+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.55:
+ * bug fix: fix copy-structure. When copying from stack to heap, garbage
+ could end up in the heap making GC unhappy.
+ (Thanks to James Knight, lp#911027)
+ * enhancements
+ ** SBCL can now be built using Clang.
+ * bug fix: compiler errors when weakening hairy integer types. (lp#913232)
+ * bug fix: don't complain about a too-hairy lexical environment for inlining
+ when the function has never been requested for inlining. (lp#963530)

+changes in sbcl-1.0.55 relative to sbcl-1.0.54:
* enhancements to building SBCL using make.sh:
** --fancy can be specified to enable all supported feature enhancements.
** --with-<feature> and --without-<feature> can be used to specify
(Mainly useful for building 32-bit SBCL's on x86-64 hosts, not
full-blows cross-compilation.)
* enhancement: extended package prefix syntax <pkgname>::<form-in-package>
- which allows specifying the name of the package for a whole form.
+ which allows specifying name of the default interning package for the
+ whole form.
* enhancement: when *READ-EVAL* is true, arrays with element type other than
T can be printed readably using #.-based syntax. (Thanks to Robert Brown)
* enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN signals a storage-condition instead of returning a
* enhancement: SBCL now provides either an explicit :BIG-ENDIAN or
:LITTLE-ENDIAN in *FEATURES*, instead of :BIG-ENDIAN being implied by lack
of the :LITTLE-ENDIAN feature. (Thanks to Luís Oliveira, lp#901661)
+ * enhancement: better disassembly of segment-prefixes on x86 and other
+ instruction prefixes (e.g. LOCK) on x86 and x86-64.
+ * optimization: FIND and POSITION on bit-vectors are orders of magnitude
+ faster (assuming KEY and TEST are not used, or are sufficiently trivial.)
* optimization: SUBSEQ on vectors of unknown element type is substantially
faster. (lp#902537)
* optimization: specialized arrays with non-zero :INITIAL-ELEMENT can
- be stack-allocated. (lp#902351)
+ be stack-allocated. (lp#902351)
* optimization: the compiler is smarter about representation selection for
floating point constants used in full calls.
* optimization: the compiler no longer refuses to coerce large fixnums to
subtypes of CHARACTER that are forbidden according to ANSI. (lp#841312)
* bug fix: missing failure-to-stack-allocate compiler notes for some
forms of MAKE-ARRAY with dynamic-extent. (lp#902351)
+ * bug fix: some of the compile-time side-effects of DEFCLASS were not caught
+ by package locks.
