+changes in sbcl-0.9.4 relative to sbcl-0.9.3:
+  * new port: the Solaris operating system on x86 processors is now
+    mostly supported, though some rough edges in the environment
+    remain.  (thanks to Daisuke Homma)
+  * enhancement: SBCL on MIPS platforms now has a much larger dynamic
+    space for its heap.  (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * minor incompatible change: eof selects abort in the debugger.
+  * minor incompatible change: *INVOKE-DEBUGGER-HOOK* is run before
+    *DEBUGGER-HOOK* => *DEBUGGER-HOOK* is not run when the debugger
+    is disabled.
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA is
+    deprecated, and will go away in a future revision of SBCL.
+  * minor incompatible change: GC-ON and GC-OFF are no longer
+    implemented with a counter, it does not matter how many times gc
+    is switched on or off
+  * bug fix: discriminating functions for generic function classes
+    with non-standard methods for COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS no longer
+    make invalid assumptions about method precedence order.  (reported
+    by Bruno Haible)
+  * bug fix: degree sign (<U00B0>) could not be encoded in KOI8-R.
+  * bug fix: correct pathname printing with printer escaping is on.
+    (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * bug fix: complex VOP definitions in "user-space" no longer trigger
+    package locks.  (reported by Zach Beane)
+  * fixed bug 343: SB-KERNEL:INSTANCE-LAMBDA is no longer necessary
+    for funcallable-instance functions, and is no different from
+    regular LAMBDA.
+  * bug fix: PARSE-INTEGER no longer depends on the whitespaceness of
+    characters in the current readtable.  (reported by Nicholas Neuss)
+  * bug fix: SUBTYPEP on various CONS types returns more a more
+    accurate acknowledgment of its certainty.
+  * optimizations: REMOVE-DUPLICATES now runs in linear time on
+    lists in some cases.  This partially fixes bug 384.
+  * flush all standard streams before prompting in the REPL and the
+    debugger.
+  * bug fix: signal handling and triggering gc do not conflict
+    directly anymore, in particular a high frequency sb-sprof does
+    not prevent gc from running
+  * threads
+    ** bug fix: RELEASE-FOREGROUND doesn't choke on session lock if
+       there is only one thread in the session
+    ** bug fix: memory leak for streams created in one thread and
+       written to in another
+    ** bug fix: lockup when compiled with gcc4
+    ** bug fix: race that allows the gc to be triggered when gc is
+       inhibited
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** CALL-NEXT-METHOD signals an error (in safe code) when the call
+       has arguments with a different set of applicable methods from
+       the orignal arguments.
+
 changes in sbcl-0.9.3 relative to sbcl-0.9.2:
   * New feature: Experimental support for bivalent streams: streams
     opened with :element-type :default now allow character and binary
