+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
+  * enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
+    stack frame thrown from.
+  * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
+    constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
+    access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
+  * optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
+    storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
+    for accessing such arrays.
+  * optimization: passing NIL as the environment argument to TYPEP no longer
+    inhibits optimizing it. (lp#309788)
+  * bug fix: Fix compiler error involving MAKE-ARRAY and IF forms
+    in :INITIAL-CONTENTS. (lp#523612)
+  * bug fix: FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION lost declarations from interpreted
+    functions. (lp#524707)
+  * bug fix: bogus style warnings from certain (SETF SLOT-VALUE) and
+    WITH-SLOTS usages during compilation.
+  * bug fix: SB-C::CLASS-INFO now prints correctly (lp#514762)
+  * enhancement: Can now build with ud2 instead of int3 as trap instruction on
+    all x86oid platforms (except win32) with :UD2-BREAKPOINTS target feature.
+  * bug fix: Breakpoints now work when using ud2 instead of int3 as trap
+    instruction (tested on x86oid linux with ud2-breakpoints).

+changes in sbcl-1.0.36 relative to sbcl-1.0.35:
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-1, SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND, and
+    SB-EXT:TYPEXPAND-ALL behave exactly like their MACROEXPAND counterparts
+    but work on type specifiers.
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINED-TYPE-NAME-P returns whether a symbol is known
+    to name a type specifier.
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:VALID-TYPE-SPECIFIER-P returns whether a given type
+    specifier is valid where "valid" basically means "would be accepted as
+    second argument of TYPEP".
   * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-TYPE takes a function-designator and
     returns the function's declared, or derived FTYPE.
   * new feature: SB-POSIX now supports accessing the d_ino member of
     dirent structures.  (Thanks to Philipp Marek and Pierre THEIRRY)
-  * new feature: MAKE-RANDOM-STATE has been extended to accept octet vectors,
-    (SIMPLE-ARRAY (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) (*)), and UNSIGNED-BYTE arguments in
-    addition to the ones documented in the language specification.  Also,
-    (MAKE-RANDOM-STATE T) will attempt to initialize the returned state
-    from the operating system's PRNG where possible.  (Thanks to
-    Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#310116)
+  * new feature: The function SB-EXT:SEED-RANDOM-STATE has been added to
+    provide for seeding a RANDOM-STATE object with user-provided data or
+    from the operating system's PRNG.  Also, (MAKE-RANDOM-STATE T) will
+    attempt to initialize the returned state from the operating system's
+    PRNG where possible.  (Thanks to Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#310116)
   * bug fix: Fix SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS:READ-VECTOR to correctly set the
     FILE-POSITION of the stream being read from.  (launchpad bug lp#491087)
-  * bug fix: Fix grammer and style issues for the docstrings of
+  * bug fix: Fix grammar and style issues for the docstrings of
     printer-related variables and functions.  (Thanks to mon_key; launchpad
     bug lp#518696)
-  * bug fix: fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
+  * bug fix: Fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
     Bruce O'Neel.
   * bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT sometimes signaled a deadline twice 
     in a row even though a handler defered the deadline long into the
     future. (lp#512914)
-  * bug fix: a deadline handler was run without interrupts enabled for a
+  * bug fix: A deadline handler was run without interrupts enabled for a
     deadline signaled within SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT. That could result
     in infinitely spinning, non-killable threads.
-  * bug fix: backtrace from internal-errors on x86-64 os x was truncated
+  * bug fix: Backtrace from internal-errors on x86-64 os x was truncated
     before reaching the erring stack frame.
+  * bug fix: Fix type derivation for EXPT when raising a fixnum to a
+    real power.  (launchpad bug lp#525949)
+  * bug fix: Fix SB-EXT:GENERATION-* accessors for generations > 0 on
+    GENCGC platforms.  (launchpad bug lp#529014)
+  * bug fix: More robust checks for invalid DEFMETHOD argument specializers.
+    (launchpad bug lp#525916)
+  * bug fix: Fix building on Darwin when sysctl is not in the user's PATH.
+    (Thanks to Robert Goldman)
