+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)
+  * optimization: faster implementation of EQUAL
+  * 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
+    definitions no longer cause an error in PCL internals.
+  * fixed bug #392: plugged a hole in the obsolete-instance protocol.
+  * bug fix: FILE-STRING-LENGTH is now external-format sensitive,
+    returning the number of octets which would be written to the
+    file-stream.  (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+  * bug fix: the SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS contrib passes external-format
+    arguments to the internal stream functions.  (thanks to David
+    Lichteblau)
+  * bug fix: stack exhaustion is now handled on the x86/SunOS
+    platform.  (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
+  * bug fix: more accurate ROOM results on GENCGC platforms
+  * optimization: improved type inference for arithmetic-for
+    index variables in LOOP
+  * optimization: faster floating-point SQRT on x86-64
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** DOCUMENTATION returns NIL instead of "" for method combinations
+       that don't have a docstring
