+** ECL backend
+*** Numerous enhancements
+
+* 2.19 (February 2017)
+** Core
+*** Function `create-server` now accepts optional `interface` argument.
+Swank will bind the PORT on this interface. By default, interface is 127.0.0.1.
+This argument can be used, for example, to bind swank on IPv6 interface "::1".
+** SBCL backend
+*** Now swank can be bound to IPv6 interface and can work on IPv6-only machines.
+*** Compatiblity with the latest SBCL
+
+* 2.18 (May 2016)
+*** Mostly bug fixes and compatibility with newer implementations
+

+*** Auto-completion now supports package-local nicknames on SBCL and ABCL.
+*** Bug fixes and updates for newer implementations.
+
+* 2.15 (August 2015)
+** Core
+*** Completions are now displayed with `completion-at-point'.
+The new variable `slime-completion-at-point-functions' should now be
+used to customize completion.  The old variable
+`slime-complete-symbol-function' still works, but it is considered
+obsolete and will be removed eventually.
+
+** SBCL backend
+*** M-. can locate forms within PROGN/MACROLET/etc. Needs SBCL 1.2.15 
+
+* 2.14 (June 2015)
+** Core
+*** Rationals are displayed in the echo area as floats too
+*** Some of SLDB's faces now have MORE COLOR
+*** Clicking with mouse-1 within inspector does things
+As do mouse-6 and mouse-7. (Thanks to Attila Lendvai.)

+*** Now takes a better guess at symbol case (issue #233)
+
+** slime-fancy
+*** slime-mdot-fu is now enabled by default
+
+** SBCL backend
+*** Now able to jump to ir1-translators, declaims and alien types
+*** Various updates supporting SBCL 1.2.12
+
+** ABCL backend
+*** Fixed inspection of frame-locals in the debugger
+(Thanks to Mark Evenson.)
+
+* 2.13 (March 2015)
+
+** Core
+*** slime-cycle-connections has been deprecated
+It has been replaced by slime-next-connection and
+slime-prev-connection. A shortcut for the latter has been added to
+slime-selector.
+
+** slime-mdot-fu
+The slime-mdot-fu contrib has been brought back to life. (Thanks to Charles
+Zhang. Issues #8, #231 and #232.)
+
+** slime-typeout-frame
+The slime-typeout-frame contrib has been restored. (Issue #221.)
+
+** SBCL backend
+*** Fixed xrefs coming from C-c C-c
+Issue #227.
+
+** CMUCL, SBCL and SCL backends
+*** Better support for custom readtables
+Functionality that depends on SWANK's source-path-parser, such as
+`slime-find-definition', now works properly in face of custom
+readtables by honoring SWANK:*READTABLE-ALIST*. (Thanks to Gábor
+Melis. PR #244.)
+
+** Kawa backend
+*** Updated for Kawa version 2.0
+
+* 2.12 (January 2015)
+
+** Core
+A couple of regressions introduced in version 2.10 were fixed.
+
+*** slime-compile-buffer (C-c C-k) no longer tries to save every buffer
+*** slime-autodoc-mode doesn't spam the minibuffer anymore
+
+** SWANK
+*** CREATE-SERVER provides interactive restarts when port is taken
+Thanks to Adlai Chandrasekhar. (PR #204.)
+
+** slime-fuzzy
+New variable *FUZZY-DUPLICATE-SYMBOL-FILTER* allows customization of
+how symbols accessible from multiple packages should be
+canonicalized. Defaults to :NEAREST-PACKAGE, a departure from the
+previous default behaviour which is still available using
+:HOME-PACKAGE. The new behaviour expands "ui:e-l" to
+"uiop:ensure-list" rather than "uiop/utility:ensure-list". Consult the
+manual for other options and other details.
+
+Thanks to Ivan Shvedunov. (PR #205.)
+
+* 2.11 (December 2014)
+
+** MELPA is now an officially supported installation method
+Various bugs involving installation and upgrading via package.el were
+fixed. See the README for more details. (Issues #125, #195, #208.)
