+changes in sbcl-0.9.5 relative to sbcl-0.9.4:
+  * added support for the following external formats: koi8-u,
+    x-mac-cyrillic, cp437, cp850, cp852, cp855, cp857, cp860, cp861,
+    cp862, cp863, cp864, cp865, cp866, cp869, cp874, iso-8859-2,

+    cp1255,cp1256, cp1257, cp1258 (contributed by Ivan Boldyrev)
+  * incompatible change: a threaded SBCL will no longer revert to 
+    non-threaded mode on non-NPTL systems, but refuse to start entirely.    
+  * bug fix: interrupts are disabled until startup is complete; no
+    more sigsegvs when receiving a signal to soon
+  * optimization: Faster 32-bit SB-ROTATE-BYTE:ROTATE-BYTE on non-x86/ppc
+    platforms
+  * bug fix: add a workaround for the memory randomization features in
+    Linux kernels >= 2.6.12 that interfere with SBCL's memory maps. This
+    workaround will only be in effect on systems with the proc filesystem
+    mounted.
+  * bug fix: printing objects of type HASH-TABLE signals a
+    PRINT-NOT-READABLE error when *READ-EVAL* is NIL.  (reported by
+    Faré Rideau)
+  * bug fix: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME now works even for processes that 
+    have been running for over 50 days. (reported by Gilbert Baumann)
+  * threads
+    ** bug fix: parent thread now can be gc'ed even with a live
+       child thread
+    ** bug fix: binding a special with PROGV to no value is not
+       the same as that symbol not having been bound (thanks to
+       Hannu Koivisto)
+    ** bug fix: binding specials is thread safe (thanks to
+       Hannu Koivisto)
+    ** bug fix: interrupt handlers are now per-process, RUN-PROGRAM
+       and SB-SPROF do not die with 'no handler for signal XX in
+       interrupt_handle_now(..)' anymore
+    ** bug fix: WITH-TIMEOUT works with multiple running threads
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION should take a method class object for
+       the :method-class keyword argument.
+
