+changes in sbcl-1.0.9 relative to sbcl-1.0.8:
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-SYS:OUTPUT-RAW-BYTES is deprecated.
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:FINALIZE accepts a :DONT-SAVE keyword argument,
+ indicating the finalizer should be cancelled when SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE
+ is called.
+ * enhancement: default PRINT-OBJECT methods for classes, slot-definitions,
+ and generic function now print the object identity for anonymous
+ instances. (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+ * bug fix: new compiler transforms for MEMBER and ASSOC were affected
+ by printer control variables. (reported by Dan Corkill)
+ * bug fix: system leaked memory when delayed output was performed by
+ the OS in smaller chunks then expected. (thanks to David Smith)
+ * bug fix: system leaked memory when file streams were not closed
+ properly.
+ * bug fix: large objects written to slow streams that were modified
+ after the write could end up with the modified state written to
+ the underlying file descriptor.
+ * bug fix: multiple threads operating in parallel on the same stream
+ could cause buffer-overflows.

changes in sbcl-1.0.8 relative to sbcl-1.0.7:
* enhancement: experimental macro SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP provides
atomic compare-and-swap operations on threaded platforms.
and x86-64.
* performance bug fix: GETHASH and (SETF GETHASH) are once again
non-consing.
+ * optimization: slot definition lookup is now O(1). This speeds up
+ eg. SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) with variable slot names.
* optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS is now up to 60% faster for UTF-8.
+ * optimization: ASSOC and MEMBER can now be open-coded for all
+ combinations of keyword arguments when second argument is constant
+ and SPEED >= SPACE. In other cases a specialized version is
+ selected.
* bug fix: using obsoleted structure instances with TYPEP and
generic functions now signals a sensible error.
* bug fix: threads waiting on GET-FOREGROUND can be interrupted.
