Well, the SBCL web site hasn't been updated yet and there's been no official announcement; however, SBCL has been tagged 1.0 in CVS, and the 1.0 tarball has been put up on SourceForge, so I guess this is it. Wait, after downloading and compiling, let's make certain:
~ $ sbcl This is SBCL 1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.Woohoo - the best open source CL implementation has finally gone 1.0! Congratulations to the maintainers!

Update-2006-11-30: Ok, it's official! SBCL is 1.0 as of November 30, 2006. For you trivia fans, that's almost exactly 7 years since SBCL was originally conceived (from the #lisp IRC channel):
