+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+  * enchancement: 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.
+  
+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.
