   * enhancement: SBCL on MIPS platforms now has a much larger dynamic
     space for its heap.  (thanks to Thiemo Seufer)
+  * optimization: SBCL on MIPS platforms now supports dynamic-extent

   * bug fix: signal handling and triggering gc do not conflict
     directly anymore, in particular a high frequency sb-sprof does
     not prevent gc from running
+  * bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now uses a more reasonable
+    approximation for timezone and DST information between the
+    universal time epoch and the smallest negative 32-bit time_t.
+  * bug fix: ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME no longer errors when passed the
+    year 1899 so long as the encoded time is non-negative.
