+changes in sbcl-0.9.18 (1.0.beta?) relative to sbcl-0.9.17:
+  * enhancement: SB-POSIX now supports cfsetispeed(3), cfsetospeed(3),
+    cfgetispeed(3), cfgetospeed(3), and related constants. (thanks to
+    Max-Gerd Retzlaff)
   * bug fix: two potential GC deadlocks affecting threaded builds.
   * bug fix: (TYPEP #\A '(NOT (MEMBER #\" #\{ #\:))) now correctly
     returns T (reported by Anton Kazennikov)
   * bug fix: the STORE-VALUE restart of CHECK-TYPE works correctly
     with non-variable places
+  * bug fix: remove a race condition in the setting of
+    funcallable-instance functions, this should make threaded CLOS
+    code more stable against memory faults.
+  * bug fix: corruption of specials when unbinding is interrupted by an
+    asynchronous unwind (reported by Hannu Koivisto)
   * improvement: the debugger will now also display local variables that
     are only used once, for code compiled with a DEBUG optimization quality
     of 2 or higher.
