 changes in sbcl-0.8.10 relative to sbcl-0.8.9:
+  * Support for the forthcoming 2.0 version of the NetBSD kernel
+    running on x86 hardware has been added.  (thanks to Perry
+    E. Metzger most immediately, and others for their past work)
+  * SBCL now runs on OpenBSD 3.4. (Thanks to Scott Parish; 3.4 is the
+    current release version; SBCL's OpenBSD support had been broken 
+    since about the time of OpenBSD's switch to ELF binary format.)
   * [placeholder for DX summary]
     ** user code with &REST lists declared dynamic-extent, under high
        speed or space and low safety and debug optimization policy.
   * The manual has been converted to Texinfo format and the debugger
-    chapter from the cmucl manual has been added
+    chapter from the cmucl manual has been added.
   * A facility has been added to extract documentation strings from

     the manual (via Texinfo's @include directive)

+changes in sbcl-0.8.11 relative to sbcl-0.8.10:
+  * fixed bug 322: DEFSTRUCT :TYPE LIST type predicates now handle
+    improper lists correctly. (reported by Bruno Haible)
+  * fixed bug 313: source-transform for <fun-name> was erroneously
+    applied to a call of a value of a variable with name <fun-name>.
+    (reported by Antonio Menezes Leitao)
+  * fixed bug 307: The obsolete instance protocol ensures that
+    subclasses are properly obsoleted.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * on X86 fixed bug 298, revealed by Paul F. Dietz' test suite: SBCL
+    can remove dead unknown-values globs from the middle of the stack.
+  * added a new restart to *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS* handling to make it
+    easier to resume long computations after using *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS*
+    to diagnose and fix failures.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * fixed bug reported by PFD in lisppaste #747 (and Bruno Haible from
+    CLISP test suite): WRITE-TO-STRING is not constant-foldable.
+  * fixed bugs in COMPLEX type specifier: UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE
+    is now consistent with (COMPLEX <x>); bugs in treatment of COMPLEX
+    MEMBER and UNION types have likewise been fixed.  (thanks to Bruno
+    Haible)
+  * fixed a (fairly theoretical) bug in string printing: if
+    *PRINT-READABLY* is true, signal PRINT-NOT-READABLE if the string
+    does not have array-element-type equal to the most general string
+    type.
+  * fixed bug: SET-PPRINT-DISPATCH does not immediately resolve
+    function name. (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * fixed bug: compile-time format string checker failed on
+    non-closed ~{.  (reported by Thomas F Burdick)
+  * fixed bug: as reported by Kalle Olavi Niemitalo on #lisp IRC,
+    don't warn on legal loop code involving more than one aggregate
+    boolean.  (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * optimization: rearranged the expansion of various defining macros
+    so that each expands into only one top-level form in a
+    :LOAD-TOPLEVEL context; this appears to decrease fasl sizes by
+    approximately 10%.
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** FILE-POSITION works as specified on BROADCAST-STREAMs.
+    ** CAST optimizer forgot to flush argument derived type.
+    ** print/read consistency on floats is now orders of magnitude
+       more likely.  (thanks also to Bruno Haible for a similar report
+       and discussions)
