+changes in sbcl-1.0.10 relative to sbcl-1.0.9:
+  * minor incompatible change: :UNIX is no longer present in *FEATURES*
+    on Windows. (thanks to Luis Oliviera)
+  * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) are now >20% faster
+    for variable slot names, when the class of the instance is
+    an instance of STANDARD-CLASS or FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, and not
+    any of their subclasses.
+  * optimization: member type construction is now O(N) instead
+    of O(N^2).
+  * optimization: UNION and NUNION are now O(N+M) for large
+    inputs as long as the :TEST function is one of EQ, EQL, EQUAL, or
+    EQUALP.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.0.9 relative to sbcl-1.0.8:
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-SYS:OUTPUT-RAW-BYTES is deprecated.
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:FINALIZE accepts a :DONT-SAVE keyword argument,
+    indicating the finalizer should be cancelled when SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE
+    is called.
+  * enhancement: default PRINT-OBJECT methods for classes, slot-definitions,
+    and generic function now print the object identity for anonymous
+    instances. (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+  * enhancement: as an extension to MOP, SBCL now supports SETF of
+    STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS.
+    (thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+  * enhancement: sb-cover has an alternate annotation mode which puts
+    the form annotations at the car of the form, instead of annotating
+    it completely. The benefit of this mode is that it shows better
+    which forms were instrumented by the compiler.
+  * bug fix: new compiler transforms for MEMBER and ASSOC were affected
+    by printer control variables. (reported by Dan Corkill)
+  * bug fix: system leaked memory when delayed output was performed by
+    the OS in smaller chunks then expected. (thanks to David Smith)
+  * bug fix: system leaked memory when file streams were not closed 
+    properly.
+  * bug fix: large objects written to slow streams that were modified
+    after the write could end up with the modified state written to
+    the underlying file descriptor.
+  * bug fix: multiple threads operating in parallel on the same stream
+    could cause buffer-overflows.
+  * bug fix: source location information is stored correctly 
+    (broken since 1.0.6). This bug would generally show up as the
+    Slime debugger higlighting the wrong form when the sldb-show-source
+    command was used.
+  * bug fix: Branch forms are again annotated as branches in the sb-cover
+    annotations.
+  * bug fix: GCD on MOST-NEGATIVE-FIXNUM no longer causes an infinite loop
+    on x86-64. (reported by Gregory Vanuxem)
+  * bug fix: EQUALP could return wrong results for structures with raw
+    slots (slots with a :TYPE of SINGLE-FLOAT, DOUBLE-FLOAT, or a machine
+    word). (reported by Vjacheslav Fyodorov)
+  * bug fix: sb-sprof sampling didn't work on non-x86oid platforms. (patch
+    by Pierre Mai)

 changes in sbcl-1.0.8 relative to sbcl-1.0.7:
+  * enhancement: experimental macro SB-EXT:COMPARE-AND-SWAP provides
+    atomic compare-and-swap operations on threaded platforms.
   * enhancement: experimental function SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY
     allows assining a global minimum value to optimization qualities
     (overriding proclamations and declarations).