+
+** Core
+*** Compilation via the xref buffer now works again
+
+** slime-repl / slime-presentations
+Only text to the left of the cursor should limit the scope of history
+navigation. Fixed a long-standing bug that violated this when
+slime-presentations was enabled. (Thanks to Ivan Shvedunov. PR #207.)
+
+** slime-package-fu
+Now handles strings as symbol designators, is mindful of trailing
+whitespace and properly handles an :export clause immediately
+following the package name. (Thanks to Leo Liu. PR #145.)
+
+** slime-indentation
+The edge case handling described in slime-cl-indent.el:958 have been
+has been restored.
+
+** Allegro CL backend
+Support for mlisp was restored. It had been broken by the previous
+release. (Reported by Alexandre Rademaker. Issue #209.)
+
+** New experimental SWANK backend for MLWorks
+
+** SWANK
+swank-listener-hooks was restored. (Thanks to Ivan Shvedunov. PR #210.)
+
+* 2.10.1 (October 2014)
+
+*** The SWANK-BACKEND nickname has been added to the SWANK/BACKEND package
+This should ease the migration of external projects that depend on the
+SWANK-BACKEND package. However, note that SWANK/BACKEND (as well as
+the other SWANK/* packages) are internal packages. Please refer to
+Conium <http://www.cliki.net/conium> for a project that purports to
+offer a stable API for debugger- and compiler-related tasks in Common
+Lisp.
+
+* 2.10 (October 2014)
+
+** Core
+*** The SWANK-BACKEND package has been renamed to SWANK/BACKEND
+Furthermore, implementations of the SWANK-BACKEND interface have
+individual packages such as SWANK/SBCL, SWANK/CCL, etc. Other packages
+such as SWANK-RPC, SWANK-GRAY have likewise had their hyphens turned
+into slashes.
+
+*** slime-compile-file is now aware of compilation-ask-about-save
+When set to nil, SLIME will save modified buffers without asking.
+compilation-save-buffers-predicate can be used to customize which
+buffers should be automatically saved.
+
+** slime-repl
+*** Clearing REPL output no longer deletes the prompt (issue #183)
+
+** slime-autodoc
+This contrib has been rewritten. Please report any regressions you may
+find.
+
+** ABCL backend
+*** Inspecting CLOS objects works properly again
+*** SLDB frame arguments have become inspectable
+
+** SBCL backend
+*** Source locations involving the #. reader macro
+The aforementioned mechanism was adapted to recent changes in the
+internals of the SBCL reader.
+
+*** Breakage involving recent versions of SBCL on Windows was fixed (issue #192)
+We no longer assume SB-SYS:ENABLE-INTERRUPT exists on Windows SBCL.
+
+** MKCL backend
+New backend for ManKai Common Lisp.
+
+** CMUCL backend
+*** Support for versions prior to 20c has been removed
+
+** MIT Scheme backend
+*** Updated and now requires MIT Scheme 9.2
+
+* 2.9 (August 2014)
+
+** Core
+*** Various display-related bugfixes
+
+** CMUCL
+*** M-. now works on condition classes
+
+* 2.8 (July 2014)
+
+** Core
+
+*** Inspector fixes and improvements for SBCL.
+
+** Contribs
+*** Kawa backend supports Kawa 1.14.
+
+* 2.7 (June 2014)
+
+** Core
+*** SWANK now tries harder to send double-floats to Emacs
+
+** Allegro CL Backend
+*** Added implementation for FUNCTION-NAME and FIND-SOURCE-LOCATION interfaces
+Notably, this means that pressing "." in the SLIME inspector now works
+on Allegro CL. (Thanks to Gábor Melis.)
+
+* 2.6 (May 2014)
+
+** Core
+
+*** *print-readably* bound to nil when displaying condition messages
+
+*** Issue #144: Removed nicknames and short package names
+The STD nickname for SWANK-TRACE-DIALOG was removed. MONITOR was
+renamed to SWANK-MONITOR and its nickname MON removed.
+
+*** Issues #135, #154: slime-to-lisp-filename used more pervasively
+Now used for the both the port-file and loader file when announced
+from Emacs to the lisp backend. Allows a user-written
+`slime-to-lisp-filename-function' that supports Cygwin lisps with
+non-Cygwin Emacsen or vice-versa. See #135 for an example of such a
+function.
