+  * minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and
+    SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor
+    of SB-THREAD:THREAD-ERROR-THREAD.
+  * new feature: SB-THREAD:SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD provides access to symbol
+    values in other threads.
+  * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information
+    about object allocation.
   * optimization: more efficient type-checks for FIXNUMs when the value
     is known to be a signed word on x86 and x86-64.
   * improvement: failure to provide requested stack allocation compiler notes
     provided in all cases (requested stack allocation not happening without a
     note being issued is now considered a bug.)
+  * optimization: compiler is smarter about delegating argument type checks to
+    callees.
   * bug fix: on 64 bit platforms FILL worked incorrectly on arrays with
     upgraded element type (COMPLEX SINGLE-FLOAT), regression from 1.0.28.55.
