+changes in sbcl-1.0.5 relative to sbcl-1.0.4:
+ * incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
+ host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS
+ information anyway.
+ * minor incompatible change: changed experimental JOIN-THREAD interface
+ * documentation: the manual now lists reader and writer methods
+ in class slot documentation sections. (thanks to Richard M Kreuter)
+ * documentation: unwinding from asyncronous events has been
+ documented as unsafe.
+ * documentation: SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING has been documented as unsafe
+ in multithreaded application code.
+ * optimization: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME has been optimized on POSIX
+ platforms. (thanks to James Anderson for the optimization hint)
+ * optimization: REPLACE, SUBSEQ, and COPY-SEQ are now optimized in
+ more cases.
+ * optimization: STRING-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATER-P} and their NOT-
+ variants no longer cons.
+ * optimization: Direct calls to CHAR-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATERP} and
+ their NOT- variants no longer cons.
+ * optimization: EQUAL hash tables no longer use SXHASH for objects
+ of all data types, but instead use an EQL hash for types for which
+ EQUAL is the same as EQL
+ * optimization: the non-inlined generic versions of AREF and (SETF AREF)
+ are significantly faster
+ * enhancement: XREF information is now collected to references made
+ to global variables using SYMBOL-VALUE and a constant argument.
+ * enhancement: SIGINT now causes a specific condition
+ SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT to be signalled.
+ * bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY is now interrupt-safe.
+ * bug fix: adding and removing fd-handlers is now interrupt-safe.
+ * bug fix: inlined calls to C now ensure 16byte stack alignment on
+ x86/Darwin.
+ * bug fix: bad type declaration in the CLOS implementation has
+ been fixed. (reported by James Anderson)
+ * bug fix: incorrect ROOM reporting on x86-64 has been fixed.
+ (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * bug fix: DEFSETF now allows &ENVIRONMENT and disallows &AUX as
+ required by the CLHS. (reported by Samium Gromoff)
+ * bug fix: dead unbound variable references now signal an error.
+ (reported by Marco Monteiro)
+ * bug fix: / with an unused value was being deleted in safe code.
+ (thanks to Marco Monteiro and Kevin Reid)
+ * bug fix: number of characters that can be written onto a single
+ line in a file is unlimited.
+ * bug fix: some GC deadlocks caused by asynchronous interrupts have
+ been fixed by inhibiting interrupts for when GC is disbled.
+ * bug fix: GETHASH, (SETF GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH are now
+ interrupt safe.
+ * bug fix: binding *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS* to a value that is not a type
+ specifier no longer causes infinite recursion.
+ * bug fix: SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declarations no longer trigger a
+ bogus warning in DEFMETHOD bodies (reported by Kevin Reid)
+ * bug fix: an &environment argument with the correct variable information
+ is passed to macros that are expanded during byte compilation
+ (reported by Samium Gromoff)
+ * bug fix: a logic error was causing the hash function for bignums to
+ have excessive amounts of collisions (reported by Faré Rideau)
+ * bug fix: modifying the contents of an array could change the return
+ value of SXHASH on that array, which is only allowed for strings
+ and bit vectors (bug introduced in 0.9.16)
+ * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests and
+ should be considered non-experimental.
+ * improvement: a style-warning is signaled for CASE (etc) clauses with
+ duplicate keys (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3:
+ * new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS).
+ * incompatible change: the thread-safe (on most platforms) getaddrinfo
+ and getnameinfo sockets functions are used instead of gethostbyaddr
+ and gethostbyname, on platforms where the newer functions are available.
+ As a result, the ALIASES field of HOST-ENT will always be NIL on these
+ platforms.
+ * change: runtimes with embedded cores (i.e. saved with :EXECUTABLE T)
+ don't print the startup banner, but behave as if --noinform was passed
+ as a command line argument. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+ * new experimental feature: added JOIN-THREAD (by NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * optimization: code using alien values with undeclared types is much faster.
+ * optimization: the compiler is now able to open code SEARCH in more cases.
+ * optimization: more compact typechecks on x86-64 (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * bug fix: using standardized COMMON-LISP special variables as loop
+ variables no longer signals bogus package lock violations. (reported
+ by Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: declaring local loop variables to be of a range-limited type
+ such as (SINGLE-FLOAT 1.0 2.0) no longer causes a compile-time error.
+ (reported by Andras Simon)
+ * bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs. (Some NaN
+ bugs remain on x86-64.)
+ * bug fix: the #= and ## reader macros now interact reasonably with
+ funcallable instances.
+ * bug fix: type-checks for function arguments were compiled using the
+ compiler policy settings of the wrong lexical environment (in 1.0.2
+ and 1.0.3).
+ * bug fix: SHADOW accepts characters as string designators, as required
+ by the spec (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: fixed GC safety issues when foreign functions are called with
+ non-base strings as arguments
+ * bug fix: more consistent error output for fatal-compiler-warnings, like
+ reader errors
+ * bug fix: functions with proper names were showing up as NIL in
+ backtraces (reported by Edi Weitz, regression in 1.0.2)
+
changes in sbcl-1.0.3 relative to sbcl-1.0.2:
* new platform: NetBSD/PPC. (thanks to Aymeric Vincent)
* optimization: calls of the form (AREF FOO (+ INDEX <constant>)) now
