 changes in sbcl-0.8.11 relative to sbcl-0.8.10:
+  * minor incompatible change: the sb-grovel contrib now treats C
+    structures as alien (in the sense of SB-ALIEN) objects rather than
+    as undistinguished (simple-array (unsigned-byte 8) (*))s.  This
+    has implications for memory management of client code
+    (sb-grovel-returned objects must now be manually managed) and for
+    type safety (alien objects now have full types).
+  * new feature: the SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration should be
+    used to control emission of compiler diagnostics, rather than the
+    SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS OPTIMIZE quality.  See the manual for
+    documentation on this feature.  The SB-EXT:INHIBIT-WARNINGS
+    quality should be considered deprecated.
+  * (not quite a new documentable feature, but worth considering in
+    the light of the new SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declaration): the
+    beginnings of a semantically meaningful condition hierarchy is
+    under development, for use in SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS and by
+    IDEs.
+  * fixed bug: DEFCLASS slot definitions with identical :READER and
+    :WRITER names now signal a reasonable error. (reported by Thomas
+    Burdick)
+  * fixed bug: CLOSE :ABORT T on appending stream no longer causes
+    file deletion.
+  * fixed bug: Invalid slot specification errors now print correctly. 
+    (thanks to Zach Beane)
+  * fixed bug 320: Shared to local slot value transfers in class 
+    redefinitions now happen corrently from superclasses as
+    well. (reported by Bruno Haible)
   * fixed bug 316: SHIFTF now accepts VALUES forms. (reported by Bruno
     Haible)
   * fixed bug 322: DEFSTRUCT :TYPE LIST type predicates now handle

   * 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)
+  * fixed bug: as reported by Peter Graves on #lisp IRC, passing a NIL
+    in keyword position to MAKE-PACKAGE was not being reported as
+    invalid.
+  * fixed bug: as reported by Juan Ripoll on cmucl-imp,
+    MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND should be able to lexically bind lambda list
+    keywords.
+  * fixed bugs 280 and 312: the checking for multiple definitions in a
+    file is less likely to become confused by uses of inline
+    functions.
+  * fixed bug: the #S reader macro performs the keyword coercion
+    specified for slot names.  (reported by Kalle Niemitalo)
+  * fixed bug: lambda lists may contain symbols whose names start with
+    & but are not lambda-list-keywords; their occurrence triggers a
+    STYLE-WARNING.
+  * fixed bug 321: define-method-combination argument lambda lists do
+    not cause invalid code to be generated when &optional or &aux
+    variables have default values.  (reported by Bruno Haible)
   * 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%.
+  * optimization: used a previously little-used slot in symbols to
+    cache SXHASH values, yielding a 5-10% compiler speedup.  (thanks
+    to Juho Snellman)
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** MAKE-INSTANCES-OBSOLETE returns the class name when called with 
+       a symbol.
+    ** Fixed an optimization bug related to inheritance of initforms
+       from local to shared slots.
     ** 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)
     ** removed stack cleaning in the cleanup part of UNWIND-PROTECT.
+    ** IMAGPART is specified (infelicitously) to return (* 0 <thing>)
+       for objects of type REAL.  Make it so.
+    ** SXHASH is specified (infelicitously) to respect similarity,
+       which means that (SXHASH 0.0) must equal (SXHASH -0.0).  Make
+       it so.  (thanks to Markus Ziegler)
+    ** on the Alpha, the compiler succeeds in compiling functions
+       returning a known number of arguments greater than 63.
+    ** fixed handling of invalid NIL arguments in keyword position
+       in local calls.
+    ** fixed non-pretty printing of arrays with *PRINT-RADIX* being
+       true.
+    ** provided a readably-printable representation for RANDOM-STATE
+       objects.
+    ** ensured that pathnames, where they have a namestring, always
+       print using #P"..." syntax.
