+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)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.26 relative to 1.0.25:
+  * incompatible change: an interruption (be it a function passed to
+    INTERRUPT-THREAD or a timer function) runs in an environment where
+    interrupts can be enabled. The interruption can use
+    WITH-INTERRUPTS or WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS as it sees fit. Use
+    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.
+  * new feature: runtime option --disable-ldb
+  * new feature: runtime option --lose-on-corruption to die at the
+    slightest hint of possibly non-recoverable errors: running out of
+    memory, stack, alien stack, binding stack, encountering a memory
+    fault, etc. In the absence of --lose-on-corruption a warning is
+    printed to stderr.
+  * 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.
+  * bug fix: INTERRUPT-THREAD on a dying thread could produce memory
+    fault.
+  * bug fix: finalizers, gc hooks never run in a WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS
+  * bug fix: fix random memory faults related to interrupts on alpha
+  * bug fix: fix random memory faults related to interrupts on sparc
+  * bug fix: fix deadlocks related to starting threads
+  * bug fix: fix deadlines on locks on futex platforms
+  * bug fix: restore errno in signal handlers
+  * bug fix: fix deadlocks related to hash tables
+  * bug fix: fix deadlocks in pcl

 changes in sbcl-1.0.25 relative to 1.0.24:
   * incompatible change: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-ARGLIST is deprecated, to be
     removed later. Please use SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-LAMBDA-LIST instead.
