   * enhancement: saving cores with foreign code loaded is now
     supported on ppc/Darwin in addition to the previously supported
     platforms.
+  * enhancement: the statistical profiler now walks deeper into the 
+    call stack for more meaningful call-graphs and accrued time
+    reports (x86/x86-64 only). It also now reports time spent in
+    foreign functions.
+  * enhancement: it is now possible to trace most individual methods
+    of a generic function in addition to tracing the generic function
+    itself.
   * bug fix: invalid :DEFAULT-INITARGS are detected in compiled calls
     to MAKE-INSTANCE.

     produces an error.  (thanks to Vincent Arkesteijn)
   * bug fix: NAMESTRING on pathnames with :WILD components in their
     directories works correctly.  (thanks to Artem V. Andreev)
+  * fixed bug 125: compiler preserves identity of closures. (reported
+    by Gabe Garza)
+  * bug fixed: functions with &REST arguments sometimes failed with
+    "Undefined function" when compiled with (DEBUG 3). (reported by
+    Robert J. Macomber)
+  * bug fix: overflow during compiling of setting element of a bit
+    vector with constant index and value. (reported by Timmy Douglas)
   * build fix: fixed the dependence on *LOAD-PATHNAME* and
     *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* being absolute pathnames.
+  * on x86 compiler partially supports stack allocation of dynamic-extent
+    closures.
+  * GO and RETURN-FROM do not check the extent of their exit points
+    when compiled with SAFETY 0.
   * fixed some bugs related to Unicode integration:
     ** encoding and decoding errors are now much more robustly
        handled; it should now be possible to recover even from invalid
        input or output to the terminal.  (thanks to Teemu Kalvas)
+    ** provided a first cut at implementing STRING-TO-OCTETS and
+       OCTETS-TO-STRING.  (thanks to Robert J. Macomber)
+    ** altered the SB-MD5 contributed module slightly, changing the
+       interface just enough for it to be supportable for builds where
+       lisp characters are not eight bits.
   * fixed some bugs revealed by Paul Dietz' test suite:
     ** the FORMATTER-generated functions for ~V[ conditionals require
        the correct number of arguments.
+    ** READ-FROM-STRING returns the mandated second value when applied
+       to displaced strings.
+    ** the #\Rubout and #\Backspace characters are treated as invalid
+       constituent characters by the tokenizer.
