+    (Thanks to James Knight)
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** the type-error signalled from WARN has a filled-in DATUM slot.
     ** the type-error required when a stream is not associated with
        a file has the stream as its datum.
     ** type-errors on single-floats on x86-64 no longer have 
        :INVALID-OBJECT as the datum
+    ** the type-errors signalled for invalid function names now have
+       a correct expected type
+    ** (SETF (DOCUMENTATION ... 'STRUCTURE)) no longer signals an error
+       for structures defined with a :TYPE. Documentation strings for
+       typed structures are no longer immediately discarded
+    ** FILE-STRING-LENGTH and STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT now work on 
+       broadcast streams and synonym streams. FILE-LENGTH now also works
+       on broadcast streams.
