 changes in sbcl-0.8.11 relative to sbcl-0.8.10:
+  * new feature: the SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration should be
+    used to control emission of compiler diagnostics, rather than the
+    SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS OPTIMIZE quality.  See the manual for
+    documentation on this feature.  The SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS
+    quality should be considered deprecated.
+  * fixed bug 320: Shared to local slot value transfers in class 
+    redefinitions now happen corrently from superclasses as
+    well. (reported by Bruno Haible)
   * fixed bug 316: SHIFTF now accepts VALUES forms. (reported by Bruno
     Haible)
   * fixed bug 322: DEFSTRUCT :TYPE LIST type predicates now handle

   * fixed bug: as reported by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo on #lisp IRC,
     don't warn on legal loop code involving more than one aggregate
     boolean.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * fixed bug: as reported by Peter Graves on #lisp IRC, passing a NIL
+    in keyword position to MAKE-PACKAGE was not being reported as
+    invalid.
   * optimization: rearranged the expansion of various defining macros
     so that each expands into only one top-level form in a
     :LOAD-TOPLEVEL context; this appears to decrease fasl sizes by
     approximately 10%.
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** MAKE-INSTANCES-OBSOLETE returns the class name when called with 
+       a symbol.
+    ** Fixed an optimization bug related to inheritance of initforms
+       from local to shared slots.
     ** FILE-POSITION works as specified on BROADCAST-STREAMs.
     ** CAST optimizer forgot to flush argument derived type.
     ** print/read consistency on floats is now orders of magnitude
        more likely.  (thanks also to Bruno Haible for a similar report
        and discussions)
     ** removed stack cleaning in the cleanup part of UNWIND-PROTECT.
+    ** IMAGPART is specified (infelicitously) to return (* 0 <thing>)
+       for objects of type REAL.  Make it so.
+    ** SXHASH is specified (infelicitously) to respect similarity,
+       which means that (SXHASH 0.0) must equal (SXHASH -0.0).  Make
+       it so.  (thanks to Markus Ziegler)
+    ** on the Alpha, the compiler succeeds in compiling functions
+       returning a known number of arguments greater than 63.
