+changes in sbcl-1.0.27 relative to 1.0.26:
+  * new port: support added for x86-64 OpenBSD. (thanks to Josh Elsasser)
+  * bug fix: a type error is signaled for attempts to use the LOOP
+    keyword ACROSS for a NIL value. (thanks to Daniel Lowe)

+  * incompatible change: an interruption (be it a function passed to

+    WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS to avoid nesting of interruptions and
+    potentially running out of stack. Keep in mind that in the absence
+    of WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS some potentially blocking operation such as
+    acquiring a lock can enable interrupts.
+  * incompatible change: GC-OFF and GC-ON are removed, as they were
     always unsafe. Use WITHOUT-GCING instead.

+  * enhancement: detect binding stack exhaustion
+  * enhancement: detect alien stack exhaustion on x86/x86-64
+  * improvement: generally more stable and reliable interrupt handling
+  * improvement: there is a per thread interruption queue,
+    interruptions are executed in order of arrival
+  * improvement: a repeating timer reschedules itself when the it has
+    finished, but expiration times are spaced equally. If an
+    expiration time is in the past it will trigger after a short grace
+    period that may give a chance to other things to run.
   * optimization: slightly faster gc on multithreaded builds
   * optimization: faster WITHOUT-GCING
+  * bug fix: when JOIN-THREAD signals an error, do it when not holding
+    important locks so that the debugger/handler doesn't produce
+    recursive errors or deadlock.
   * bug fix: real-time signals are not used anymore, so no more
     hanging when the system wide real-time signal queue gets full.
