     that the various BOOLE-related constants have the same value in
     host and target lisps.  (noted by Paul Dietz' test suite on an
     SBCL binary built from CLISP)
+  * The system can now be dynamically linked on the MIPS platform,
+    which enables dynamic loading of foreign code from Lisp.  (thanks
+    to Ralf Baechle for discussions on the MIPS ABI)
+  * The system now records debugging information for its own source
+    files in a filesystem-position-independent manner, relative to 
+    the "SYS" logical host.
   * fixed a compiler bug: MV-LET convertion did not check references
     to the "max args" entry point.  (reported by Brian Downing)
   * tweaked disassembly notes to be less confident about proclaiming
     some instruction as an LRA.  (thanks to Brian Downing)
+  * contrib update: SB-ACLREPL is now threadsafe; multiple listeners
+    now each have their own history, command character, and other
+    characteristics.  (thanks to David Lichteblau)
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** compiler failure in compiling LOGAND expressions including a
-       constant 0.
-    ** implementation of ASH-MOD32 on X86 did not work for the shift
-       greater than 32.
+       constant 0
+    ** Implementation of ASH-MOD32 on X86 and PPC did not work for the
+       shift greater than 32.
     ** FLUSH-DEST did not mark blocks for type check regeneration.
+    ** HANDLER-CASE failed to accept declarations in handler clauses
+       in some circumstances.
+
+changes in sbcl-0.8.7 relative to sbcl-0.8.6:
+  * bug fix: GET-SETF-EXPANSION no longer throws an internal type
+    error when called without an explicit environment argument.
+    (thanks to Nikodemus Siivola)
+  * bug fix: buffered :DIRECTION :IO streams are less likely to become
+    confused about their position.  (thanks to Adam Warner and Gerd 
+    Moellmann)
+  * ASDF-INSTALL bug fix: now parses *PROXY* properly.  (thanks to
+    Sean Ross)
+  * SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS enhancement: simple-streams can now be used as
+    streams for the REPL, for the debugger, and so on.  (thanks to
+    David Licteblau)
+  * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
+    ** the value of the :REHASH-THRESHOLD argument to MAKE-HASH-TABLE
+       is ignored if it is too small, rather than propagating through
+       to cause DIVIDE-BY-ZERO or FLOATING-POINT-OVERFLOW errors.
+    ** extremely complex negations of CONS types were not being
+       sufficiently canonicalized, leading to inconsistencies in
+       SUBTYPEP.
