+changes in sbcl-0.8.18 relative to sbcl-0.8.17:
+  * new feature: reloading changed shared object files with
+    LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT now causes the new definitions to take effect.
+  * Solaris 10 (aka SunOS 5.10) on the SPARC platform is now
+    supported.  (thanks to Dan Debertin)
+  * fixed bug #331: structure-class instances corresponding to
+    DEFSTRUCT forms are now created eagerly.
+  * fixed bug #345: backtraces from calls to undefined functions work
+    on x86 as well. Related bug #61 is now also partially fixed on x86
+    (backtraces from throws to unknown catch tags.)
+  * bug fix: lambda-list parsing is now stricter vrt. order and number
+    of lambda-list keywords.
+  * bug fix: as specified by AMOP, an error is signalled if a
+    class-option appears multiple times in a DEFCLASS form. (reported
+    by Bruno Haible)
+  * bug fix: RANDOM can be compiled when the compiler derives the type
+    of its numeric argument as a disjoint set of small integers.
+    (reported by Paul Dietz)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** INCF, DECF and REMF evaluate their place form as specified in
+       CLtS 5.1.3.
+    ** FORMATTER expands ~{ ~} iteration directives with V or #
+       parameters correctly.
+    ** FORMATTER deals with the ~@[ ~] conditional directive where the
+       consequent uses no arguments correctly.
+    ** the system has a partial understanding of the (COMPLEX RATIO)
+       type specifier.
+    ** UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE obeys the lattice upgrading rules
+       required.
