+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.14:
+  * new feature: the iterative spilling/coloring register allocator developed
+    by Alexandra Barchunova during Google Summer of Code 2013 is now merged
+    in.  By default, it only activates for functions that optimize with
+    (speed 3) and (> speed compilation-speed), but setting
+    sb-regalloc:*register-allocation-method* to :iterative forces its
+    execution.  The previous behaviour can be obtained by instead setting that
+    variable to :greedy.  Thanks again to Google for their support, and, more
+    crucially, to Alexandra Barchunova for her hard work.
+  * optimization: make-array with known element-type and unknown dimensions is
+    much faster.
+  * optimization: make-array with unknown element-type is faster as well.
+    (lp#1004501)
+  * enhancement: sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die on Windows now accepts
+    :application-type argument, which can be :console or :gui. :gui allows
+    having GUI applications without an automatically appearing console window.
+  * enhancement: reduced conservativism on GENCGC platforms:
+    conservative roots must be valid-looking tagged pointers or point
+    within a code object, not merely point to within the allocated part
+    of a page, in order to pin a page.
+  * enhancement: support for "Mac Roman" external format.
+  * enhancement: encapsulation of named generic functions now happens without
+    altering the identity of the function bound to the name.
+  * bug fix: Windows applications without the console window no longer misbehave.
+    (patch by Wilfredo Velazquez, lp#1256034).
+  * bug fix: modular arithmetic optimizations do not stumble on dead branches
+    with bad constants. (reported by Douglas Katzman)
+  * bug fix: CLISP can be used again as a cross-compilation host.
+    (Thanks to Vasily Postnicov, lp#1261451)
+  * bug fix: run-program crashed with :directory nil. (lp#1265077)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.14 relative to sbcl-1.1.13:
+  * optimization: complicated TYPEP tests are less opaque to the type
+    propagation pass. (lp#1229340)
+  * optimization: [N]BUTLAST perform a single pass over the list. (lp#1245697)
+  * optimization: EQUALP on structures with raw slots (double-float/complex)
+    no longer conses and is faster.
+  * optimization: RESTART-CASE expands to more compact code.
+    Thanks to Jan Moringen. (lp#1249055)
+  * enhancement: Top-level defmethod without defgeneric no longer causes
+    undefined-function warnings in subsequent forms. (lp#503095)
+  * enhancement: Better error messages for system errors on Windows.
+  * enhancement: run-sbcl.sh is usefully handled by rlwrap.  Thanks to William
+    Cushing. (lp#1249183)
+  * enhancement: new function SB-EXT:ASSERT-VERSION->= accepts a version
+    specification (multiple integer arguments) and signals a continuable error
+    if the current SBCL version is lower (older) than the specification.
+    (lp#674372)
+  * enhancement: better ARRAY-RANK result derivation. (lp#1252108)
+  * bug fix: EQUALP now compares correctly structures with raw slots larger
+    than a single word.
+  * bug fix: contribs couldn't be built on Windows with MinGW.
+  * bug fix: Better pathname handling on Windows. (lp#922117)
+  * bug fix: OPEN reports a more meaningful error when an existing file is
+    opened for output with :if-exists :new-version.  Thanks to Philip
+    Munksgaard. (lp#455381)
+  * bug fix: DEFSTRUCTs with NIL as a slot name no longer cause strange
+    CLOS-related errors.  (lp#633911)
+  * bug fix: GC deadlocks caused by concurrent consing on Windows.
