 changes relative to sbcl-1.0.57:
+  * enhancement: implicit generic function warnings now specify the package
+    in which the new generic function is being created.
   * enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-UPDATE makes it easy to perform non-destructive
     updates of CAS-able places (similar to Clojure's swap!).
+  * enhancement: run-program no longer decodes and re-encodes environment when
+    :environment argument is not provided. (lp#985904)
+  * enhancement: On SPARC, a limitation on the number of code constants
+    emittable by the compiler has been lifted, allowing certain long functions
+    to compiled and assembled which had previously been unsupported; fixes
+    cl-bench on this ISA (lp#1008996).
+  * optimization: On x86-64, code alignment of block headers is done with
+    multi-byte NOPs now instead of repetitions of the single-byte NOP.
+  * optimization: MAP-INTO is substantially faster when the target sequence is
+    of unknown type; mapping into lists is no longer O(N^2). (thanks to James
+    M. Lawrence)
+  * optimization: the compiler no longer heap-conses to check exits in cases
+    where the exit function is dynamic extent, or when it can prove the exit
+    function cannot escape.
+  * optimization: SB-SEQUENCE:DOSEQUENCE is faster on vectors of unknown
+    element type, and vectors that aren't SIMPLE-ARRAYs.
   * bug fix: potential for infinite recursion during compilation of CLOS slot
     typechecks when dependency graph had loops. (lp#1001799)
   * bug fix: error forms reported with some program-errors were not escaped
     properly.
+  * bug fix: functions from EVAL are now on more equal footing with functions
+    from COMPILE. (lp#1000783, lp#851170, lp#922408)
+  * bug fix: ENSURE-GENERIC-METHOD-COMBINATION accepts method combination
+    objects as its :METHOD-COMBINATION argument, not just lists designating
+    method combinations. (lp#936513)
+  * bug fix: run-program no longer unconditionally uses /tmp/ for temporary
+    files. (lp#968837).
+  * bug fix: restore build on solaris/sparc. (lp#1008506)
+  * bug fix: an issue with LDB in the PowerPC backend has been resolved;
+    this fixes an issue found with cl-postgres (thanks to Tomas Hlavaty).

     ** bug fix: the distribution of random integers is now completely
        uniform even when the specified limit is not a power of two.

     ** RANDOM on large integer arguments is generally faster and conses
        less than before; this is visible for fixnums above a length of
        about 24 bits, but extremely so for bignums: the old implementation
