+changes in sbcl-1.0.5 relative to sbcl-1.0.4:
+  * incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
+    host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS
+    information anyway.
+  * minor incompatible change: changed experimental JOIN-THREAD interface
+  * documentation: the manual now lists reader and writer methods
+    in class slot documentation sections. (thanks to Richard M Kreuter)
+  * documentation: unwinding from asyncronous events has been
+    documented as unsafe.
+  * documentation: SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING has been documented as unsafe
+    in multithreaded application code.
+  * bug fix: number of characters that can be written onto a single
+    line in a file is unlimited.
+  * bug fix: GC deadlocks from asynchronous interrupts has been fixed
+    by disabling interrupts for the duration of any
+    SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING section.
+
 changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3:
+  * new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS).
   * incompatible change: the thread-safe (on most platforms) getaddrinfo
     and getnameinfo sockets functions are used instead of gethostbyaddr
     and gethostbyname, on platforms where the newer functions are available.
     As a result, the ALIASES field of HOST-ENT will always be NIL on these
     platforms.
-  * bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs.
+  * change: runtimes with embedded cores (i.e. saved with :EXECUTABLE T)
+    don't print the startup banner, but behave as if --noinform was passed
+    as a command line argument. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * new experimental feature: added JOIN-THREAD (by NIIMI Satoshi)
+  * optimization: code using alien values with undeclared types is much faster.
+  * optimization: the compiler is now able to open code SEARCH in more cases.
+  * optimization: more compact typechecks on x86-64 (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+  * bug fix: using standardized COMMON-LISP special variables as loop
+    variables no longer signals bogus package lock violations. (reported
+    by Eric Marsden)
+  * bug fix: declaring local loop variables to be of a range-limited type
+    such as (SINGLE-FLOAT 1.0 2.0) no longer causes a compile-time error.
+    (reported by Andras Simon)
+  * bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs. (Some NaN
+    bugs remain on x86-64.)
   * bug fix: the #= and ## reader macros now interact reasonably with
     funcallable instances.
   * bug fix: type-checks for function arguments were compiled using the
     compiler policy settings of the wrong lexical environment (in 1.0.2
     and 1.0.3).
+  * bug fix: SHADOW accepts characters as string designators, as required
+    by the spec (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+  * bug fix: fixed GC safety issues when foreign functions are called with
+    non-base strings as arguments
+  * bug fix: more consistent error output for fatal-compiler-warnings, like
+    reader errors
+  * bug fix: functions with proper names were showing up as NIL in
+    backtraces (reported by Edi Weitz, regression in 1.0.2)
 
 changes in sbcl-1.0.3 relative to sbcl-1.0.2:
   * new platform: NetBSD/PPC.  (thanks to Aymeric Vincent)
