-changes relative to sbcl-1.0.58:
+changes in sbcl-1.1.0 relative to sbcl-1.0.58:
+  * enhancement: New variable, sb-ext:*disassemble-annotate* for controlling
+    source annotation of DISASSEMBLE output. Defaults to T.
+  * enhancement: TIMEOUT arguments added to WITH-MUTEX and WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK, and
+    WAIT-P argument added to WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK.
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-PUSH and SB-EXT:ATOMIC-POP allow atomic operations
+    on list heads.
+  * enhancement: Optional features (not enabled by default) allow the
+    use of signals for inter-thread synchronization to be reduced on certain
+    supported platforms (currently Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD on x86 and
+    x86-64).  Set (and :sb-thread :sb-safepoint :sb-thruption :sb-wtimer)
+    to test these experimental features.  Known remaining bugs include minor
+    thread safety issues, less timely freeing of memory by GC, and certain
+    (not yet optimally low) runtime overhead.  Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.
   * optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT of lists are faster and use fewer
     comparisons, particularly on almost-sorted inputs.
+  * bug fix: Reading floats with large exponents no longer takes too much time
+    before reporting that the exponent is too large.
+  * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:SOCKET-RECEIVE with a UDP socket now works
+    correctly when the received datagram is larger than the provided buffer.
+    (lp#1023438, thanks to Robert Uhl)
+  * bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION returned a bogus read-form when given
+    a SYMBOL-VALUE form with a constant symbol argument.
+  * bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION signaled an error when a macro expanding
+    into a DEFCAS defined place was used as the place.
+  * bug fix: FIND and POSITION signaled a type-error when non-bits where looked
+    for from bit-vectors.
+  * bug fix: a race condition around thread creation could (in SBCL 1.0.57)
+    lead to internal errors or crashes (lp#1058799).
   * documentation: a section on random number generation has been added to the
     manual. (lp#656839)
