+  * new feature: ARRAY-STORAGE-VECTOR provides access to the underlying
+    data vector of an multidimensional SIMPLE-ARRAY.
+  * new feature: the system now signals a continuable error if standard
+    readtable modification is attempted.
+  * optimization: faster generic arithmetic dispatch on x86 and x86-64.
+  * bug fix: DEFCLASS and ENSURE-CLASS-USING-CLASS are now expected to
+    be thread safe.
   * bug fix: lexical type declarations are now correctly reported by
     SB-CLTL2. (reported by Larry D'Anna)
   * bug fix: STRING-TO-OCTETS did not handle :START properly when
     using UTF-8 as external format. (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
+  * bug fix: errors from invalid fill-pointer values to (SETF FILL-POINTER)
+    are signalled correctly. (thanks to Stas Boukarev)
+  * bug fix: SET-MACRO-CHARACTER accepts NIL as the readtable
+    designator. (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+  * bug fix: SET-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER accepts NIL as the readtable
+    designator, and returns T instead of the function. (thanks to
+    Tobias Rittweiler)
+  * bug fix: direct superclasses of STANDARD-CLASS and
+    FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS now default to STANDARD-OBJECT and
+    FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT as required by AMOP.
+  * bug fix: compiling a call to SLOT-VALUE with a constant slot-name
+    when no class with the named slot yet exists no longer causes a
+    compile-time style-warning.
+  * bug fix: :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots are type-checked properly
+    in safe code. (reported by Didier Verna)
