+changes in sbcl-0.9.4 relative to sbcl-0.9.3:

+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
+    (unsigned-byte 8) I/O
+  * Support for the koi8-r external format.  (thanks to Ivan Boldyrev)
+  * Bug fix: OPEN no longer fails when *PRINT-READABLY* is T. (thanks
+    to Zach Beane)
+  * bug fix: no more highly sporadic "couldn't check whether ~S is
+    readable" when reading a stream and an interrupt hits in the middle
+    of a select system call
+  * compiler better recognizes complex arrays (reported by Eduardo
+    Muñoz)
+  * bug fix: out-of-line SB-SYS:FOREIGN-SYMBOL-ADDRESS did not work
+    for variables on SBCL built with linkage-tables. (reported by Luis
+    Oliveira)
+  * various error reporting improvements.
+  * optimizations: LOGNOR on fixnums is improved in the MIPS backend.
+    (Thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * bug fix: nested reader invokations work correctly
+  * bug fix: it is possible to have simultaneous references to foreign
+    code and foreign data with the same name.
+  * threads
+    ** added x86-64 support
+    ** incompatible change: the threading api now works with thread
+       objects instead of thread ids
+    ** bug fix: threads are protected from signals and interruption when
+       starting up or going down
+    ** bug fix: a race where an exiting thread could lose its stack to gc
+    ** bug fix: don't halt on infinite error in threads if possible
+    ** fixed numerous gc deadlocks introduced in the pthread merge
+    ** bug fix: fixed thread safety issues in read and print
+    ** bug fix: debugger doesn't hang on session lock if interrupted at
+       an inappropriate moment
+    ** bug fix: run-program is now thread safe(r)
+    ** bug fix: inner with-recursive-lock no longer releases the mutex
+  * fixed a bug in (DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME 0) (reported by Paul Dietz)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** TYPE-ERRORs from signalled by COERCE now have DATUM and
+       EXPECTED-TYPE slots filled.
+    ** MULTIPLE-VALUE-SETQ always returns the primary value of the
+       values form.
+    ** MAKE-CONDITION accepts classes as type-designators.
+    ** COMPILE may never return NIL.
+    ** ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now guards against times out of Unix's
+       range before calling Unix time functions

 changes in sbcl-0.9.2 relative to sbcl-0.9.1:

   * minor incompatible change: we now correctly canonize default
