 changes in sbcl-1.0.17 relative to 1.0.16:
+  * temporary regression: user code can no longer allocate closure
+    variable storage on stack, due to bug 419 without explicitly
+    requesting it. Please consult sbcl-devel for advice if you need to
+    use this feature in the meanwhile.
+  * new feature: runtime argument --control-stack-size can be used to
+    adjust thread default control stack size.
+  * optimization: ADJOIN and PUSHNEW are upto ~70% faster in normal
+    SPEED policies.
+  * optimization: APPEND is upto ~10% faster in normal SPEED policies.
+  * optimization: two argument forms of LAST are upto ~10% faster
+    in normal SPEED policies.
+  * optimization: NCONC no longer needs to heap cons its &REST list
+    in normal SPEED policies.
+  * bug fix: result of MAKE-ARRAY can be stack allocated - regression
+    since 1.0.15.36. (thanks to Paul Khuong)
+  * bug fix: bogus errors when generating certain code sequences, due
+    to the compiler not accepting ANY-REG for primitive type T on x86
+    and x86-64. (reported by Stelian Ionescu.)
+  * bug fix: LAST when always returned the whole list when given a bignum
+    as the second argument.
   * bug fix: dynamic extent allocation of nested lists and vectors
     could leak to otherwise accessible parts.
   * bug fix: invalid optimization of heap-allocated alien variable
