+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 getnameinfo sockets functions are used instead of gethostbyaddr
+    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.
+  * 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: the #= and ## reader macros now interact reasonably with
+    funcallable instances.
+  * bug fix: type-checks for function arguments were compiled using the
+    compiler policy settings of the wrong lexical environment (in 1.0.2
+    and 1.0.3).
+  * bug fix: SHADOW accepts characters as string designators, as required
+    by the spec (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+  * bug fix: fixed GC safety issues when foreign functions are called with
+    non-base strings as arguments
+  * bug fix: more consistent error output for fatal-compiler-warnings, like
+    reader errors
+  * bug fix: functions with proper names were showing up as NIL in
+    backtraces (reported by Edi Weitz, regression in 1.0.2)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.3 relative to sbcl-1.0.2:
+  * new platform: NetBSD/PPC.  (thanks to Aymeric Vincent)
+  * 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.
+  * bug fix: references to undefined variables are handled the same way
+    in toplevel forms as in the normal compiler
+  * bug fix: the build scripts again work with non-bash /bin/sh (thanks
+    to Magnus Henoch)
+  * bug fix: use "gtar" as the asdf-install *TAR-PROGRAM* on NetBSD
+    (thanks to Jon Buller)
+  * improvement: faster compilation times for complex functions
+  * improvement: added readlink support to SB-POSIX (thanks to Richard
+    M Kreuter)
