It's in SourceForge CVS and on the SourceForge File Releases page.
from the NEWS file in the distribution:
changes in sbcl-1.0.6 relative to sbcl-1.0.5:
* new contrib: sb-cover, an experimental code coverage tool, is included
as a contrib module.
* optimization: STRING-TO-OCTETS for unibyte encodings and UTF-8 is
significantly faster.
* optimization: calls of the form (AREF FOO (+ INDEX <constant>)) now
produce more efficient code on x86-64 if the compiler can determine
that (+ INDEX <constant>) does not require a bounds check and FOO
has an element type at least 8 bits wide.
* enhancement: a new, experimental synchronous timeout facility is
provided. Refer to SB-SYS:WITH-DEADLINE for details.
* enhancement: when a symbol name conflict error arises, the
conflicting symbols are always printed with a package prefix.
(thanks to Kevin Reid)
* enhancement: stepping is now once again supported on the SPARC and
MIPS platforms. (It is also now more likely to work on CheneyGC
builds on the PPC.)
* enhancement: sb-sprof can now also track and report accurate call
counts.
* bug fixes: the treatment of non-standard subclasses of
SB-MOP:SPECIALIZER is more correct.
* incompatible change: PURIFY no longer copies the data from the
dynamic space into the static and read-only spaces on platforms
that use the generational garbage collector
* bug fix: GETHASH, (SETF GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH are now
interrupt safe.
* bug fix: GC race condition occasionally resulting in crashes with
