     ?? IR1-3a.
   It's also done by much newer code, so there might be some new bugs,
   but hopefully if so they'll be less fundamental and more fixable.
+* PPRINT-LOGICAL-BLOCK now copies the *PRINT-LINES* value on entry
+  and uses that copy, rather than the current dynamic value, when
+  it's trying to decide whether to truncate output . Thus e.g.
+     (let ((*print-lines* 50))
+       (pprint-logical-block (stream nil)
+         (dotimes (i 10)
+           (let ((*print-lines* 8))
+             (print (aref possiblybigthings i) stream)))))
+  should truncate the logical block only at 50 lines, instead of 
+  often truncating it at 8 lines.
+* :SB-CONSTRAIN-FLOAT-TYPE, :SB-PROPAGATE-FLOAT-TYPE, and
+  :SB-PROPAGATE-FUN-TYPE are no longer considered to be optional
+  features. Instead, the code that they used to control is always
+  built into the system.
 ?? lots of tidying up internally: renaming things so that names are
   more systematic and consistent, converting C macros to inline
   functions, systematizing indentation
+* The fasl file version number changed again, for any number of
+  good reasons.
 
 planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
 * The debugger prompt sequence now goes "5]", "5[2]", "5[3]", etc.
