   * fixed bug in DESCRIBE, which now works on rank-0 arrays.  (thanks
     to Lutz Euler)
+  * support for the upcoming FreeBSD-5.0 release has been included.
+    (thanks to Dag-Erling Smorgrav)
+  * fixed bug 219: DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO no longer has compile-time
+    effect when it is not in a toplevel context.
+  * fixed bug 222: DEFMETHOD and SYMBOL-MACROLET interactions now
+    stand a better chance of being correct.  (thanks to Gerd
+    Moellmann)
+  * fixed bug in COERCE, which now signals an error on coercing a
+    rational to a bounded real type which excludes the expected
+    answer.
+  * the compiler is now able to derive types more accurately from the
+    COERCE and COMPILE functions.
+  * fixed bug 223: functional binding is considered to be constant
+    only for symbols in the CL package.
+  * fixed bug 231: SETQ did not check the type of a variable being set
+    (reported by Robert E. Brown)
+  * a new optimization for MAKE-INSTANCE has been included, fixing
+    various bugs (including relating to :ALLOCATION :CLASS slots and
+    :DEFAULT-INITARGS over-eager evalueation).  (thanks to Gerd
+    Moellmann)
   * fixed some more bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
