+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.56:
+  * 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)
+  * 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.
