 changes in sbcl-1.0.12 relative to sbcl-1.0.11:
+  * new feature: MAKE-HASH-TABLE now experimentally accepts a
+    :SYNCHRONIZED argument, which makes the hash-table safe for
+    concurrent accesses (but not iteration.) See also:
+    SB-EXT:WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE, and
+    SB-EXT:HASH-TABLE-SYNCHRONIZED-P.
+  * optimization: CONCATENATE on strings is an order of magnitue faster
+    in code compiled with (> SPEED SPACE)
+  * bug fix: if file compilation is aborted, the partial fasl is now
+    deleted, and COMPILE-FILE returns NIL as the primary value.
+  * bug fix: number of thread safety issues relating to SBCL's internal
+    hash-table usage have been fixed.
+  * bug fix: SB-SYS:WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS could cause garbage values to
+    be returned from its body when the values were being returned
+    using unknown-values return convection and the W-P-O was wrapped
+    inside an UNWIND-PROTECT.
   * bug fix: sb-posix should now compile again under Windows, enabling
     slime to work again.
