+changes relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
+  * bug fix: very long (or infinite) constant lists in DOLIST do not result
+    in very long compile times or heap exhaustion anymore. (lp#1095488)
+  * bug fix: `#3(1) is read as #(1 1 1), not as #(1). (lp#1095918)
+  * bug fix: adjust-array ignored :initial-element for simple-vectors.
+    (lp#1096359)
+  * bug fix: optimizations to MAKE-INSTANCE with literal list initargs no
+    longer cause infinite loops (on circular data) or violate eqlity
+    constraints.  (lp#1099708)
+  * bug fix: FIRST was not being open coded. (regression from 1.1.0)
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.3 relative to sbcl-1.1.2:
+  * enhancement: warnings about bad locale settings, LANG, LC_CTYPE, etc.
+    (lp#727625)
+  * enhancement: support for C-c to interrupt the foreground thread
+    on Windows.  (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: STDCALL alien callbacks. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: Safepoint builds on POSIX platforms can now optionally be
+    built without pseudo-atomic sequences and their run-time overhead.
+  * enhancement: Threads created outside of Lisp can enter Lisp through
+    alien callbacks and appear as Lisp threads for the duration of that
+    function invocation.  On safepoint builds only.
+  * enhancement: Miscellaneous improvements to namestrings and underlying
+    calls to OS functions for file system access on Windows.  (Thanks to
+    Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: The MSI installer support for Windows now uses Windows
+    Installer XML at least version 3.5 and includes various usability
+    improvements.  (Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: The sb-bsd-sockets contrib now supports non-blocking-mode
+    on Windows.  (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: The Windows backend now supports the x86-64 platform.
+    (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * bug fix: fasls are now once again directly executable (on platforms
+    supporting shebang lines, with a suitably-installed sbcl).
+  * bug fix: make.sh --help no longer runs clean.sh. (lp#937001)
+  * bug fix: Fix CAS access to slots of direct instances of structure classes
+    in the presence of subclasses sharing the same conc-name.
+  * bug fix: Logical pathname namestrings on Windows have been changed to
+    be lower-case, to minimize differences between POSIX and Windows.
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.2 relative to sbcl-1.1.1:
+  * notice: System requirements for SBCL on Microsoft Windows: Windows NT 5.1
+    or newer (Windows XP, Server 2003) is required.  Support for Windows 2000
+    (NT 5.0) is no longer being maintained.
+  * notice: Starting with this version, SBCL on Windows no longer supports
+    building with disabled thread support.
+  * enhancement: frlocks have been added to SB-CONCURRENCY contrib module.
+  * enhancement: New feature sb-dynamic-core allows the runtime to be
+    rebuilt or relocated without requiring changes to the core file on
+    all linkage table platforms.  Required on Windows.  (Thanks to Anton
+    Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: Console I/O streams use UCS-2. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: I/O on Windows unnamed pipes is interruptible
+    asynchronously using interrupt-thread, timers when running on Windows NT
+    version 6.1 or newer (Windows 7, Server 2008 R2).  (Thanks to Anton
+    Kovalenko.)
+  * enhancement: Support for the experimental safepoint-based stop-the-world
+    protocol on the PowerPC platform.
+  * bug fix: Non-blocking reads from the Windows console were not necessarily
+    non-blocking. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko. (lp#308923)
+  * bug fix: stability of threads on Windows has been improved upon through
+    an updated stop-the-world protocol (thanks to Anton Kovalenko).
+
+changes in sbcl-1.1.1 relative to sbcl-1.1.0:
   * enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT no longer grabs the world-lock.
     (COMPILE and COMPILE-FILE still do.)
+  * optimization: the SPARC backend now supports the precise generational
+    (GENCGC) garbage collection.  Enabled by default on Solaris/SPARC and
+    Linux/SPARC.  Thanks to Raymond Toy (via CMUCL).
+  * enhancement: add experimental support for the SB-THREAD feature and the
+    timer facility on Windows.  Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.
+    Threads are enabled by default, and this version of SBCL is considered
+    to be the last and final release to officially support building with
+    threads disabled.
+  * optimization: The compiler no longer rotates loops in some cases where
+    this transformation actually lead to worse code being generated.
   * bug fix: SB-CLTL2:MACROEXPAND-ALL correctly handles shadowing of
     symbol-macros by lexical bindings.
   * bug fix: stack allocation was prevented by high DEBUG declaration in

   * bug fix: PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING performed non-native parsing when
     :JUNK-ALLOWED was true.
