-changes relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
-  * enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant 
+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
+  * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
+    the working directory of the spawned process.
+    (lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
+  * enhancement: vectors can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
+  * enhancement: "fixed objects" can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
+  * enhancement: WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS no longer conses on PPC/GENCGC.
+  * enhancement: (sb-introspect:find-definition-sources-by-name x :vop) now
+    also returns VOPs which do not translate any functions.
+  * bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
+    of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
+    (lp#1096444)
+  * bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
+    sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
+    decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
+  * bug fix: Loading a core with a discontiguous dynamic space now correctly
+    computes the amount of dynamic space used.
+  * bug fix: disassembler missing ",8" on SHLD
+  * optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
+  * optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
+  * enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
+    (lp#457053)
+  * bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
+    (lp#1049404)
+  * bug fix: redefining conditions does not lead to multiple evaluations of
+    hairy slot initfunctions anymore (lp#1164969)
+  * bug fix: CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS now works for condition classes
+    (lp#1164970)
+  * bug fix: function constants now work as initforms and default initarg
+    values of conditions (lp#539517)
+  * bug fix: svref/(setf svref) on symbol macros don't crash the compiler
+    anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
+  * bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
+    forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
+  * bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function)
+    "doc").  Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation
+    of NIL for all other documentation types.  (Reported by Zach
+    Beane; regression since 2e52fa05.)
+  * bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
+    should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination.  (Reported by 
+    Eric Marsden).
+  * bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
+    the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
+    robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
+  * optimization: LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.6 relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
+  * enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant
     fndb entries can be ignored by passing :overwrite-fndb-silently t
     as a keyword argument to sb-c:defknown (after attributes). Useful
     to allow defknown to be re-loaded. Use with :allow-other-keys t
     for backward compatibility.
+  * optimization: compiler is much faster in compiling SVREF and (SETF SVREF)
+    forms.
   * bug fix: Prevent a make-array transform from modifying source forms
     causing problems for inlined code. Thanks to Bart Botta.
-   (regression since 1.0.42.11-bis)
+    (regression since 1.0.42.11-bis)
   * bug fix: clear-output calls the correct gray stream routine,
     sb-gray:stream-clear-output. (lp#1153257)
+  * bug fix: an error is signalled for an invalid format modifier: ~<~@>.
+    (lp#1153148)
+  * bug fix: Better error messages for package operations (lp#1154776)
+  * bug fix: delete-package on a nonexistent package should signal a cerror.
+    (regression since 1.0.37.44).
+  * bug fix: accessing &MORE (stack allocated &REST) arguments checks bounds.
+    (lp#1154946, lp#1072112)
+  * bug fix: compiling make-array no longer signals an error when the
+    element-type is an uknown type, a warning is issued instead.
+    Thanks to James Kalenius (lp#1156095)
+  * bug fix: SEARCH on generic (non-VECTOR non-LIST) sequence types no longer
+    produces wrong results for some inputs.  (Thanks to Jan Moringen.)
+    (lp#1153312)
 
 changes in sbcl-1.1.5 relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
   * minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING no longer loops
