   * bug fix: DEFGENERIC now works even when there's a function of the
     same name in an enclosing lexical environment.  (thanks to Zach
     Beane)
+  * fixed compiler failure, caused by instrumenting code during
+    IR1-optimization.  (Debian bug report #273606 by Gabor Melis)
+  * optimization: added loop analysis and improved register allocation
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** POSITION on displaced vectors with non-zero displacement
        returns the right answer.

+    ** *PRINT-LEVEL* handling for slotless structures is pedantically
+       correct.
+    ** PPRINT-INDENT accepts a request for an indentation of any REAL.
+    ** PPRINT-TAB (and the FORMAT ~T directive) now indent by the
