changes in sbcl-2.1.11 relative to sbcl-2.1.10:
  * minor incompatible change: *COMPILE-PRINT* now defaults to NIL.  T gives
    the old behavior of echoing top level forms. Users who want to see a
    report of the phases of compilation can use *COMPILE-PROGRESS* and the
    corresponding COMPILE-FILE :PROGRESS argument.
  * optimization: The compiler assignment-converts functions much more
    aggressively; local or non-entry block-compiled functions
    which always return to the same place are automatically converted into the
    equivalent loop or goto control structures.
  * enhancement: on x86-64 and ppc64 platforms, the system uses inline
    instructions rather than page protection to implement a store barrier for
    the garbage collector.
  * enhancement: improved reporting of code deletion notes.
  * platform support:
    ** unbound-variable restarts for amd64 are now supported.
    ** bug fix: single-floats to foreign functions on 32-bit ARMel.
       (lp#1950080, reported by Sebastien Villemot)
    ** bug fix: opening files with names containing non-ASCII characters on
       Windows works better.  (reported by Nikolay)
    ** bug fix: use fp_xsave to access the floating point flags and control
       word in Haiku signal contexts.  (Thanks to Al Hoang)
    ** bug fix: complex single-float support on riscv64.
    ** optimization: support for accessing elements of &rest args directly on
       ppc64, mips, riscv.
    ** optimization: parse a /proc file rather than executing uname for
       SOFTWARE-VERSION on Linux
  * bug fix: fix crash from SB-COVER:RESET-COVERAGE.  (lp#1950059, reported by
    Gregory Czerniak)
