+ * change: runtimes with embedded cores (i.e. saved with :EXECUTABLE T)
+ don't print the startup banner, but behave as if --noinform was passed
+ as a command line argument. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+ * new experimental feature: added JOIN-THREAD (by NIIMI Satoshi)
+ * optimization: code using alien values with undeclared types is much faster.
+ * optimization: the compiler is now able to open code SEARCH in more cases.
+ * optimization: more compact typechecks on x86-64 (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * bug fix: using standardized COMMON-LISP special variables as loop
+ variables no longer signals bogus package lock violations. (reported
+ by Eric Marsden)
+ * bug fix: declaring local loop variables to be of a range-limited type
+ such as (SINGLE-FLOAT 1.0 2.0) no longer causes a compile-time error.
+ (reported by Andras Simon)
+ * bug fix: >= and <= gave wrong results when used with NaNs. (Some NaN
+ bugs remain on x86-64.)
