   * fixed bugs 19 and 317: fixed-format floating point printing is
     more accurate.  This also fixes a bug reported by Adam Warner
     related to the ~@F format directive.
+  * fixed bug 371: bignum print/read inconsistency. (thanks to Harald
+    Hanche-Olsen)
   * fixed bug: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR correctly shallow-copies a
     dispatch table if the from-char is a dispatch macro character.
   * fixed bug: COUNT and EQUAL on bit vectors with lengths divisible
     by the wordsize no longer ignore the last word.  (reported by Lutz
     Euler)
+  * fixed bug in type checking of dynamic-extent variables. (reported
+    by Svein Ove Aas)
   * optimization: sequence traversal functions use their freedom to
     coerce function designators to functions.
   * optimization: code with many calls to CLOS methods specialized on
     CLOS classes has had redundant type checks removed.
+  * optimization: added declarations to speed up operations that access
+    the internal character database (for example STRING-UPCASE)
+  * optimization: comparison operations between floats and sufficiently small
+    fixnums no longer create extra rationals
   * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
