+  * bug fix: on 64 bit platforms FILL worked incorrectly on arrays with
+    upgraded element type (COMPLEX SINGLE-FLOAT), regression from 1.0.28.55.

   * minor incompatible change: under weak type checking policy integer
     types are weakened less aggressively.
   * minor incompatible change: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE :TOPLEVEL function is now
     allowed to return, which causes SBCL to quit with exit status 0. Previously
     if the function returned with a small integer return value, that value
     was accidentally reused as the exit status.
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFINE-HASH-TABLE-TEST allows defining new arguments
+    to MAKE-HASH-TABLE :TEST, and MAKE-HASH-TABLE has been extended with
+    :HASH-FUNCTION argument. Refer to user manual for details.
   * new feature: SB-EXT:DEFGLOBAL macro allows defining global non-special
     variables.
+  * new feature: SB-EXT:GET-TIME-OF-DAY provides access to seconds and
+    microseconds since the Unix epoch on all platforms.
   * new feature: SB-EXT:ALWAYS-BOUND proclamation inhibits MAKUNBOUND, and
     allows the compiler to safely elide boundedness checks for special
     variables.
