   it will issue WARNINGs about the type mismatches. It's not clear
   how to make the compiler smart enough to fix this in general, but
   a workaround is given in the entry for 117 in the BUGS file.
+* The doc/cmucl/ directory, containing old CMU CL documentation,
+  is no longer part of the base system. The files which used to 
+  be in the doc/cmucl/ directory are now available as
+    <ftp://sbcl.sourceforge.net/pub/sbcl/cmucl-docs.tar.bz2>.
+* The default value of *BYTES-CONSED-BETWEEN-GCS* has been 
+  doubled, to 4 million. (If your application spends a lot of time
+  GCing and you have a lot of RAM, you might want to experiment with
+  increasing it even more.)
+?? The system's handling of top-level forms and EVAL-WHEN is now
+  more ANSI-compliant, fixing bugs
+    ?? IR1-3 and
+    ?? IR1-3a.
+  It's also done by much newer code, so there might be some new bugs,
+  but hopefully if so they'll be less fundamental and more fixable.
+?? lots of tidying up internally: renaming things so that names are
+  more systematic and consistent, converting C macros to inline
+  functions, systematizing indentation
 
 planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
 * The debugger prompt sequence now goes "5]", "5[2]", "5[3]", etc.
