1. sbcl-1.0.15 has been released, and 2. upcoming sbcl-1.1

sbcl-1.0.15 is in the SourceForge file release system now; enjoy.

In unrelated sbcl-announce - ish news, the next release is expected to
be called sbcl-1.1. For details, see sbcl-devel. The high level
summary is:
  * Its freeze period is expected to start at the customary
    20th-of-the-month-ish time, but instead of releasing it around the
    25th, we'll probably poke at it a little longer than usual.
  * There is some interest in using it (and then occasional successive
    future releases) as the base for more-stable less-patched branches, 
    something like the Linux stable branches.

>From the NEWS file in the distribution of sbcl-1.0.15:
changes in sbcl-1.0.15 relative to sbcl-1.0.14:
  * enhancement: cleaner backtraces for interactive interrupts, as
    well as other cases where the interesting frames used to be
    obscured by interrupt handling frames.
  * enhancement: untracing a whole package using (UNTRACE "FOO") is
    now supported, and tracing a whole package using (TRACE "FOO") now
    traces SETF-functions as well.
  * enhancement: implement SB-POSIX:MKTEMP and SB-POSIX:MKDTEMP.
  * SB-DEBUG:PRINT-FRAME-CALL now prints the entry-point kind even
    when SB-DEBUG:*SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS* is NIL.
  * unreadably printed representation of hash-tables now includes
    weakness if any.
  * bug fix: partially fixed #188: type propagation from assignments
    is now more efficient.
  * bug fix: fixed #407: (COERCE X 'SINGLE-FLOAT) and (COERCE X
    'DOUBLE-FLOAT) are not flushable.
  * bug fix: on x86 and x86-64 pointer based EQ-hashing now uses the
    full address of the object, and none of the tag bits.
  * bug fix: readably printing hash-tables now respects other printer
    control variables.  (reported by Cedric St-Jean)
  * bug fix: compiler gave a bogus STYLE-WARNING for the :SYNCHRONIZED
    keyword with MAKE-HASH-TABLE.
  * bug fix: export SB-POSIX:MKSTEMP.
  * bug fix: SORT was not interrupt safe.
  * bug fix: XREF accounts for the last node of each basic-block as
    well.
  * bug fix: MAKE-INSTANCE optimizations interacted badly with
    non-keyword :DEFAULT-INITARGS in the presence of :BEFORE/:AFTER
    methods on SHARED-INITIALIZE.  (thanks to Matt Marjanovic)
  * bug fix: the CTOR optimization for MAKE-INSTANCE should no longer
    create obsolete instances in the case of redefinition or
    obsoletion of a superclass.  (thanks to Andy Hefner)
  * bug fix: Support for the Alpha architecture has been revived; it had
    suffered somewhat from lack of maintenance since sbcl-1.0.
  * improvements to the Windows port:
     ** The system detects the codepage to use at startup, instead of
        using the value from the saved core. (thanks to Kei Suzuki)
