     threads are not running after *SAVE-HOOKS* have run.
   * improvement: writes to CLOS instance slots are type-checked in code
     compiled with (SAFETY 3)
-  * improvement: floating-point exception handling should work on all
-    POSIX platforms (thanks to NIIMI Satoshi)

   * bug fix: fix thread-safety problems in the type system (generally 
     manifesting as nonsensical errors like "STRING is a bad type specifier 
     for sequences" or "The value 1 is not of type FIXNUM")
+  * bug fix: version components are handled correctly in TRANSLATE-PATHNAME
+    (reported by Josip Gracin)
+  * bug fix: an error is signaled for attempts to displace arrays with
+    incompatible element types (thanks to Mario Mommer)
+  * optimization: method calls with &OPTIONAL or &KEY arguments are faster
+    and don't cause extra consing
+  * optimization: MAP and MAP-INTO are significantly faster on vectors
+    whose elements types have been declared.
   * Improvements to the Windows port:
     ** floating point exceptions are now reported correctly.
     ** stack exhaustion detection works partially.
