 changes relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING no longer loops
+    by default.
   * new feature: package local nicknames. See manual for details.
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:MAP-DIRECTORY provides a powerful interface for
+    directory traversal: it is the backend used by SBCL for CL:DIRECTORY.
   * enhancement: easier to use restarts for resolving name-conflicts
     resulting from IMPORT, EXPORT, or USE-PACKAGE.

+  * enhancement: backtrace improvements
+    ** secondary CLOS dispatch functions have better debug names (lp#503081)
+    ** easier to read method names in backtraces. See
+       SB-DEBUG:*METHOD-FRAME-STYLE*.
+    ** SB-DEBUG:PRINT-BACKTRACE and SB-DEBUG:LIST-BACKTRACE are available as
+       forwards-compatible replacements for SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE and
+       SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST.
+    ** SB-DEBUG:*SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS** has been deprecated, as the same
+       information is available in less intrusive form as frame annotations.
+  * enhancement: SB-POSIX now provides MAP-ANON.
+  * enhancement: test-suite results are colorized, failures in red, unexpected
+    success in green. Works on Windows and on terminals with ANSI escape code
+    support. Can be disabled with --no-color.
+  * optimization: SB-CONCURRENCY:QUEUE implementation is more efficient.

   * bug fix: deleting a package removes it from implementation-package
     lists of other packages.
+  * bug fix: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING is now usable in the Slime REPL on Darwin.
+    This does not fix the occasional "interrupt already pending" issue, though.
+  * bug fix: (setf (documentation 'x 'function)) and