+
+*** Issue #155: Stale SLDB buffers are now properly removed
+Indirect exits from an SLDB buffer that was not selected in a window
+would leave a stale buffer behind, leading to an inconsistent state
+and unexpected errors.
+
+** Contribs
+
+*** Issue #139: Restored "copy to REPL" for slime-presentations
+`slime-copy-presentation-at-point-to-repl' will copy a presentation to
+the REPL, place it at point, and _not_ set *, ** and ***. This
+behaviour restored after refactorings of "copy to REPL" behaviour of
+previous versions.
+
+*** Issue #140: Improvements in the "copy to REPL" behaviour
+With or without the slime-presentations contrib, M-RET will
+copy/return values to REPL from both Inspector and SLDB buffers,
+setting *, ** and *** . If the slime-presentations contrib is enabled,
+the returned part will be an interactive presentation. The protocol
+for copying down parts to REPL has been reworked to not assume a CL
+backend .
+
+*** Now supports more CLHS references: :type, :system-class, :ansi-cl
+
+*** Issue #133: Fixed links to the SBCL manual
+
+** Backend improvements
+
+*** SBCL
+
+**** `slime-set-default-directory' now calls chdir
+This propagates its effects to subprocesses.
+
+* 2.5 (April 2014)
+
+** Backend improvements
+
+*** Clozure CL
+
+**** `slime-set-default-directory' now calls chdir
+This propagates its effects to subprocesses.
+
+*** Allegro CL
+
+**** swank-compile-string no longer binds *default-pathname-defaults*
+This was inconsistent with the behaviour of other backends and caused
+strange issues with SYS:TEMPORARY-DIRECTORY.
+
+**** Improved source file recording
+Whenever possible interactive definition compilation is mapped to the
+actual source file rather than the buffer name to avoid breakage when
+the the buffer name changes or is closed.
+
+** SLIME Trace Dialog
+
+*** (Un)Tracing a definition automatically updates the trace status
+
+** slime-repl
+
+*** Inspecting * in REPL no longer inspects ** (issue #137)
+
+** slime-autodoc
+
+*** Multiline arglists in `slime-autodoc' no longer imply a newline (issue #7)
+
+** Core Bugfixes
+
+*** SWANK port file name defined in more portable fashion
+Bug reported by Mirko Vukovic on slime-devel.
+
+*** inferior-lisp-program can now hold paths with spaces (issue #116)
+
+* 2.4 (March 2014)
+
+** New contrib SLIME Trace Dialog included in `slime-fancy'
+Interactive interface to tracing functions and methods. See manual for
+details.
+
+** New contrib `slime-fancy-trace', included in `slime-fancy'
+If your implementation allows it, trace complex method signatures,
+labels, etc...
+
+** New options in `slime-cl-indent.el' used by the `slime-indentation' contrib
+New variables are `lisp-loop-body-forms-indentation' and
+`lisp-loop-body-forms-indentation'.
+
+** New command `sldb-copy-down-to-repl' bound to M-RET in debugger
+Copies the frame variable under point to the REPL, much as
+`slime-inspector-copy-down-to-repl' does.
+
+** New command `slime-delete-package'
+
+** UTF8 encoding
+SLIME now uses only UTF8 to encode strings on the wire.  Customization
+variables like `slime-net-coding-system' or `swank:*coding-system*' are
+now useless.
+
+** Setup recipe
+In preparation for a more decentralized approach to SLIME contribs,
+the setup recipe has been slightly changed, hopefully in a backwards
+compatible way. Calling `slime-setup' is no longer required. Instead,
+the `slime-contribs' variable can be customized with a list of
+contribs to be loaded when `M-x slime' is first executed. See section
+`8.1 Loading Contrib Packages' of the SLIME Manual for more details.
+
+** Bugfixes and stability improvements since the move to Github
+
+*** Issue #9: new REPL output respectes existing REPL results or presentations.
+
+*** Issue #17: TAB no longer freezes the REPL in "read-mode"
+
+*** Issue #42: compiles on Emacs 24
+
+*** Issue #43: `just-one-space' no longer breaks REPL
+
+*** Issue #34: "Error in timer" error when starting slime on emacs24
+
+*** Printing conditions is now a bit safer in the debugger (git:bafeb86)
+
+*** Fix undo behavior in the REPL (git:af354d7)
+Previously, undo would obliterate previous prompts.
