+  * fixed a bootstrapping bug: the build process no longer assumes
+    that the various BOOLE-related constants have the same value in
+    host and target lisps.  (noted by Paul Dietz' test suite on an
+    SBCL binary built from CLISP)

+  * tweaked disassembly notes to be less confident about proclaiming
