 changes in sbcl-0.7.5 relative to sbcl-0.7.4:
+  * SBCL now runs on the Tru64 (aka OSF/1) operating system on the
+    Alpha architecture.
+  * More progress has been made toward bootstrapping under CLISP and
+    OpenMCL.
   * bug 140 fixed: redefinition of classes with different supertypes
     is now reflected in the type hierarchy. (thanks to Pierre Mai)
   * bug 158 fixed: the compiler can now deal with integer loop
