 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)
