+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.51:
+  * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.017.
+  * enhancement: the --core command line option now accepts binaries with
+    an embedded core.
+  * enhancement: when built with :sb-core-compression, core files (regular
+    or executable) can be compressed with zlib.  Use the :COMPRESSION
+    argument to SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE to specify a compression level.
+  * enhancement: --[no-]merge-core-pages determines whether the runtime
+    hints the operating system that identical core pages between SBCL
+    processes should share the same physical memory.  Default is to only
+    enable this for compressed cores.
+  * optimization: SLEEP no longer conses.
+  * optimization: *PRINT-PRETTY* no longer slows down printing of strings
+    or bit-vectors when using the standard pretty-print dispatch table.
+  * bug fix: non-function FTYPE declarations no longer cause a compiler-error.
+    (lp#738464)
+  * bug fix: compiler-errors causes by MEMBER types in conjunction with with
+    AREF, CHAR, etc. (lp#826971)
+  * bug fix: compiler-errors causes by integer arguments with composed of
+    multiple ranges to ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P. (lp#826970)
+  * bug fix: ,@ and ,. now signal a read-time error for certain non-list
+    expressions. (lp#770184)
+  * bug fix: complex single float literals are correctly aligned when used
+    as arguments of arithmetic operators.
+  * bug fix: on 32-bit platforms, rounding of double floats larger than a
+    fixnum is correct.  (reported by Peter Keller)
+  * bug fix: stray FD-HANDLERs are no longer left lying around after unwinds
+    from RUN-PROGRAM.  (lp#840190, reported by Dominic Pearson; fix from Max
+    Mikhanosha)

+changes in sbcl-1.0.51 relative to sbcl-1.0.50:
   * minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKET socket streams no longer
     participate in SERVE-EVENT by default: pass :SERVE-EVENTS T to
     MAKE-SOCKET-STREAM if using SERVE-EVENT.

     (lp#822712).
   * enhancement: the Windows port of SBCL now builds and runs on Wine
     (thanks to Anton Kovalenko).
+  * enhancement: more, and more correct, SSE instruction definitions on
+    x86-64 (thanks to Alexander Gavrilov).
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:SPIN-LOOP-HINT assembles to an instruction designed
+    to help the processor execute spin loops, when applicable.  Currently
+    implemented for x86 and x86-64.
   * optimization: unsigned integer divisions by a constant are implemented
     using multiplication (affects CEILING, FLOOR, TRUNCATE, MOD, and REM.)
   * optimization: improved type-derivation for LOAD-TIME-VALUE.
