 changes in sbcl-0.8.11 relative to sbcl-0.8.10:
+  * minor incompatible change: the sb-grovel contrib now treats C
+    structures as alien (in the sense of SB-ALIEN) objects rather than
+    as undistinguished (simple-array (unsigned-byte 8) (*))s.  This
+    has implications for memory management of client code
+    (sb-grovel-returned objects must now be manually managed) and for
+    type safety (alien objects now have full types).
   * new feature: the SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration should be
     used to control emission of compiler diagnostics, rather than the
     SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS OPTIMIZE quality.  See the manual for
     documentation on this feature.  The SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS
     quality should be considered deprecated.
+  * install.sh now installs the user manual as well
+  * (not quite a new documentable feature, but worth considering in
+    the light of the new SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration): the
+    beginnings of a semantically meaningful condition hierarchy is
+    under development, for use in SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS and by
+    IDEs.
+  * fixed bug: PARSE-NAMESTRING now accepts any valid pathaname
+    designator as the defaults argument.
+  * fixed bug: Displaced arrays whose displaced-to array has become
+    too small now cause ARRAY-DIMENSION to signal an error, providing
+    for safer bounds-checking. (reported by Bruno Haible)
+  * fixed bug: DEFCLASS slot definitions with identical :READER and
+    :WRITER names now signal a reasonable error. (reported by Thomas
+    Burdick)
   * fixed bug: CLOSE :ABORT T on appending stream no longer causes
     file deletion.
   * fixed bug: Invalid slot specification errors now print correctly.

   * fixed bug: as reported by Juan Ripoll on cmucl-imp,
     MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND should be able to lexically bind lambda list
     keywords.
+  * fixed bugs 280 and 312: the checking for multiple definitions in a
+    file is less likely to become confused by uses of inline
+    functions.
+  * fixed bug: the #S reader macro performs the keyword coercion
+    specified for slot names.  (reported by Kalle Niemitalo)
+  * fixed bug: lambda lists may contain symbols whose names start with
+    & but are not lambda-list-keywords; their occurrence triggers a
+    STYLE-WARNING.
+  * fixed bug 321: define-method-combination argument lambda lists do
+    not cause invalid code to be generated when &optional or &aux
+    variables have default values.  (reported by Bruno Haible)
+  * fixed bug 327: system subclasses of STRUCTURE-OBJECT or CONDITION
+    have CLOS classes; this appears also to have fixed reported
+    instability in stack exhaustion detection.
+  * fixed bug: the CONTROL-ERROR from ABORT, CONTINUE and
+    MUFFLE-WARNING when no associated restart is present is now
+    printable.
   * optimization: rearranged the expansion of various defining macros
     so that each expands into only one top-level form in a
     :LOAD-TOPLEVEL context; this appears to decrease fasl sizes by
     approximately 10%.
+  * optimization: used a previously little-used slot in symbols to
+    cache SXHASH values, yielding a 5-10% compiler speedup.  (thanks
+    to Juho Snellman)
