     unparsing of directory pathnames as files. Analogously,
     SB-EXT:PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING takes an AS-DIRECTORY, forcing a
     filename to parse into a directory pathname.
-  * optimizations: COPY-SEQ, FILL, and SUBSEQ are 30-80% faster for
+  * enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM allows unicode arguments and environments
+    to be used (using the default stream external format), and allows
+    non-simple strings to be used. (thanks to Harald Hanche-Olsen)
+  * optimization: COPY-SEQ, FILL, and SUBSEQ are 30-80% faster for
     strings and vectors whose element-type or simplicity is not fully
     known at compile-time.
+  * optimization: STRING-TRIM and related functions no longer allocate
+    a new string when no trimming needs to be performed. These functions
+    are also faster than before when the input string has been declared
+    as a simple-string.
+  * optimization: READ-SEQUENCE on simple-strings is up to 80% faster.
+  * optimization: READ-LINE is significantly faster for files containing
+    long lines.
+  * optimization: non-open coded uses of character comparison operators
+    (e.g. char=) no longer cons when called with more than one parameter
+    on platforms supporting dynamic-extent allocation.
   * bug fix: READ-SEQUENCE on composite stream wrapping a Gray stream
     with STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) signalled an error.
   * bug fix: COPY-SEQ on lists did not signal a type-error on improper
