+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.56:
+  * enhancement: redesigned protocol for quitting SBCL. SB-EXT:EXIT is the new
+    main entry point, SB-EXT:QUIT is deprecated.
+  * enhancement: additions to the SB-THREAD API: RETURN-FROM-THREAD,
+    ABORT-THREAD, MAIN-THREAD-P, and MAIN-THREAD.
+  * enhancement: FASL loading no longer grabs the world-lock.
+  * enhancement: GENCGC reclaims space more aggressively when objects being
+    allocated are a large fraction of the total available heap space.
+    (lp#936304)
+  * enhancement: backtraces show the correct number of arguments for frames
+    called with too many arguments.
+  * optimization: fewer uses of full calls to signed modular functions.
+    (lp#903821)
+  * optimization: typechecking alien values is typically 5 x faster.
+  * optimization: FDEFINITION, SYMBOL-FUNCTION, MACRO-FUNCTION, and FBOUNDP
+    are 20% faster.
+  * bug fix: fixed disassembly of some SSE instructions on x86-64.
+  * bug fix: SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS signals an error for bogus :CLASS arguments in
+    OPEN. (lp#969352, thanks to Kambiz Darabi)
+  * bug fix: CASE normal-clauses do not allow T and OTHERWISE as keys.
+    (lp#959687)
+  * bug fix: (SETF (FIND-CLASS X) NIL) removed proper name of the underlying
+    classoid even if X was not the proper name of the class. (lp#941102)
+  * bug fix: declaration leakage between lexical environments due to careless
+    use of NCONC in MAKE-LEXENV. (lp#924276)
+  * bug fix: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST now works when
+    *default-pathname-defaults* contains NAME or TYPE components.
+  * bug fix: PPRINT couldn't print improper lists with CARs being some symbols
+    from CL package, e.g. (loop . 10).
+  * bug fix: run-program with existent or non-existent files for :output or
+    :input when :if-output-exists or :if-input-does-not-exist are NIL properly
+    returns NIL instead of signalling an obscure error.
+  * bug fix: fix miscompilation of some logand forms with large constant
+    arguments.  (lp#974406)
+  * bug fix: account for funcallable-instance objects properly in ROOM.
+  * bug fix: incorrect octets reported for c-string decoding errors.
+    (lp#985505)
+  * bug fix: miscompilation of LDB on the PowerPC platform.  (thanks to Bruce
+    O'Neel)
+  * bug fix: better input error reporting for COMPILE-FILE. (lp#493380)
+  * bug fix: default size of non-nursery generations has been shrunk on GENCGC,
+    allowing faster release of memory back to the OS. (lp#991293)
+  * bug fix: WITH-DEADLINE (:SECONDS NIL :OVERRIDE T) now drops any
+    existing deadline for the dynamic scope of its body.
+  * documentation:
+    ** improved docstrings: REPLACE (lp#965592)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.56 relative to sbcl-1.0.55:
+  * bug fix: fix copy-structure.  When copying from stack to heap, garbage
+    could end up in the heap making GC unhappy.
+    (Thanks to James Knight, lp#911027)
+  * enhancements
+    ** SBCL can now be built using Clang.
+    ** ASDF has been updated 2.20.
+  * bug fix: compiler errors when weakening hairy integer types. (lp#913232)
+  * bug fix: don't complain about a too-hairy lexical environment for inlining
+    when the function has never been requested for inlining.  (lp#963530)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.55 relative to sbcl-1.0.54:
   * enhancements to building SBCL using make.sh:
