+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.56:
+ * enhancement: FASL loading no longer grabs the world-lock.
+ * enhancement: GENCGC reclaims space more aggressively when objects being
+ allocated are a large fraction of the total available heap space.
+ (lp#936304)
+ * enhancement: backtraces show the correct number of arguments for frames
+ called with too many arguments.
+ * optimization: fewer uses of full calls to signed modular functions.
+ (lp#903821)
+ * optimization: typechecking alien values is typically 5 x faster.
+ * optimization: FDEFINITION, SYMBOL-FUNCTION, MACRO-FUNCTION, and FBOUNDP
+ are 20% faster.
+ * bug fix: fixed disassembly of some SSE instructions on x86-64.
+ * bug fix: SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS signals an error for bogus :CLASS arguments in
+ OPEN. (lp#969352, thanks to Kambiz Darabi)
+ * bug fix: CASE normal-clauses do not allow T and OTHERWISE as keys.
+ (lp#959687)
+ * bug fix: (SETF (FIND-CLASS X) NIL) removed proper name of the underlying
+ classoid even if X was not the proper name of the class. (lp#941102)
+ * bug fix: declaration leakage between lexical environments due to careless
+ use of NCONC in MAKE-LEXENV. (lp#924276)
+ * bug fix: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST now works when
+ *default-pathname-defaults* contains NAME or TYPE components.
+ * bug fix: PPRINT couldn't print improper lists with CARs being some symbols
+ from CL package, e.g. (loop . 10).
+ * bug fix: run-program with existent or non-existent files for :output or
+ :input when :if-output-exists or :if-input-does-not-exist are NIL properly
+ returns NIL instead of signalling an obscure error.
+ * bug fix: fix miscompilation of some logand forms with large constant
+ arguments. (lp#974406)
+ * bug fix: account for funcallable-instance objects properly in ROOM.
+ * bug fix: incorrect octets reported for c-string decoding errors.
+ (lp#985505)
+ * bug fix: miscompilation of LDB on the PowerPC platform. (thanks to Bruce
+ O'Neel)
+ * bug fix: better input error reporting for COMPILE-FILE. (lp#493380)
* documentation:
** improved docstrings: REPLACE (lp#965592)
