+changes in sbcl-0.9.15 relative to sbcl-0.9.14:
+  * added support for the ucs-2 external format.  (contributed by Ivan
+    Boldyrev)
+  * minor incompatible change: pretty printing of objects of type
+    (cons symbol) is, in the default pprint-dispatch-table, now
+    sensitive to whether the symbol satisfies FBOUNDP.  (thanks to
+    Marcus Pearce)
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is now
+    called later in a class's lifetime, possibly as late as when the
+    first instance of the class is created.  Previously,
+    SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE was called by the system as soon as a
+    class became finalizeable.
+  * fixed bug: FILE-POSITION sometimes returned inconsistent results
+    for multibyte external-format streams.  (thanks to "vbzoli")
+  * fixed bug: CHANGE-CLASS would fail to preserve the values of slots
+    with :ALLOCATION :CLASS inherited from superclasses of the
+    original class.
+  * fixed bug: anonymous classes can now be created using the :NAME
+    initarg and MAKE-INSTANCE / REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE, as specified by
+    AMOP.  (reported by Leonid Slobodov on comp.lang.lisp)
+  * fixed bug: core-files saved with :EXECUTABLE T can again be 
+    executed when SBCL_HOME isn't set. (reported by James Knight)
+  * fixed bug: toplevel LOCALLY forms with declarations could 
+    occasionally get miscompiled. (reported by Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+  * fixed bug: printing from several different threads using different
+    values of *print-case* could cause invalid output, due to 
+    some internal special variables of the printer not being bound
+    thread-locally (reported by Max Mikhanosha)
+  * fixed bug: SPECIALIZER metaobjects (including anonymous classes
+    and EQL-SPECIALIZERs) can be used as specializers to DEFMETHOD.
+    (reported by Pascal Costanza)
+  * fixed bug: FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is called from
+    REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE on classes when the class has previously
+    been finalized, as required by AMOP.
+  * minor code generation optimizations:
+    ** better register allocation in CLOS dispatching functions
+    ** overflow detection when coercing signed bytes to fixnums on x86-64 
+    ** is now implemented with one IMUL instruction instead of three shifts
+    ** more efficient bit-vector access on x86 and x86-64
+    ** more efficient access to raw structure slots on x86 and x86-64
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST.8: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST must
+       return its argument.

     down to an SB-SYS:FD-STREAM, allowing direct communication in
     more cases. Temporary files and pipes are still used as a fallback
     strategy.
+  * thread-safety: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME & GET-DECODED-TIME depended
+    on the non-reentrant C functions localtime(3) and gmtime(3).
   * bug fix: global optimization policy was not visible in LOCALLY and 
     MACROLET forms.
   * bug fix: class objects can be used as specializers in methods.
