+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.9:
+  * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 3.0.2.
+  * bug fix: Compiling potential modularic arithmetic forms does not cause type
+    errors when some integer types lack lower or upper bounds. (lp#1199127)
+  * bug fix: Non-trivial modular arithmetic forms are always cut to the right
+    bitwidth before being used in a non-modular context. (lp#1199428)

+changes in sbcl-1.1.9 relative to sbcl-1.1.8:
+  * new feature: the contrib SB-GMP links with libgmp at runtime to speed
+    up arithmetic on bignums and ratios.  (contributed by Stephan Frank)
+  * enhancement: disassemble now annotates some previously missing static
     functions, like LENGTH.
+  * enhancement: clean.sh now also cleans doc/internals.
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:PRINT-SYMBOL-WITH-PREFIX can be used within ~// to
+    print a symbol with a package prefix.
+  * enhancement: The debugger and backtracing are more robust against buggy
+    PRINT-OBJECT methods.
   * 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.
+  * optimization: enable more modular arithmetic transforms in the presence of
+    conditionals.
+  * optimization: bitwise OR forms can now trigger modular arithmetic as well,
+    when the result is known to be negative.
+  * optimization: recognize more cases of useless LOGAND/LOGIOR with constants.
+  * optimization: comparisons between rationals and constant floats or between
+    integers and constant ratios are now converted to rationals/integers at
+    compile time.
+  * optimization: Smaller and faster DOUBLE-FLOAT-LOW-BITS on x86-64.
   * 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)
