sbcl-1.0.5 has been released

Its source is available in the usual SourceForge-ish places; enjoy.

from the NEWS file in the distribution:
changes in sbcl-1.0.5 relative to sbcl-1.0.4:
  * incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
    host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS
    information anyway.
  * minor incompatible change: changed experimental JOIN-THREAD interface
  * documentation: the manual now lists reader and writer methods
    in class slot documentation sections. (thanks to Richard M Kreuter)
  * documentation: unwinding from asyncronous events has been
    documented as unsafe.
  * documentation: SB-SYS:WITHOUT-GCING has been documented as unsafe
    in multithreaded application code.
  * optimization: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME has been optimized on POSIX
    platforms. (thanks to James Anderson for the optimization hint)
  * optimization: REPLACE, SUBSEQ, and COPY-SEQ are now optimized in
    more cases.
  * optimization: STRING-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATER-P} and their NOT-
    variants no longer cons.
  * optimization: Direct calls to CHAR-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATERP} and
    their NOT- variants no longer cons.
  * optimization: EQUAL hash tables no longer use SXHASH for objects
    of all data types, but instead use an EQL hash for types for which
    EQUAL is the same as EQL.
  * optimization: the non-inlined generic versions of AREF and (SETF AREF)
    are significantly faster.
  * optimization: new STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM implementation is much
    faster for large outputs and conses 30% less on average.
  * enhancement: XREF information is now collected for references made
    to global variables using SYMBOL-VALUE and a constant argument.
  * enhancement: SIGINT now causes a specific condition
    SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT to be signalled.
  * bug fix: FILE-POSITION used to signal an error in some cases where
    ANSI requires it to return NIL.
  * bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY is now interrupt-safe.
  * bug fix: adding and removing fd-handlers is now interrupt-safe.
  * bug fix: inlined calls to C now ensure 16byte stack alignment on
    x86/Darwin.
  * bug fix: bad type declaration in the CLOS implementation has
    been fixed. (reported by James Anderson)
  * bug fix: incorrect ROOM reporting on x86-64 has been fixed.
    (thanks to Lutz Euler)
  * bug fix: DEFSETF now allows &ENVIRONMENT and disallows &AUX as
    required by the CLHS. (reported by Samium Gromoff)
  * bug fix: dead unbound variable references now signal an error.
    (reported by Marco Monteiro)
  * bug fix: / with an unused value was being deleted in safe code.
    (thanks to Marco Monteiro and Kevin Reid)
  * bug fix: number of characters that can be written onto a single
    line in a file is unlimited.
  * bug fix: some GC deadlocks caused by asynchronous interrupts have
    been fixed by inhibiting interrupts for when GC is disbled.
  * bug fix: some interrupt safety issues with GETHASH, (SETF
    GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH have been fixed.
  * bug fix: binding *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS* to a value that is not a type
    specifier no longer causes infinite recursion.
  * bug fix: SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declarations no longer trigger a 
    bogus warning in DEFMETHOD bodies. (reported by Kevin Reid)
  * bug fix: an &environment argument with the correct variable information
    is passed to macros that are expanded during byte compilation.
    (reported by Samium Gromoff)
  * bug fix: a logic error was causing the hash function for bignums to
    have excessive amounts of collisions. (reported by Faré Rideau)
  * bug fix: modifying the contents of an array could change the return
    value of SXHASH on that array, which is only allowed for strings 
    and bit vectors. (bug introduced in 0.9.16)
  * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests (except
    for the debugger tests) but should still be considered
    experimental until this is fixed.
  * improvement: a style-warning is signaled for CASE (etc) clauses with
    duplicate keys. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
  * improvement: macos/x86 and macos/x86-64 now use mach exception
    handlers for dealing with illegal instructions (for trapping and
    error handling) and memory protection violations (for GC).
