+  * enchancement: implicit generic function warnings now specify the package
+    in which the new generic function is being created.
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-UPDATE makes it easy to perform non-destructive
+    updates of CAS-able places (similar to Clojure's swap!).
+  * bug fix: potential for infinite recursion during compilation of CLOS slot
+    typechecks when dependency graph had loops. (lp#1001799)
+  * bug fix: error forms reported with some program-errors were not escaped
+    properly.
+  * bug fix: functions from EVAL are now on more equal footing with functions
+    from COMPILE. (lp#1000783, lp#851170, lp#922408)
+  * bug fix: ENSURE-GENERIC-METHOD-COMBINATION accepts method combination
+    objects as its :METHOD-COMBINATION argument, not just lists designating
+    method combinations. (lp#936513)
