 changes in sbcl-0.9.19 (1.0.0?) relative to sbcl-0.9.18:
+  * improvement: runtime option --dynamic-space-size can be used
+    to set the size of the dynamic space reserved on startup.
   * improvement: floating point modes in effect are now saved in
     core, and restored on startup.
   * improvement: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME now reports the time since
     startup, not time since first call to GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME.
+  * improvement: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE explicitly checks that multiple
+    threads are not running after *SAVE-HOOKS* have run.
+  * improvement: writes to CLOS instance slots are type-checked in code
+    compiled with (SAFETY 3)
+  * improvement: floating-point exception handling on FreeBSD (thanks to
+    NIIMI Satoshi)
+  * improvement: SB-POSIX supports time(2), utime(2) and utimes(2)
+    (thanks to Zach Beane)
+  * improvement: support for files larger than 2GB for CL streams and SB-POSIX
+    on Linux/x86
+  * improvement: added support for the Shift-JIS external format.
+    (contributed by NIIMI Satoshi)
   * bug fix: compiler bug triggered by a (non-standard) VALUES
     declaration in a LET* was fixed. (reported by Kaersten Poeck)
   * bug fix: file compiler no longer confuses validated and already

   * bug fix: disassemly of funcallable instances works.
-  * improvements to the Windows port:
+  * bug fix: single stepping on PPC.
+  * bug fix: fix thread-safety problems in the type system (generally 
+    manifesting as nonsensical errors like "STRING is a bad type specifier

+  * bug fix: version components are handled correctly in TRANSLATE-PATHNAME

+  * bug fix: an error is signaled for attempts to displace arrays with
+    incompatible element types (thanks to Mario Mommer)
+  * optimization: method calls with &OPTIONAL or &KEY arguments are faster
+    and don't cause extra consing
+  * optimization: MAP and MAP-INTO are significantly faster on vectors
+    whose elements types have been declared.
+  * Improvements to the Windows port:
     ** floating point exceptions are now reported correctly.
     ** stack exhaustion detection works partially.
     ** more accurate GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME.
