 ;;;; -*- coding: utf-8; fill-column: 78 -*-
+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
+  * new feature: package local nicknames. See manual for details.
+  * enhancement: easier to use restarts for resolving name-conflicts
+    resulting from IMPORT, EXPORT, or USE-PACKAGE.
+  * enhancement: variant DEFPACKAGE forms now signal a full error with
+    restarts provided for resolving the situation. (lp#891351)
+  * enhancement: by setting SB-EXT:*ON-PACKAGE-VARIANCE* appropriately variant
+    DEFPACKAGE forms can now signal a full error with restarts provided for
+    resolving the situation. See manual for details. (lp#891351)
+  * enhancement: make-random-state now uses CryptGenRandom as a seed on Windows.
+    (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.) (lp#1102748)
+  * bug fix: secondary CLOS dispatch functions have better debug names.
+    (lp#503081)
+  * bug fix: deleting a package removes it from implementation-package
+    lists of other packages.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.4 relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
+  * optimization: LOOP expressions using "of-type character" have slightly
+    more efficient expansions.
+  * bug fix: very long (or infinite) constant lists in DOLIST do not result
+    in very long compile times or heap exhaustion anymore. (lp#1095488)
+  * bug fix: `#3(1) is read as #(1 1 1), not as #(1). (lp#1095918)
+  * bug fix: adjust-array ignored :initial-element for simple-vectors.
+    (lp#1096359)
+  * bug fix: optimizations to MAKE-INSTANCE with literal list initargs no
+    longer cause infinite loops (on circular data) or violate eqlity
+    constraints.  (lp#1099708)
+  * bug fix: FIRST was not being open coded. (regression from 1.1.0)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.3 relative to sbcl-1.1.2:
+  * enhancement: warnings about bad locale settings, LANG, LC_CTYPE, etc.
+    (lp#727625)
+  * enhancement: support for C-c to interrupt the foreground thread
+    on Windows.  (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: STDCALL alien callbacks. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: Safepoint builds on POSIX platforms can now optionally be
+    built without pseudo-atomic sequences and their run-time overhead.
+  * enhancement: Threads created outside of Lisp can enter Lisp through
+    alien callbacks and appear as Lisp threads for the duration of that
+    function invocation.  On safepoint builds only.
+  * enhancement: Miscellaneous improvements to namestrings and underlying
+    calls to OS functions for file system access on Windows.  (Thanks to
+    Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: The MSI installer support for Windows now uses Windows
+    Installer XML at least version 3.5 and includes various usability
+    improvements.  (Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: The sb-bsd-sockets contrib now supports non-blocking-mode
+    on Windows.  (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: The Windows backend now supports the x86-64 platform.
+    (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * bug fix: fasls are now once again directly executable (on platforms
+    supporting shebang lines, with a suitably-installed sbcl).
+  * bug fix: make.sh --help no longer runs clean.sh. (lp#937001)
+  * bug fix: Fix CAS access to slots of direct instances of structure classes
+    in the presence of subclasses sharing the same conc-name.
+  * bug fix: Logical pathname namestrings on Windows have been changed to
+    be lower-case, to minimize differences between POSIX and Windows.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.2 relative to sbcl-1.1.1:
+  * notice: System requirements for SBCL on Microsoft Windows: Windows NT 5.1
+    or newer (Windows XP, Server 2003) is required.  Support for Windows 2000
+    (NT 5.0) is no longer being maintained.
+  * notice: Starting with this version, SBCL on Windows no longer supports
+    building with disabled thread support.
+  * enhancement: frlocks have been added to SB-CONCURRENCY contrib module.
+  * enhancement: New feature sb-dynamic-core allows the runtime to be
+    rebuilt or relocated without requiring changes to the core file on
+    all linkage table platforms.  Required on Windows.  (Thanks to Anton
+    Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: Console I/O streams use UCS-2. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: I/O on Windows unnamed pipes is interruptible
+    asynchronously using interrupt-thread, timers when running on Windows NT
+    version 6.1 or newer (Windows 7, Server 2008 R2).  (Thanks to Anton
+    Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: Support for the experimental safepoint-based stop-the-world
+    protocol on the PowerPC platform.
+  * bug fix: Non-blocking reads from the Windows console were not necessarily
+    non-blocking. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko. (lp#308923)
+  * bug fix: stability of threads on Windows has been improved upon through
+    an updated stop-the-world protocol (thanks to Anton Kovalenko).
+
 changes in sbcl-1.1.1 relative to sbcl-1.1.0:
   * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT no longer grabs the world-lock.
     (COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE still do.)
