+ * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFGLOBAL macro allows defining global non-special
+ variables.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:ALWAYS-BOUND proclamation inhibits MAKUNBOUND, and
+ allows the compiler to safely elide boundedness checks for special
+ variables.
+ * new feature: SB-EXT:GLOBAL proclamation inhibits SPECIAL proclamations for
+ the symbol, prohibits both lexical and dynamic binding. This is mainly an
+ efficiency measure for threaded platforms, but also valueable in
+ expressing intent.
+ * improvement: SBCL now emits a compiler note where stack allocation was
+ requested but could not be provided.
+ * optimization: compiler now generates faster array typechecking code.
+ * optimization: ARRAY-DIMENSION is now faster for multidimensional and
+ non-simple arrays.
+ * optimization: multidimensional array accesses in the absence of type
+ information regarding array rank are approximately 10% faster due to
+ open coding of ARRAY-RANK.
+ * documentation: CLOS slot typechecing policy has been documented.
+ * bug fix: potential miscompilation of array stack allocation on x86 and
+ x86-64. (reported by Time Tossavainen)
+ * bug fix: some forms of AND, OR, and COND resulted in expansions that could
+ result in their subforms being treated as top level forms. (reported by
+ James Knight)
+ * bug fix: On x86/x86-64 alien functions declared to return integers shorter
+ than a machine register could leave garbage in the high bits of the
+ result register (bug 316325).
