+changes in sbcl-1.0.17 relative to 1.0.16:
+  * temporary regression: user code can no longer allocate closure
+    variable storage on stack, due to bug 419 without explicitly
+    requesting it. Please consult sbcl-devel for advice if you need to
+    use this feature in the meanwhile.
+  * new feature: runtime argument --control-stack-size can be used to
+    adjust thread default control stack size.
+  * enhancement: improved TIME output
+    ** all times are reported using the measured accuracy (milliseconds
+       for real and GC times, microseconds for everything else.)
+    ** processor cycle counts on x86 and x86-64.
+    ** interpreted forms are counted for both evaluator modes.
+    ** number of lambdas converted by the compiler is reported.
+    ** CPU percentage report (computed from real and total run time.)
+    ** more comprehensive run time reporting, using a condenced format
+    ** interperted form, lambda, and page fault counts are omitted
+       when zero.
+  * optimization: ADJOIN and PUSHNEW are upto ~70% faster in normal
+    SPEED policies.
+  * optimization: APPEND is upto ~10% faster in normal SPEED policies.
+  * optimization: two argument forms of LAST are upto ~10% faster
+    in normal SPEED policies.
+  * optimization: NCONC no longer needs to heap cons its &REST list
+    in normal SPEED policies.
+  * bug fix: UNION and NUNION work with :TEST-NOT once more,
+    regression since 1.0.9.1. (thanks to Eric Marsden)
+  * bug fix: result of MAKE-ARRAY can be stack allocated - regression
+    since 1.0.15.36. (thanks to Paul Khuong)
+  * bug fix: LAST when always returned the whole list when given a bignum
+    as the second argument.
+  * bug fix: dynamic extent allocation of nested lists and vectors
+    could leak to otherwise accessible parts.
+  * bug fix: invalid optimization of heap-allocated alien variable
+    reference.
+  * bug fix: fasl header checking is less vulnerable to different
+    platform word lengths.
+  * bug fix: more correct assembler syntax for GNU binutils
+    2.18.50.0.4 support.  (thanks to Marijn Schouten)
+  * bug fix: fix ECASE warnings from CMUCL-as-xc-host.  (reported by
+    Andreas Franke)
+
 changes in sbcl-1.0.16 relative to 1.0.15:
+  * minor incompatible change: revert the changes to sb-posix's error
+    signaling added in 1.0.14.
   * minor incompatible change: change PROBE-FILE back to returning
     NIL whenever we can't get a truename, as was the case before 1.0.14.
   * minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:NAME-SERVICE-ERROR now
