 changes in sbcl-0.9.12 relative to sbcl-0.9.11:
+  * Enhancements for sbcl running on the Windows operating system:
+    ** (user-homedir-pathname) and default initialization file
+       locations now know about the user's "Documents and Settings"
+       directory (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk)
+    ** run-program is implemented (thanks to Mike Thomas)
+    ** sockets support (thanks to Timothy Ritchey)
+    ** better backtrace support (thanks to Alastair Bridgewater)
+    ** sb-grovel supported
+    ** asdf-install and sb-posix work somewhat
+    ** capable of running Slime using SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE* NIL
+  * minor incompatible change: The reader no longer ignores errors
+    regarding non-existent packages in #+ and #- feature tests.
   * new feature: command line options --no-sysinit, --no-userinit to
     inhibit loading the corresponding init files
+  * minor incompatible change: SIGPIPE is ignored and "Broken pipe"
+    error is signalled instead (thanks to François-René Rideau)
   * bug fix: LISTEN sometimes returned T even in cases where no data was
     immediately available from the stream
   * fixed bug: types of the last two arguments to SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR
     were reversed. (reported by Levente Mészáros)
+  * fixed bug: Tests for the (VECTOR T) type gave the wrong answer
+    when given a vector displaced to an adjustable array.  (reported
+    by Utz-Uwe Haus)
+  * bug fix: derivation of float boundaries from numbers outside the
+    appropriate float range (reported by John Wiseman)
+  * improvements to DOCUMENTATION for TYPE and STRUCTURE doc-types:
+    allow condition class objects as arguments to DOCUMENTATION and
+    (SETF DOCUMENTATION); only find and set documentation for
+    structure names for the STRUCTURE doc-type.  (suggested by Gary
+    King)
+  * improvements to the Solaris/x86 port:
+    ** works on Solaris 11/Solaris Express
+    ** floating-point exception handling support
+    ** support for the breakpoint-based TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL facility
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** REMOVE-METHOD returns its generic function argument even when
        the method is not one of the generic functions' methods.
