 changes relative to sbcl-1.0.50:
+  * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.017.
+  * enhancement: the --core command line option now accepts binaries with
+    an embedded core.
+  * optimization: SLEEP no longer conses.
+  * optimization: *PRINT-PRETTY* no longer slows down printing of strings
+    or bit-vectors when using the standard pretty-print dispatch table.
+  * bug fix: non-function FTYPE declarations no longer cause a compiler-error.
+    (lp#738464)
+  * bug fix: compiler-errors causes by MEMBER types in conjunction with with
+    AREF, CHAR, etc. (lp#826971)
+  * bug fix: compiler-errors causes by integer arguments with composed of multiple
+    ranges to ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P. (lp#826970)
+  * bug fix: ,@ and ,. now signal a read-time error for certain non-list
+    expressions. (lp#770184)

   * minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKET socket streams no longer
     participate in SERVE-EVENT by default: pass :SERVE-EVENTS T to
     MAKE-SOCKET-STREAM if using SERVE-EVENT.

   * optimization: unsigned integer divisions by a constant are implemented
     using multiplication (affects CEILING, FLOOR, TRUNCATE, MOD, and REM.)
   * optimization: improved type-derivation for LOAD-TIME-VALUE.
