+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)
+  * 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.
+
+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).
+  * enhancement: closed over variables can be stack-allocated on x86
+    and x86-64.
+  * performance bug fix: GETHASH and (SETF GETHASH) are once again
+    non-consing.
+  * optimization: slot definition lookup is now O(1). This speeds up
+    eg. SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) with variable slot names.
+  * optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS is now up to 60% faster for UTF-8.
+  * optimization: ASSOC and MEMBER can now be open-coded for all
+    combinations of keyword arguments when second argument is constant
+    and SPEED >= SPACE. In other cases a specialized version is
+    selected.
+  * bug fix: using obsoleted structure instances with TYPEP and
+    generic functions now signals a sensible error.
+  * bug fix: threads waiting on GET-FOREGROUND can be interrupted.
+    (reported by Kristoffer Kvello)
+  * bug fix: backtrace construction is now more careful when making
+    lisp-objects from pointers on the stack, to avoid creating bogus
+    objects that can be seen by the GC.
+  * bug fix: defaulting of values in contexts expecting more than 7
+    variables now works on x86-64.  (reported by Christopher Laux)
+  * bug fix: modifications to packages (INTERN, EXPORT, etc) are now
+    thread safe.
+  * bug fix: (SETF SYMBOL-PLIST) no longer allows assigning a non-list
+    as the property-list of a symbol.
+  * bug fix: DEFMETHOD forms with CALL-NEXT-METHOD in the method body,
+    in EVAL-WHEN forms with both :COMPILE-TOPLEVEL and :LOAD-TOPLEVEL 
+    situations requested, are once again file-compileable.  (reported
+    by Sascha Wilde)

   * minor incompatible change: the (unsupported) spinlock interface
     has changed: free spinlock now has the value NIL, and a held spinlock

+  * enhancement: WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS now binds ALLOW-WITH-INTERRUPTS and

   * enhancement: name of a socket-stream is now "a socket" instead of
     "a constant string".
   * enhancement: SB-POSIX now supports lockf(). (Thanks to Zach Beane.)  
   * enhancement: SB-POSIX now supports getcwd(). (Thanks to Tassilo Horn.)
+  * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:FUNCTION-ARGLIST shows nicer argument lists

+  * optimization: bignum printing speed has been improved by 20-40%

+  * bug fix: WITH-MUTEX and WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK are now interrupt safe

   * bug fix: the cache used by the CLOS to store precomputed effective
     methods, slot offsets, and constant return values is now thread and
     interrupt safe.
   * bug fix: generic function dispatch function updating is now thread
