 changes in sbcl-1.0.6 relative to sbcl-1.0.5:
+  * new contrib: sb-cover, an experimental code coverage tool, is included
+    as a contrib module.
   * enhancement: a new, experimental synchronous timeout facility is
     provided. Refer to SB-SYS:WITH-DEADLINE for details.
   * enhancement: when a symbol name conflict error arises, the

+    also now more likely to work on CheneyGC builds on the PPC.)
+  * enhancement: Stepping support on MIPS.
   * incompatible change: PURIFY no longer copies the data from the 
     dynamic space into the static and read-only spaces on platforms
     that use the generational garbage collector
