@@ -1250,6 +1250,25 @@ changes in sbcl-0.7.7 relative to sbcl-0.7.6:
   * The fasl file version number has changed again. (because of the
     bug fix involving the names of PCL MAKE-INSTANCE functions)
 
+changes in sbcl-0.7.8 relative to sbcl-0.7.7:
+  * A beta-quality port to the mips architecture running Linux,
+    based on the old CMUCL backend, has been made.  It has been tested
+    on a big-endian kernel, and works sufficiently well to be able to
+    rebuild itself; it has not been tested in little-endian mode.
+  * fixed bug 120a: The compiler now deals correctly with IFs where
+    the consequent is the same as the alternative, instead of
+    misderiving the return type. (thanks to Alexey Dejneka)
+  * fixed bug 113: Logical pathnames are now dumpable (the logical
+    host is resolved at load-time, throwing an error if it is not
+    found).
+  * fixed bug 174: FORMAT's error message is slightly clearer when a
+    non-printing character is used in a format directive.
+  * fixed several bugs in compiler checking of type declarations, i.e.
+    violations of the Python "declarations are assertions" principle
+    (thanks to Alexey Dejneka)
+  * fixed several bugs in PCL's error checking (thanks to Gerd
+    Moellmann)

 planned incompatible changes in 0.7.x:
 * When the profiling interface settles down, maybe in 0.7.x, maybe
   later, it might impact TRACE. They both encapsulate functions, and
