command line options --no-sysinit, --no-userinit to
+    inhibit loading the corresponding init files
+  * bug fix: LISTEN sometimes returned T even in cases where no data was
+    immediately available from the stream
+  * fixed bug: types of the last two arguments to SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR
+    were reversed. (reported by Levente Mészáros)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
+       the method is not one of the generic functions' methods.
+    ** objects declared as MEMBER types can be admissible arguments to 
+       structure accessors.
+    ** printing characters should simply be printed by the FORMAT ~:C
+       directive.

 changes in sbcl-0.9.11 relative to sbcl-0.9.10:
   * new platform: experimental support for SBCL x86/Darwin, including
     MacOS X 10.4.5 on Intel.
   * new feature: Unicode character names are now known to the system
     (through CHAR-NAME and NAME-CHAR).
+  * new feature: the filesystem location of SBCL's core file is
+    exposed to lisp through the variable SB-EXT:*CORE-PATHNAME*.
   * minor incompatible change: the contrib modules SB-POSIX and
     SB-BSD-SOCKETS no longer depend on stub C libraries; the intent of
     this change is to make it easier to distribute

     to be friendlier to the prediction heuristics implemented,
     particularly with reference to CALL and RET pairing.  (thanks to
     Alastair Bridgewater)
+  * optimization: on x86, the code for access to thread-local symbol
+    values and binding/unbinding of thread-local symbols is smaller.
+    (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
   * enhancement: CONSTANTP is now able to determine constantness of
     more complex forms, including calls to constant-foldable standardized
     functions and some special forms beyond QUOTE.
   * fixed bug: occasional GC crashes on Solaris/x86
   * optimization: x86-64 supports stack allocation of results of simple
     calls of MAKE-ARRAY, bound to variables, declared DYNAMIC-EXTENT
+  * enchancement: the PROCESS-INPUT and -OUTPUT streams created by 
+    SB-EXT:RUN-PROGRAM can be used for both character and byte IO
+    (thanks to James Knight)
+  * fixed bug: CL:LISTEN always returns NIL at end of file, as required
+    by the standard (thanks to Stephen Compall)
