Its source should be available from the usual SourceForge sites already,
its binaries presently.
from the NEWS file in the distribution:
changes in sbcl-1.0.7 relative to sbcl-1.0.6:
* MOP improvement: support for user-defined subclasses of
SB-MOP:SPECIALIZER has been enhanced. The experimental interface
function SB-PCL:MAKE-METHOD-SPECIALIZERS-FORM, called as part of
the expansion of DEFMETHOD, is responsible for generating a form
which creates a list of specializers when evaluated. Additional
functions SB-PCL:[UN]PARSE-SPECIALIZER-USING-CLASS provide
debugging and introspective support.
* minor incompatible change: the (unsupported) spinlock interface
has changed: free spinlock now has the value NIL, and a held spinlock
has the owning thread as its value.
* enhancement: WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS now binds ALLOW-WITH-INTERRUPTS and
WITH-LOCAL-INTERRUPTS as local macros. Refer to documentation string
for details.
* 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
for generic functions. (Thanks to Tobias C. Rittweiler)
* optimization: bignum printing speed has been improved by 20-40%
(depending on the bignum size.)
* bug fix: WITH-MUTEX and WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK are now interrupt safe
on Linux.
* 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
and interrupt safe (in the sense that the known issues have been
fixed.)
* bug fix: ADD/REMOVE-METHOD is now thread and interrupt safe.
* bug fix: interning EQL-specializers is now thread and interrupt safe.
* bug fix: asdf systems with dependencies to the SB-POSIX or
SB-BSD-SOCKETS contribs can be loaded with :FORCE T.
* bug fix: interrupt safety of applicable method computation has been
improved.
