+changes in sbcl-1.0.10 relative to sbcl-1.0.9:
+ * optimization: member type construction is now O(N) instead
+ of O(N^2).
+ * optimization: UNION and NUNION are now O(N+M) for large
+ inputs as long as the :TEST function is one of EQ, EQL, EQUAL, or
+ EQUALP.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.9 relative to sbcl-1.0.8:
+ * minor incompatible change: SB-SYS:OUTPUT-RAW-BYTES is deprecated.
+ * enhancement: SB-EXT:FINALIZE accepts a :DONT-SAVE keyword argument,
+ indicating the finalizer should be cancelled when SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE
+ is called.
+ * enhancement: default PRINT-OBJECT methods for classes, slot-definitions,
+ and generic function now print the object identity for anonymous
+ instances. (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+ * enhancement: as an extension to MOP, SBCL now supports SETF of
+ STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS.
+ (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+ * enhancement: sb-cover has an alternate annotation mode which puts
+ the form annotations at the car of the form, instead of annotating
+ it completely. The benefit of this mode is that it shows better
+ which forms were instrumented by the compiler.
+ * bug fix: new compiler transforms for MEMBER and ASSOC were affected
+ by printer control variables. (reported by Dan Corkill)
+ * bug fix: system leaked memory when delayed output was performed by
+ the OS in smaller chunks then expected. (thanks to David Smith)
+ * bug fix: system leaked memory when file streams were not closed
+ properly.
+ * bug fix: large objects written to slow streams that were modified
+ after the write could end up with the modified state written to
+ the underlying file descriptor.
+ * bug fix: multiple threads operating in parallel on the same stream
+ could cause buffer-overflows.
+ * bug fix: source location information is stored correctly
+ (broken since 1.0.6). This bug would generally show up as the
+ Slime debugger higlighting the wrong form when the sldb-show-source
+ command was used.
+ * bug fix: Branch forms are again annotated as branches in the sb-cover
+ annotations.
+ * bug fix: GCD on MOST-NEGATIVE-FIXNUM no longer causes an infinite loop
+ on x86-64. (reported by Gregory Vanuxem)
+ * bug fix: EQUALP could return wrong results for structures with raw
+ slots (slots with a :TYPE of SINGLE-FLOAT, DOUBLE-FLOAT, or a machine
+ word). (reported by Vjacheslav Fyodorov)
+ * bug fix: sb-sprof sampling didn't work on non-x86oid platforms. (patch
+ by Pierre Mai)

changes in sbcl-1.0.8 relative to sbcl-1.0.7:
- * enhancement: closed over variables can be stack-allocated on x86 and
- x86-64.
- * bug fix: backtrace construction is now more careful when
- making lisp-objects from pointers on the stack, to avoid creating
- bogus objects that can be seen by the GC.
+ * enhancement: experimental macro SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP provides
+ atomic compare-and-swap operations on threaded platforms.
+ * enhancement: experimental function SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY
+ allows assining a global minimum value to optimization qualities
+ (overriding proclamations and declarations).
+ * enhancement: closed over variables can be stack-allocated on x86
+ and x86-64.
+ * performance bug fix: GETHASH and (SETF GETHASH) are once again
+ non-consing.
+ * optimization: slot definition lookup is now O(1). This speeds up
+ eg. SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) with variable slot names.
+ * optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS is now up to 60% faster for UTF-8.
+ * optimization: ASSOC and MEMBER can now be open-coded for all
+ combinations of keyword arguments when second argument is constant
+ and SPEED >= SPACE. In other cases a specialized version is
+ selected.
+ * bug fix: using obsoleted structure instances with TYPEP and
+ generic functions now signals a sensible error.
+ * bug fix: threads waiting on GET-FOREGROUND can be interrupted.
+ (reported by Kristoffer Kvello)
+ * bug fix: backtrace construction is now more careful when making
+ lisp-objects from pointers on the stack, to avoid creating bogus
+ objects that can be seen by the GC.
+ * bug fix: defaulting of values in contexts expecting more than 7
+ variables now works on x86-64. (reported by Christopher Laux)
+ * bug fix: modifications to packages (INTERN, EXPORT, etc) are now
+ thread safe.
+ * bug fix: (SETF SYMBOL-PLIST) no longer allows assigning a non-list
+ as the property-list of a symbol.
+ * bug fix: DEFMETHOD forms with CALL-NEXT-METHOD in the method body,
+ in EVAL-WHEN forms with both :COMPILE-TOPLEVEL and :LOAD-TOPLEVEL
+ situations requested, are once again file-compileable. (reported
+ by Sascha Wilde)
changes in sbcl-1.0.7 relative to sbcl-1.0.6:
* MOP improvement: support for user-defined subclasses of