+
+*** Fix REPL type-ahead behaviour when presentations active (git:38a1826)
+Input typed before your lisp responds is appended to the result when it arrives.
+
+*** Fix package and dir synch when no process buffer (git:dc88935)
+Sometimes process buffer has been killed, but connection is still active.
+
+*** M-p on any part of the REPL buffer no longer errors (git:dc88935)
+
+*** slime-presentations can be enabled in inspector (git:647c3c3, 2f57b34)
+Set `slime-inspector-insert-ispec-function' to
+`slime-presentation-inspector-insert-ispec' to use them.
+
+*** M-. on a presentation on the REPL now longer errors
+This happened when `slime-presentations' was enabled, either by itself
+or by `slime-fancy'.
+
+*** M-. on the first position of a *slime-apropos* buffer no longer fails.
+This happened with the `slime-fancy-inspector.el' contrib.
+
+*** RET on no part in *inspector* buffer no longer errors
+
+*** slime-repsentations properly recognized when at very beginning of buffer
+Fix by Attila Lendvai
+
+*** Avoid loading `swank-asdf.lisp' if there's a good chance it will break SWANK
+`swank-asdf.lisp' aborts the connection if it finds an old ASDF version.
+
+*** In ABCL, `slime-describe-function' now works for both macros and functions.
+
+** SLIME builds on Travis CI
+See https://travis-ci.org/slime/slime for the build status and history.
+
+** Testing framework refactored to use ERT
+`def-slime-test' creates regular ERT tests. `define-slime-ert-test' is
+a lighter convenience macro which automatically sets some tags for the
+new tests.
+
+** Top-level Makefile
+For hackers or users using the latest version, there is now a
+top-level Makefile. Use "make help" to learn about targets.
+
+** Moved to Github
+SLIME now lives in Github. The documentation and the README.md file
+were updated. HACKING was renamed to CONTRIBUTING.md and updated with
+Github specific instructions.
+
+** Bugfixes and stability improvements
+Since the last release and before move to Github, many bugfixes and
+other changes were commited, too many to list here. See Changelog for
+details.
+
+* 2.3 (October 2011)
+
+** REPL no longer loaded by default
+SLIME has a REPL which communicates exclusively over SLIME's socket.
+This REPL is no longer loaded by default.  The default REPL is now the
+one by the Lisp implementation in the *inferior-lisp* buffer.  The
+simplest way to enable the old REPL is:
+
+  (slime-setup '(slime-repl))
+
+** Precise source tracking in Clozure CL
+Recent versions of the CCL compiler support source-location tracking.
+This makes the sldb-show-source command much more useful and M-. works
+better too.
+
+** Environment variables for Lisp process
+slime-lisp-implementations can be used to specify a list of strings to
+augment the process environment of the Lisp process.  E.g.:
+
+    (sbcl-cvs
+     ("/home/me/sbcl-cvs/src/runtime/sbcl"
+      "--core" "/home/me/sbcl-cvs/output/sbcl.core")
+     :env ("SBCL_HOME=/home/me/sbcl-cvs/contrib/"))
+
+* 2.1
+
+** Removed Features
+Some of the more esoteric features, like presentations or fuzzy
+completion, are no longer enabled by default.  A new directory
+"contrib/" contains the code for these packages.  To use them, you
+must make some changes to your ~/.emacs.  For details see, section
+"Contributed Packages" in the manual.
+
+** Stepper
+Juho Snellman implemented stepping commands for SBCL.
+
+** Completions
+SLIME can now complete keywords and character names (like #\newline).
+
+* 2.0 (April 2006)
+
+** In-place macro expansion
+Marco Baringer wrote a new minor mode to incrementally expand macros.
+
+** Improved arglist display
+SLIME now recognizes `make-instance' calls and displays the correct
+arglist if the classname is present.  Similarly, for `defmethod' forms
+SLIME displays the arguments of the generic function.
