+changes in sbcl-0.8.12 relative to sbcl-0.8.11:
+  * minor incompatible change: the system no longer provides
+    optimization hints (conditions which are TYPEP
+    SB-EXT:COMPILER-NOTE) for conforming code in default compilation
+    mode; these hints are still emitted when higher SPEED optimization
+    is requested.
+  * new contrib module: a sampling profiler (profiling by statistical
+    sampling, rather than by instrumenting functions) is available as
+    the SB-SPROF contrib.  (thanks to Gerd Moellmann and Juho Snellman)
+  * the behaviour of the standard function ED is now customizeable by
+    third parties through a hook variable: see ED's documentation
+    string for information on the protocol.
+  * the compiler no longer emits efficiency notes for (FUNCALL X)
+    when the type of X is uncertain under default optimization
+    settings.
+  * fixed bug 276: mutating a binding of a specialized parameter to a
+    method to something that is not TYPEP the specializer is now
+    possible.
+  * fixed bugs 45d and 118: DOUBLE-FLOAT[-NEGATIVE]-EPSILON now
+    exhibit the required behaviour on the x86 platform.  (thanks to
+    Peter van Eynde, Eric Marsden and Bruno Haible)
+  * fixed bug 335: ATANH now computes the inverse hyperbolic tangent
+    even for difficult arguments.  (reported by Peter Graves)
+  * fixed bug 141a: the backquote printer now descends quoted
+    structure.
+  * fixed another bug in backquote printing: no more destructive
+    modification of the form's list structure.  (reported by Brian
+    Downing)
+  * fixed bug in INTERRUPT-THREAD: pin the function, so that it cannot
+    move between its address being taken and the call to
+    interrupt_thread, fixing a crashing race condition.
+  * the SB-POSIX contrib implementation has been adjusted so that it
+    no longer exhibits ridiculously poor performance when constructing
+    instances corresponding to C structs.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.13 relative to sbcl-0.8.12:
+  * new feature: SB-PACKAGE-LOCKS. See the "Package Locks" section of
+    the manual for details; add :SB-PACKAGE-LOCKS in
+    customize-target-features.lisp to enable them.
+  * minor incompatible change: as threatened around sbcl-0.8.0, the
+    home package of MOP-related symbols is now SB-MOP, not SB-PCL.
+    The symbols are also exported from SB-PCL for backwards
+    compatibility, but more so than before SB-PCL should be treated as
+    an implementation-internal package.
+  * the SB-SPROF contrib now works on (most) non-x86 architectures.
+    It is known as of this release not to work on the Alpha, however.
+  * fixed bug #338: instances of EQL-SPECIFIER are now valid type
+    designators and can hence be used with TYPEP.
+  * fixed bug #333: CHECK-TYPE now ensures that the type error
+    signalled, if any, has the right object to be accessed by
+    TYPE-ERROR-DATUM.  (reported by Tony Martinez)
+  * fixed bug #340: SETF of VALUES obeys the specification in ANSI
+    5.1.2.3 for multiple-value place subforms.  (reported by Kalle
+    Olavi Niemetalo)
+  * fixed a bug: #\Space (and other whitespace characters) are no
+    longer considered to be macro characters in standard syntax by
+    GET-MACRO-CHARACTER.

     down, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
