   * fixed a bug in LOG, so that LOG of a rational argument near 1 now
     gives a closer approximation to the right answer than previously.
     (thanks to Raymond Toy)
+  * fixed bug 157: TYPEP, SUBTYPEP, UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE and
+    UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE now take (ignored, in all situations)
+    optional environment arguments, as required by ANSI.
+  * fixed bugs in other functions taking environment objects, allowing
+    calls with an explicit NIL environment argument to be compiled
+    without error.
+  * fixed bug 228: primary return values from
+    FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION are either NIL or suitable for input to
+    COMPILE or FUNCTION.
+  * fixed a bug in DEFSTRUCT: predicates for :NAMED structures with
+    :TYPE will no longer signal errors on innocuous objects.
+  * fixed bug 231b: SETQ is better at respecting type declarations in
+    the lexical environment.
+  * fixed a bug in DEFCLASS: classes named by symbols with no or
+    unprintable packages can now be defined.
+  * fixed a bug in RESTART-BIND: The :TEST-FUNCTION option had been
+    carelessly renamed to :TEST-FUN. (thanks to Robert E. Brown)
+  * fixed compiler failure related to checking types of functions.
+    (reported by Robert E. Brown)
+  * the compiler is now much more consistent in its error-checking
+    treatment of bounding index arguments to sequence functions: in
+    (SAFETY 3) code, errors will be signalled in almost all cases if
+    invalid sequence bounding indices are passed to functions defined
+    by ANSI to operate on sequences.
+  * fixed a bug in the build procedure: documentation of SBCL-specific
+    packages is now preserved and available in the final Lisp image.
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P now allows arbitrary integers as arguments,
        not just nonnegative fixnums;
+    ** the logical bit-array operators such as BIT-AND now accept an
+       explicit NIL for their "opt-arg" argument (to indicate a
+       freshly-consed result bit-array);
+    ** ELT now signals an error on an invalid sequence index in safe
+       code;
 
 planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
   * (not done yet, but planned:) When the profiling interface settles