+
+** Persistent REPL history
+SLIME now saves the command history from REPL buffers in a file and
+reloads it for newly created REPL buffers.
+
+** Scieneer Common Lisp
+Douglas Crosher added support for Scieneer Common Lisp.
+
+** SBCL
+Various improvements to make SLIME work well with current SBCL versions.
+
+** Corman Common Lisp
+Espen Wiborg added support for Corman Common Lisp.
+
+** Presentations
+A new feature which associates objects in Lisp with their textual
+represetation in Emacs.  The text is clickable and operations on the
+associated object can be invoked from a pop-up menu.
+
+** Security
+SLIME has now a simple authentication mechanism: if the file
+~/.slime-secret exists we verify that Emacs and Lisp can access it.
+Since both parties have access to the same file system, we assume that
+we can trust each other.
+
+* 1.2 (March 2005)
+
+** New inspector
+The lisp side now returns a specially formated list of "things" to
+format which are then passed to emacs and rendered in the inspector
+buffer. Things can be either text, recursivly inspectable values, or
+functions to call. The new inspector has much better support CLOS
+objects and methods.
+
+** Unicode
+It's now possible to send non-ascii characters to Emacs, if the
+communication channel is configured properly.  See the variable
+`slime-net-coding-system'.
+
+** Arglist lookup while debugging
+Previously, arglist lookup was disabled while debugging.  This
+restriction was removed. 
+
+** Extended tracing command
+It's now possible to trace individual a single methods or all methods
+of a generic function.  Also tracing can be restricted to situations
+in which the traced function is called from a specific function.
+
+** M-x slime-browse-classes
+A simple class browser was added.
+
+** FASL files
+The fasl files for different Lisp/OS/hardware combinations are now
+placed in different directories.
+
+** Many other small improvements and bugfixes
+
+* 1.0 (September 2004)
+
+** slime-interrupt
+The default key binding for slime-interrupt is now C-c C-b.
+
+** sldb-inspect-condition
+In SLDB 'C' is now bound to sldb-inspect-condition.
+
+** More Menus
+SLDB and the REPL have now pull-down menus.
+
+** Global debugger hook.
+A new configurable *global-debugger* to control whether
+swank-debugger-hook should be installed globally is available. True by
+default.
+
+** When you call sldb-eval-in-frame with a prefix argument, the result is 
+now inserted in the REPL buffer.
+
+** Compile function
+For Allegro M-. works now for functions compiled with C-c C-c.
+
+** slime-edit-definition
+Better support for Allegro: works now for different type of
+definitions not only. So M-. now works for e.g. classes in Allegro.
+
+** SBCL 0.8.13
+SBCL 0.8.12 is no longer supported.  Support for 0.8.12 was broken for
+for some time now.
+
+* 1.0 beta (August 2004)
+
+** autodoc global variables
+The slime-autodoc-mode will now automatically show the value of a
+global variable at point.
+
+** Customize group
+The customize group is expanded and better-organised.
+
+** slime-interactive-eval
+Interactive-eval commands now print their results to the REPL when
+given a prefix argument.
+
+** slime-conservative-indentation
+New Elisp variable. Non-nil means that we exclude def* and with-* from
+indentation-learning. The default is t.
+
+** (slime-setup)
+New function to streamline setup in ~/.emacs
+
+** Modeline package
+The package name in the modeline is now updated on an idle timer. The
+message should now be more meaningful when moving around in files
+containing multiple IN-PACKAGE forms.
+
+** XREF bugfix
+The XREF commands did not find symbols in the right package.
+
+** REPL prompt
+The package name in the REPL's prompt is now abbreviated to the last
+`.'-delimited token, e.g. MY.COMPANY.PACKAGE would be PACKAGE. This
+can be disabled by setting SWANK::*AUTO-ABBREVIATE-DOTTED-PACKAGES* to
+NIL.
+
+** CMUCL source cache
+The source cache is now populated on `first-change-hook'. This makes
+M-. work accurately in more file modification scenarios.
+
+** SBCL compiler errors
+Detect compiler errors and make some noise. Previously certain
+problems (e.g. reader-errors) could slip by quietly.
+
+* 1.0 alpha (June 2004)
+
+The first preview release of SLIME.
+
