-changes relative to sbcl-1.1.6
+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
+  * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
+    the working directory of the spawned process.
+    (lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
+  * bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
+    of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
+    (lp#1096444)
+  * bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
+    sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
+    decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
+  * optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
+  * optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
+  * enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
+    (lp#457053)
+  * bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
+    (lp#1049404)
+  * bug fix: redefining conditions does not lead to multiple evaluations of
+    hairy slot initfunctions anymore (lp#1164969)
+  * bug fix: CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS now works for condition classes
+    (lp#1164970)
+  * bug fix: function constants now work as initforms and default initarg
+    values of conditions (lp#539517)
   * bug fix: svref/(setf svref) on symbol macros don't crash the compiler
     anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
   * bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
     forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
-  * bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function) "doc").
-    Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation of NIL
-    for all other documentation types.
-    Reported by Zach Beane. Regression since 2e52fa05.

+    of NIL for all other documentation types.  (Reported by Zach
+    Beane; regression since 2e52fa05.)
+  * bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
+    should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination.  (Reported by 
+    Eric Marsden).
+  * bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
+    the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
+    robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
+  * optimization: LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.
 
 changes in sbcl-1.1.6 relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
   * enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant
