+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+  * enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
+    functions, like LENGTH.
+  * optimization: calls to static functions on x86-64 use less instructions.
+  * optimization: compute encode-universal-time at compile time when possible.
+  * optimization: when referencing internal functions as #'x, don't go through
+    an indirect fdefn structure.
+  * optimization: SLEEP doesn't cons on non-immediate floats and on ratios.
+  * optimization: (mod fixnum) type-checks are performed using one unsigned
+    comparison, instead of two.
+  * bug fix: problems with NCONC type derivation (reported by Jerry James).
+  * bug fix: EXPT type derivation no longer constructs bogus floating-point
+    types.  (reported by Vsevolod Dyomkin)
+  * bug fix: sb-bsd-sockets has correct declaration of the canonname field of
+    addrinfo. (lp#1187041, patch by Jerry James)
+  * bug fix: uninitialized type-error conditions can now be printed.
+    (lp#1184586)
+  * bug fix: tests for sb-bsd-sockets no longer use a predefined port for
+    listening, allowing several tests to run in parallel.
+  * bug fix: during disassembly to *COMPILER-TRACE-OUTPUT* instruction
+    prefixes as used on x86 and x86-64 no longer sometimes print incorrectly.
+    (lp#1085729)
+  * bug fix: Specialised SIMD-PACK types can be negated.

+changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
   * notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
     ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
     rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.

     about a constant NIL (similar for non-EQ-comparable catch tags).
   * bug fix: Referring to INLINE global functions as values should not result
     in a compilation failure. (lp#1035721)
-  * bug fix: Known-safe vector access on x86oids should not fail spuriously
-    when the index is of the form (+ x constant-positive-integer).
   * optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
   * optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
   * optimization: On x86-64, the number of multi-byte NOP instructions used
