+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)

+changes in sbcl-1.0.58 relative to sbcl-1.0.57:
* enhancement: implicit generic function warnings now specify the package
in which the new generic function is being created.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-UPDATE makes it easy to perform non-destructive
* optimization: On x86-64, code alignment of block headers is done with
multi-byte NOPs now instead of repetitions of the single-byte NOP.
* optimization: MAP-INTO is substantially faster when the target sequence is
- of unknown type; mapping into lists is no longer O(N^2). (thanks to James
- M. Lawrence)
+ of unknown type; mapping into lists is no longer O(N^2). (lp#1001043,
+ thanks to James M. Lawrence)
* optimization: the compiler no longer heap-conses to check exits in cases
where the exit function is dynamic extent, or when it can prove the exit
- function cannot escape.
+ function cannot escape. (lp#1002534)
* optimization: SB-SEQUENCE:DOSEQUENCE is faster on vectors of unknown
element type, and vectors that aren't SIMPLE-ARRAYs.
* optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT are more efficient in execution
* bug fix: FORMAT used to loop infinitely in some cases when a COLINC
parameter was zero, now it signals an error. (lp#905817, fixed since
1.0.56.19)
+ * bug fix: run-program with :pty t no longer makes the pty as the process's
+ controling terminal.
+ * bug fix: spawning threads on OS X 10.8 no longer crashes the process
+ (lp#1012811).
