     SXHASH-related changes in the layout of CLOS data structures
 
 changes in sbcl-0.7.11 relative to sbcl-0.7.10:
+  * fixed bug 127: DEFSTRUCT now does not clobber old structure
+    accessors that are related by inheritance, as specified in the
+    :CONC-NAME section of the specification of DEFSTRUCT.  (thanks to
+    Valtteri Vuorikoski)
+  * the compiler is now able to inline functions that were defined in
+    a complex lexical environment (e.g. inside a MACROLET).
+  * fixed bug in DESCRIBE, which now works on rank-0 arrays.  (thanks
+    to Lutz Euler)
+  * support for the upcoming FreeBSD-5.0 release has been included.
+    (thanks to Dag-Erling Smorgrav)
+  * fixed bug 219: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO no longer has compile-time
+    effect when it is not in a toplevel context.
+  * fixed bug 222: DEFMETHOD and SYMBOL-MACROLET interactions now
+    stand a better chance of being correct.  (thanks to Gerd
+    Moellmann)
+  * fixed bug in COERCE, which now signals an error on coercing a
+    rational to a bounded real type which excludes the expected
+    answer.
+  * the compiler is now able to derive types more accurately from the
+    COERCE and COMPILE functions.
   * fixed some more bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** As required by ANSI, LOOP now disallows anonymous collection
        clauses such as COLLECT I in conjunction with aggregate boolean
