   * bug fix: ROUND and TRUNCATE could, under certain circumstances on
     the PPC platform, lead to stack corruption; this has been fixed.
     (reported by Rainer Joswig)
+  * bug fix: ASH on an (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32) with a shift of -32 or lower
+    no longer ever returns 1 instead of 0.  (thanks to Lars Brinkhoff)
   * optimization: restored some effective method precomputation in
     CLOS (turned off by an ANSI fix in sbcl-0.8.3); the amount of
     precomputation is now tunable.
   * optimization: compiler-internal data structure use has been
     reviewed, and changes have been made that should improve the
     performance of the compiler by about 20%.
+  * optimization: performance of FILL (and :INITIAL-ELEMENT) on
+    simple-base-strings and simple-bit-vectors is improved.
   * microoptimization: the compiler is better able to make use of the
     x86 LEA instruction for multiplication by constants.
   * bug fix: in some situations compiler did not report usage of
