+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.
+ * enhancement: XREF information is now collected to references made
+ to global variables using SYMBOL-VALUE with a constant argument.
+ * 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, PUTHASH, 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.
+ * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests and
+ should be considered non-experimental.

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 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: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs.
+ * 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
