+changes relative to sbcl-1.0.58:
+  * enhancement: New variable, sb-ext:*disassemble-annotate* for controlling
+    source annotation of DISASSEMBLE output. Defaults to T.
+  * optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT of lists are faster and use fewer
+    comparisons, particularly on almost-sorted inputs.
+  * bug fix: Reading floats with large exponents no longer takes too much time
+    before reporting that the exponent is too large.
+  * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:SOCKET-RECEIVE with a UDP socket now works
+    correctly when the received datagram is larger than the provided buffer.
+    (lp#1023438, thanks to Robert Uhl)
+  * bug fix: SB-EXT:GET-CAS-EXPANSION returned a bogus read-form when given
+    a SYMBOL-VALUE form with a constant symbol argument.
+  * documentation: a section on random number generation has been added to the
+    manual. (lp#656839)

+changes in sbcl-1.0.58 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: errors during compiler-macro expansion no longer cause
+    runtime errors, only a compile-time warning, otherwise behaving as if
+    the compiler macro had declined to expand.
   * 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)
+    of unknown type; mapping into lists is no longer O(N^2). (lp#1001043,
+    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.
+    function cannot escape. (lp#1002534)
   * optimization: SB-SEQUENCE:DOSEQUENCE is faster on vectors of unknown
     element type, and vectors that aren't SIMPLE-ARRAYs.
+  * optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT are more efficient in execution
+    speed (around 1/3 the time in some cases), and a little better in terms of
+    comparison calls. (Thanks to Takeru Ohta)
+  * bug fix: 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).
   * 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

   * bug fix: run-program no longer unconditionally uses /tmp/ for temporary

+  * bug fix: restore build on solaris/sparc. (lp#1008506)
+  * bug fix: an issue with LDB in the PowerPC backend has been resolved;

+  * bug fix: compiler-macro lambda-lists specifying non-keyword symbols
