+changes in sbcl-1.0.5 relative to sbcl-1.0.4:
+  * incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
+    host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS
+    information anyway.
+  * minor incompatible change: changed experimental JOIN-THREAD interface
+  * documentation: the manual now lists reader and writer methods
+    in class slot documentation sections. (thanks to Richard M Kreuter)
+  * documentation: unwinding from asyncronous events has been
+    documented as unsafe.
+  * documentation: SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING has been documented as unsafe
+    in multithreaded application code.
+  * bug fix: number of characters that can be written onto a single
+    line in a file is unlimited.
+  * bug fix: GC deadlocks from asynchronous interrupts has been fixed
+    by disabling interrupts for the duration of any
+    SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING section.

 changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3:
   * new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS).

   * change: runtimes with embedded cores (i.e. saved with :EXECUTABLE T)
     don't print the startup banner, but behave as if --noinform was passed
     as a command line argument. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * new experimental feature: added JOIN-THREAD (by NIIMI Satoshi)
   * optimization: code using alien values with undeclared types is much faster.
   * optimization: the compiler is now able to open code SEARCH in more cases.
   * optimization: more compact typechecks on x86-64 (thanks to Lutz Euler)
