+changes in sbcl-0.8.0 relative to sbcl-0.8alpha.0
+  * SBCL now builds using CLISP (version of late April 2003 from CVS)
+    as cross-compilation host.
+  * a contributed module containing a partial implementation of the
+    simple-streams interface has been included.  (thanks to Rudi
+    Schlatte)
+  * minor incompatible change: the :NEGATIVE-ZERO-IS-NOT-ZERO feature
+    no longer has any effect, as the code controlled by this feature
+    has been deleted.  (As far as we know, no-one has ever built using
+    this feature, and its semantics were confused in any case).
+  * SB-MOP:DIRECT-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS and
+    SB-MOP:EFFECTIVE-SLOT-DEFINITION-CLASS now have the
+    specified-by-AMOP lambda list of (CLASS &REST INITARGS).
+  * compiler checks for duplicated variables in macro lambda lists.
+  * fixed bug 47.d: (DEFGENERIC IF (X)) now signals a PROGRAM-ERROR,
+    not a COMPILER-ERROR (followed by some other strange error on
+    choosing the CONTINUE restart).
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** the GENERIC-FUNCTION type is no longer disjoint from FUNCTION
+       types.
+    ** &ENVIRONMENT parameter in macro lambda list is bound first.
+    ** SXHASH on condition objects no longer returns NIL.
+    ** :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots are better treated; their values are
+       updated on class redefinition, and initforms inherited from
+       superclasses are applied.
+    ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
+       no method was removed.
+    ** SHARED-INITIALIZE now initializes the values of the requested
+       slots, including those with :ALLOCATION :CLASS.

   * (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
     down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe later, it might impact TRACE. They both
