 changes relative to sbcl-1.0.49:
   * enhancement: errors from FD handlers now provide a restart to remove
     the offending handler.
+  * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:FIND-DEFINITION-SOURCE now works on structure
+    copiers as well.
+  * enhancement: location of user or system initialization file can now easily
+    be customized for saved cores. See: SB-EXT:*USERINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*
+    and SB-EXT:*SYSINIT-PATHNAME-FUNCTION*.
+  * enhancement: SB-EXT:MAKE-THREAD accepts an argument list designator for
+    the thunk, as a keyword argument, :arguments.
+  * enhancement: constraint propagation is simplified (and sped up) when
+    COMPILATION-SPEED > SPEED.
+  * optimization: extracting bits of a single-float on x86-64 has been
+    optimized. (lp#555201)
+  * meta-optimization: improved compilation speed, especially for large
+    functions. (lp#792363 and lp#394206)
   * bug fix: bound derivation for floating point operations is now more
     careful about rounding possibly closing open bounds. (lp#793771)
   * bug fix: SB-POSIX:SYSCALL-ERROR's argument is now optional. (accidental
     backwards incompatible change in 1.0.48.27)
+  * bug fix: occasional debugger errors in when a type-error occured in a
+    function with dynamic-extent &rest list.
+  * bug fix: &optional and &key supplied-p arguments in DEFSTRUCT
+    boa-construtors can be used to initialized structure slots.
+  * bug fix: FMAKUNBOUND removes the MACRO-FUNCTION, should one exist.
+    (lp#795705, regression)
+  * bug fix: DIRECTORY works better on logical pathnames.
+  * bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM no longer fails spuriously when argument strings
+    are of the order of ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT. (lp#787237)
+  * bug fix: the compiler no longer constant-folds NaNs in
+    MAKE-{SINGLE,DOUBLE}-FLOAT. (lp#486812)
+  * bug fix: FORMAT now handles floating point rounding correct, eg.
+    (format nil "~,1F" 0.01) => "0.0" instead of "0.01" as previously.
+    (lp#308961)
+  * bug fix: style warning during lambda-list introspection of generic
+    functions with both optional and key argments.
