   * optimization: REPLACE on declared (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) vectors, as well
     as other specialized array types, is much faster.  SUBSEQ and
     COPY-SEQ on such arrays have also been sped up.
+  * optimization: EQL is now more efficient when at least other argument 
+    is known to be of type (OR FIXNUM (NOT NUMBER)).
+  * fixed bug: the runtime is now less vulnerable to changes in the
+    size of the SBCL object on OS X, and virtual memory is reserved for
+    all spaces that need to be at a fixed address.
   * fixed bug: finalizers are now thread-safe. (thanks to Gabor Mellis)
   * fixed bug: finalizers and after GC hooks that cause consing are now
     safe.
