+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:*SUPPRESS-PRINT-ERRORS* can be used to suppress errors
+    from the printer by type, causing an error marker to be printed instead.
+    (Thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+  * enhancement: BACKTRACE and DESCRIBE now bind *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T, and
+    generally behave better when errors occur during printing.
+  * optimization: the compiler is smarter about representation selection for
+    floating point constants used in full calls.
   * bug fix: deadlock detection could report the same deadlock twice, for
     two different threads. Now a single deadlock is reported exactly once.

   * bug fix: compiler error when typechecking a call to a function with
