 changes relative to sbcl-1.0.35:
+  * new feature: MAKE-RANDOM-STATE has been extended to accept octet vectors,
+    (SIMPLE-ARRAY (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) (*)), and UNSIGNED-BYTE arguments in
+    addition to the ones documented in the language specification.  Also,
+    (MAKE-RANDOM-STATE T) will attempt to initialize the returned state
+    from the operating system's PRNG where possible.  (Thanks to
+    Fare Rideau; launchpad bug lp#310116)
+  * bug fix: Fix SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS:READ-VECTOR to correctly set the
+    FILE-POSITION of the stream being read from.  (launchpad bug lp#491087)
+  * bug fix: Fix grammer and style issues for the docstrings of
+    printer-related variables and functions.  (Thanks to mon_key; launchpad
+    bug lp#518696)
   * bug fix: fix compilation on chenygc platforms. Thanks to Larry Valkama and
     Bruce O'Neel.
   * bug fix: SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT sometimes signaled a deadline twice
