   * fixed bug 141b: printing backquoted information readably and prettily
     inserts a space where necessary.
+  * bug fix: obviously wrong type specifiers such as (FIXNUM 1) or
+    (CHARACTER 10) are now reported as errors, rather than propagated
+    as unknown types.  (reported by piso on #lisp)
+  * bug fix: the :IF-EXISTS argument to OPEN now behaves correctly
+    with values NIL and :ERROR.  (thanks to Milan Zamazal)
+  * fixed bug 191c: CLOS now does proper keyword argument checking as
+    described in CLHS 7.6.5 and 7.6.5.1.
   * compiler enhancement: SIGNUM is now better able to derive the type
     of its result.
+  * type declarations inside WITH-SLOTS are checked.  (reported by
+    salex on #lisp)
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
