   * enhancement: run-program no longer decodes and re-encodes environment when
     :environment argument is not provided. (lp#985904)
+  * enhancement: errors during compiler-macro expansion no longer cause
+    runtime errors, only a compile-time warning, otherwise behaving as if
+    the compiler macro had declined to expand.
   * optimization: On x86-64, code alignment of block headers is done with
     multi-byte NOPs now instead of repetitions of the single-byte NOP.
   * optimization: MAP-INTO is substantially faster when the target sequence is

     function cannot escape.
   * optimization: SB-SEQUENCE:DOSEQUENCE is faster on vectors of unknown
     element type, and vectors that aren't SIMPLE-ARRAYs.
+  * optimization: CL:SORT and CL:STABLE-SORT are more efficient in execution
+    speed (around 1/3 the time in some cases), and a little better in terms of
+    comparison calls. (Thanks to Takeru Ohta)
+  * bug fix: On SPARC, a limitation on the number of code constants emittable
+    by the compiler has been lifted, allowing certain long functions to
+    compiled and assembled which had previously been unsupported; fixes
+    cl-bench on this ISA (lp#1008996).
   * bug fix: potential for infinite recursion during compilation of CLOS slot
     typechecks when dependency graph had loops. (lp#1001799)

+  * bug fix: an issue with LDB in the PowerPC backend has been resolved;
