 changes in sbcl-1.0.6 relative to sbcl-1.0.5:
+  * new contrib: sb-cover, an experimental code coverage tool, is included
+    as a contrib module.
+  * optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS for unibyte encodings and UTF-8 is
+    significantly faster.
   * enhancement: a new, experimental synchronous timeout facility is
     provided. Refer to SB-SYS:WITH-DEADLINE for details.
   * enhancement: when a symbol name conflict error arises, the
     conflicting symbols are always printed with a package prefix.
     (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * enhancement: stepping is now once again supported on the SPARC.  (It is
+    also now more likely to work on CheneyGC builds on the PPC.)
+  * enhancement: Stepping support on MIPS.
+  * enhancement: sb-sprof can now also track and report accurate call
+    counts.
   * incompatible change: PURIFY no longer copies the data from the 
     dynamic space into the static and read-only spaces on platforms
     that use the generational garbage collector

     a STYLE-WARNING to be signalled (regression from 1.0.4.)
   * bug fix: an asynchronous interrupt could previously leave the
     system running with GC inhibited.
+  * bug fix: a DECLARE form evaluated at top-level now causes an error
+    rather than silently (or verbosely) returning NIL.
+  * bug fix: trying to dissassemble functions compiled at high DEBUG could
+    result in a error being signalled due to source form lookup errors.
