+changes in sbcl-0.9.10 relative to sbcl-0.9.9:
+  * new feature: new SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE keyword argument :EXECUTABLE can
+    be used for bundling the runtime and the core file into one 
+    executable binary. This feature is not currently supported on all SBCL
+    platforms.  (thanks to James Bielman)
+  * minor incompatible change: the method by which SBCL finds its
+    contributed modules has changed; it no longer relies on symbolic
+    links from an $SBCL_HOME/systems directory, but searches directly
+    in the subdirectories of $SBCL_HOME.
+  * fixed bug #399: full call to DATA-VECTOR-REF in accesses to
+    certain complicated string types.  (reported by Gary King)
+  * fixed bug: STRING-TO-OCTETS and OCTETS-TO-STRING did not convert
+    character codes.  (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk and Ivan Boldyrev)
+  * fixed bug: DOCUMENTATION on structures no longer signals an 
+    error if no structure type of the right name exists.  (reported by
+    Glenn Ehrlich)
+  * fixed bug: compiled calls to MAKE-INSTANCE where there is an
+    applicable non-standard primary or :AROUND method on
+    INITIALIZE-INSTANCE or SHARED-INITIALIZE and a non-keyword initarg
+    no longer cause unbound variable errors.  (reported by Kevin Reid)
+
+changes in sbcl-0.9.9 relative to sbcl-0.9.8:
+  * new platform: experimental support for the Windows operating
+    system has been added.  (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+  * fixed several bugs in and robustified the PPC FFI (including
+    callbacks).  (thanks to Cyrus Harmon and Heiner Schwarte)
+  * bug fix: allow non-simple string symbol names (reported by Paul
+    Dietz)
+  * bug fix: interrupt handling on NetBSD (thanks to Richard M
+    Kreuter)
+  * bug fix: saving a core corrupted callbacks on x86/x86-64
+  * bug fix: closed a loophole in metacircularity detection and
+    grounding in the PCL implementation of CLOS.
+  * bug fix: TRUENAME on "/" no longer returns a relative pathname.
+    (reported by tomppa on #lisp)
+  * bug fix: clear the direction flag on Lisp -> C transitions, as 
+    required by the x86-64 ABI. Fixes mysterious GC crashes on SuSE.
+    (reported by Andrej Grozin and Hendrik Maryns)
+  * optimization: major improvements to GC efficiency on GENCGC platforms
+  * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL
+  * optimization: emit more efficient opcodes for some common 
+    immediate->register MOV instructions on x86-64.  (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+  * optimization: several other minor code-generation improvements on x86-64
+  * fixed segfaults on x86 FreeBSD 7-current.  (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)

 changes in sbcl-0.9.8 relative to sbcl-0.9.7:
+  * minor incompatible change: (SETF CLASS-NAME) and (SETF
+    GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) are generic functions once more (reverting
+    the change in the 0.9.7 release).  (SETF CLASS-NAME) is specified
+    by ANSI as a generic function, and for consistency (SETF
+    GENERIC-FUNCTION-NAME) is treated likewise.
+  * fixed bug #233.b: make constraint propagation notice when a variable
+    value is changed after it is referenced but before it is used
+  * fixed bug #296: no more arbitrary behaviour from filenames with
+    odd characters as --load arguments.  (reported by Adam Warner)
   * fixed bug #390: :CHARACTER-SET pathname components now work as
     expected.  (reported by Tim Daly Jr)
   * fixed bug #391: complicated :TYPE intersections in slot
