+changes in sbcl-1.0.11 relative to sbcl-1.0.10:
+  * enhancement: CONS can now stack-allocate on x86 and
+    x86-64. (Earlier LIST and LIST* supported stack-allocation, but
+    CONS did not.)
+  * enhancement: nested lists can now be stack allocated on
+    platforms providing stack allocation support.
+  * enhancement: dynamic-extent support has been extended to support
+    cases where there are multiple possible sources for the stack
+    allocated value.
+  * bug fix: symbol-macro expansion now uses the *MACROEXPAND-HOOK*
+    as specified by the CLHS. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)

 changes in sbcl-1.0.10 relative to sbcl-1.0.9:
   * minor incompatible change: the MSI installer on Windows no longer
     associates .lisp and .fasl files with the installed SBCL.
   * minor incompatible change: :UNIX is no longer present in *FEATURES*
     on Windows. (thanks to Luis Oliviera)
+  * new feature: SB-CLTL2 contrib module now implements
+    FUNCTION-INFORMATION. (thanks to Larry D'Anna)
   * optimization: scavenging weak pointers is now more efficient,
     requiring O(1) instead of O(N) per weak pointer to identify
     scanvenged vs. unscavenged pointers. (thanks to Paul Khuong)
+  * optimization: typechecking (SETF SLOT-VALUE) is now ~5x faster in
+    method bodies using constant slot-names when the first argument is
+    a specializer parameter for the method.
   * optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are now ~50% faster for variable slot
     names, when the class of the instance is a direct instance
     STANDARD-CLASS or FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS (making them only 3x

   * bug fix: SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP was non-atomic unless the compiler
     was able to infer the correct argument type for the object on which
     the CAS operation was being performed.
+  * bug fix: copy propagation interfered with parallel assignment
+    semantics in local calls. (reported by Paul Khuong)
+  * bug fix: the signed modular fixnum shift compiled to wrong code on
+    x86 and x86-64.  (spotted by a slight modification to some of
+    PFD's random tests)
