+  * a better implementation of SXHASH on (simple) bit vectors,
+    measured both in execution speed and in distribution of results

+    implementation of EQUAL for simple bit vectors is now available.

+  * fixed bug 240 (emitting extra style warnings "using the lexical
+    binding of the symbol *XXX*" for &OPTIONAL arguments).  (reported
+    by Antonio Martinez)
+  * fixed SXHASH, giving different results for NIL depending on type
+    declarations (SYMBOL or LIST).  (thanks to Gerd Moellmann)
+  * fixed bug in DEFPARAMETER and DEFVAR: they could assign a lexical
+    variable.  (found by Rolf Wester)
+  * SBCL does not ignore type declarations for special
