     produces an error.  (thanks to Vincent Arkesteijn)
   * bug fix: NAMESTRING on pathnames with :WILD components in their
     directories works correctly.  (thanks to Artem V. Andreev)
+  * fixed bug 125: compiler preserves identity of closures. (reported
+    by Gabe Garza)
   * build fix: fixed the dependence on *LOAD-PATHNAME* and
     *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* being absolute pathnames.
+  * on x86 compiler partially supports stack allocation of dynamic-extent
+    closures.
   * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
     ** encoding and decoding errors are now much more robustly
        handled; it should now be possible to recover even from invalid
        input or output to the terminal.  (thanks to Teemu Kalvas)
+    ** provided a first cut at implementing STRING-TO-OCTETS and
+       OCTETS-TO-STRING.  (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+    ** altered the SB-MD5 contributed module slightly, changing the
+       interface just enough for it to be supportable for builds where
+       lisp characters are not eight bits.
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** the FORMATTER-generated functions for ~V[ conditionals require
        the correct number of arguments.
