   * repeated evaluation of the same DEFSTRUCT, a slot of which is
     declared to have a functional type, does not cause an error
     anymore.
+  * fixed bug: sometimes MAKE-INSTANCE did not work with classes with
+    many :DEFAULT-INITARGS. (reported by Istvan Marko)
+  * fixed bug: if last continuation of a deleted block has a
+    destination, this destination should be deleted too. (reported by
+    ohler on #lisp)
+  * fixed a bug in the bootstrap process: the host compiler's values
+    of ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT and ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT no longer leak
+    into the newly-built SBCL. (reported by Eric Marsden on #lisp,
+    test case from Patrik Nordebo)
+  * improved the ability of the disassembler on the PPC platform to
+    provide helpful disassembly notes.
+  * SB-MOP:CLASS-PROTOTYPE on built-in-classes returns an instance of
+    the class in more cases than previously.
+  * bug fix: FILE-POSITION now understands :START and :END for
+    STRING-INPUT-STREAMs.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * bug fix: (SIGNED-BYTE 8) streams no longer return (UNSIGNED-BYTE
+    8) data.  (thanks to David Lichteblau)
+  * bug fix: it is possible to add a method to a generic function
+    without lambda list.
+  * bug fix: reader failed to signal END-OF-FILE inside an
+    object representation. (reported by Nikodemus Siivola)
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** LAST and [N]BUTLAST should accept a bignum.
+    ** condition slot accessors are methods.
+    ** (VECTOR NIL) is a subtype of STRING.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.3 relative to sbcl-0.8.2:
+  * SBCL now builds and runs on MacOS X (version 10.2), or perhaps
+    more accurately, on the Darwin kernel running on PowerPC hardware.
+    (thanks to Brian Mastenbrook, Pierre Mai and Patrik Nordebo)
+  * Compiler code deletion notes now signal a condition of type
+    SB-EXT:CODE-DELETION-NOTE (a subtype of SB-EXT:COMPILER-NOTE) with
+    an associated MUFFLE-WARNING restart.
+  * The compiler now performs limited argument count validation of
+    constant format strings in FORMAT, and where appropriate in ERROR, 
+    CERROR and WARN.  (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+  * New ASDF-INSTALL contrib can be used for automatic download and 
+    installation of third-party Lisp code from CCLAN or other sites
+    via CLiki
+  * Threaded builds (:SB-THREAD) now support SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD,
+    which forces another thread to execute a function supplied by the
+    caller
+  * bug 75 fix: WITH-OUTPUT-TO-STRING (and MAKE-STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM) now
+    accept and act upon their :ELEMENT-TYPE keyword argument.
+    (reported by Martin Atzmueller, Edi Weitz)
+  * bug fix: FILE-POSITION now accepts position designators up to
+    ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT or the extreme of the off_t range, whichever
+    is the greater.  (thanks to Patrik Nordebo)
+  * bug fix: MAKE-ARRAY ignored :INITIAL-CONTENTS NIL. (reported by
+    Kalle Olavi Niemitalo)
+  * bug fix: the CLASS-PROTOTYPE of the GENERIC-FUNCTION class is now
+    printable.  (reported by Eric Marsden)
+  * bug fix in sb-posix: mmap() now works on systems with a 64-bit
+    off_t, including Darwin and FreeBSD.  (thanks to Andreas Fuchs)
+  * x86 bug fix in control stack exhaustion checking: now shows backtrace
+  * bug fix in WITH-TIMEOUT: now the body can have more than one form.
+    (thanks to Stig Sandoe)
+  * bug fix in READ-SEQUENCE: READ-SEQUENCE following PEEK-CHAR or
+    UNREAD-CHAR now correctly includes the unread character in the
+    target sequence.  (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+  * new optimization: inside a named function any reference to a
+    function with the same name is considered to be a self-reference;
+    this behaviour is controlled with SB-C::RECOGNIZE-SELF-CALLS
+    optimization quality.
+  * new optimization on x86: logical functions and + now have
+    optimized (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) versions, which are automatically
+    used when the result is truncated to 32 bits.
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** The system now obeys the constraint imposed by
+       UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE that the upgraded array element
+       types form a lattice under type intersection.
+    ** FFLOOR, FTRUNCATE, FCEILING and FROUND work with integers.
+    ** ASSOC now ignores NIL elements in an alist.
+    ** CEILING now gives the right answer with MOST-NEGATIVE-FIXNUM
+       and (1+ MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM) answers.
