+changes in sbcl-1.0.3 relative to sbcl-1.0.2:
+  * optimization: calls of the form (AREF FOO (+ INDEX <constant>)) now
+    produce more efficient code on the x86 if the compiler can determine
+    that (+ INDEX <constant>) does not require a bounds check and FOO
+    has an element type at least 8 bits wide.
+
 changes in sbcl-1.0.2 relative to sbcl-1.0.1:
   * improvement: experimental support for mach exception handling on
     x86/macos. requires building with :MACH-EXCEPTION-HANDLER feature
     to use.
   * improvement: support for GBK external format.
     (thanks to Chun Tian (binghe))
+  * improvement: the debugger now displays variables that have been closed
+    over, in code compiled with (DEBUG 2) or higher
+  * improvement: support for executable cores on NetBSD (thanks to 
+    Richard Kreuter)
+  * new feature: added a RESTART-FRAME debugger command
+  * new feature: new generic function SB-GRAY:STREAM-FILE-POSITION can 
+    be used to provide an implementation for FILE-POSITION on Gray streams
+    (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+  * new feature: add syslog, openlog and closelog support to SB-POSIX 
+    (thanks to Richard Kreuter)
+  * optimization: the function call overhead in code compiled with 
+    a high DEBUG optimization setting is significantly 
+  * bug fix: an error is signaled for attempts to use READ-SEQUENCE
+    for a (SIGNED-BYTE 8) stream and (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) vector, or vice versa.
+    (thanks to Tony Martinez)
+  * bug fix: the initforms for DEFMETHOD &AUX parameters are only
+    evaluated once (reported by Kevin Reid)
+  * bug fix: the :SHOW-PROGRESS keyword parameter to SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING
+    works again (thanks to Kilian Sprotte)
+  * bug fix: an error is signaled for tagbodies with duplicate tags 
+    (thanks to Stephen Wilson)
+  * bug fix: NIL can be used as a tagbody tag (thanks to Stephen Wilson)
+  * bug fix: Win32 port can now handle foreign code unwinding Lisp
+    stack frames from alien callbacks.
+  * bug fix: ATANH returned incorrect results on win32 (thanks to Pierre Mai)  
+  * bug fix: SBCL works on Linux/ppc systems with a kernel configured to use
+    65k pages (thanks to David Woodhouse)
+  * bug fix: fix SB-POSIX dirent and socket on NetBSD (thanks to Richard Kreuter)
 
 changes in sbcl-1.0.1 relative to sbcl-1.0:
   * new platform: FreeBSD/x86-64, including support for threading.
