+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.42
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:WORD type is provided for use with SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF
+    &co.
+  * enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.004. (lp#605260, thanks to
+    Faré Rideau)
+  * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:SOCKET-CONNECT was not thread safe. (lp#505497,
+    thanks to Andrew Golding)
+  * bug fix: DOTIMES accepted literal non-integer reals. (lp#619393, thanks to
+    Roman Marynchak)
+  * bug fix: WRITE-TO-STRING compiler macro binding special variable names,
+    breaking code that tried to write the value of a printer control variable.
+    (lp#581564, thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+  * bug fix: WRITE compiler macro did not handle output stream designators
+    correctly. (lp#598374, thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+  * bug fix: better availability of names of foreign functions in backtraces
+    on Linux. (lp#626962, thanks to Stas Boukarev)

+    Josh Elsasser)
+  * bug fix: build fixes for OpenBSD -current and 4.8 (lp#615489, thanks to
+    Josh Elsasser)
+  * bug fix: using aliases for builtin classes as defmethod specializers
+    without adding DEFTYPEs for them works. (lp#618387)
+  * bug fix: timetravel by getrusage() no longer causes type-errors during GC.
+    (lp#544421)
+  * bug fix: legally dynamic-extent lists and vectors used as
+    initialization arguments to MAKE-ARRAY can be stack allocated. (lp#586105)

+changes in sbcl-1.0.42 relative to sbcl-1.0.41
+  * build changes
+    ** Cross-compilation host is now specified to make.sh using
+       command-line argument --xc-host=<command> instead of a positional
+       argument. (thanks to Daniel Herring)
+    ** Install location can be specified to make.sh using command-line
+       argument --prefix=<path>. (lp#550889s, thanks to Daniel Herring)
+  * optimization: The default implementation of
+    COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION does much less wasted work.
+  * enhancement: Explicit memory barrier operations are now available for use
+    by multithreaded code.  See documentation for details.
+  * enhancement: Experimental support for threading on Linux/PPC.
+  * bug fix: RENAME-PACKAGE returns the package.  (Thanks to Eric Marsden)
+  * bug fix: EXPT signals an error if first argument is a zero and second
+    argument is a floating point zero. (lp#571581, thanks to Roman Marynchak)
+  * bug fix: DEFTYPE signals an error for non-list lambda-lists.
+    (lp#576594, thanks to Roman Marynchak)
+  * bug fix: make ASDF-INSTALL compatible with the now-included ASDF2.
+    (lp#612998, reported by Phil Hargett; patch from Jim Wise)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.41 relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
+  * optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
+    cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
+    COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
+  * optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
+    CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
+    if it exists.
+  * bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.40 relative to sbcl-1.0.39:
+  * bug fix: readdir now works on :inode64 darwin builds (lp#592897)
+  * bug fix: Name conflicts between symbols passed as arguments to a single
+    call to IMPORT no longer add multiple symbols with the same name to the
+    package (detectable via DO-SYMBOLS).
+  * bug fix: support building without the dlshim on darwin x86 and x86-64
+    (lp#533470).
+  * bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL now works on ppc/linux.

   * bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64 now show
     the calling frame.

   * bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
   * bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than about 32767
     now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
+  * bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and conversions) in the
