+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+ * enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
+ functions, like LENGTH.
+ * optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
+ * optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
+ * optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
+ an indirect fdefn structure.
+ * optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
+ * optimization: (mod fixnum) type-checks are performed using one unsigned
+ comparison, instead of two.
+ * optimization: enable more modular arithmetic transforms in the presence of
+ conditionals.
+ * optimization: bitwise OR forms can now trigger modular arithmetic as well,
+ when the result is known to be negative.
+ * optimization: recognize more cases of useless LOGAND/LOGIOR with constants.
+ * optimization: comparisons between rationals and constant floats or between
+ integers and constant ratios are now converted to rationals/integers at
+ compile time.
+ * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
+ * bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
+ types. (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
+ * bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
+ addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
+ * bug fix: uninitialized type-error conditions can now be printed.
+ (lp#1184586)
+ * bug fix: tests for sb-bsd-sockets no longer use a predefined port for
+ listening, allowing several tests to run in parallel.
+ * bug fix: during disassembly to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* instruction
+ prefixes as used on x86 and x86-64 no longer sometimes print incorrectly.
+ (lp#1085729)
+ * bug fix: Specialised SIMD-PACK types can be negated.
+ * bug fix: Modular arithmetic is more robust. (incidentally fixes another bug
+ reported by Eric Marsden)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
+ * notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
+ ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
+ rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.
+ * new feature: minimal runtime/compiler intrastructure support for SSE
+ SIMD values, as SB-EXT:SIMD-PACK. Enabled on x86-64 via the build-time
+ feature :sb-simd-pack. This should enable intrinsics extensions as
+ libraries, without patching SBCL itself. Thanks to Alexander Gavrilov
+ for maintaining a branch for so long.
