   * minor incompatible change: PCL now records the pathname of a file
     in which methods and the like are defined, rather than its
     truename.
+  * minor incompatible change: TRUENAME now considers the truename of
+    a file naming a directory to be the pathname with :DIRECTORY
+    component indicating that directory.
   * more systematization and improvement of CLOS and MOP conformance
     in PCL (thanks to Gerd Moellman and Pierre Mai):
     ** the standard ANSI CL generic function NO-NEXT-METHOD is now
