   * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:WHO-SPECIALIZES-GENERALLY to get a list of
     definitions for methods specializing on the passed class itself, or on
     subclasses of it.
-  * fixes and improvements related to external formats:
+  * new build flag: :sb-xref-for-internals; SBCL will collect xref information
+    about itself during the build (e.g. for M-? in Slime), if this flag is
+    enabled in customize-target-features.lisp. This will increase the core
+    size by about 5-6mb, though, so it's mostly interesting to SBCL
+    developers.
+  * new feature: various GENCGC tuning parameters have been experimentally
+    documented and exported from SB-EXT. See documentation for details.
+  * fixes and improvements related to Unicode and external formats:
+    ** the Unicode character database has been upgraded to the
+       Unicode 5.2 standard, giving names and properties to a number of new
+       characters, and providing a few extra characters with case
+       transformations.
+    ** improvement: restarts for providing replacement input/output on coding
+       errors for fd-stream external formats.
+    ** improvement: where :<encoding> is a keyword corresponding to an
+       external format the system supports, it is now possible to specify
+       (:<encoding> :replacement <character>) as an external format which will
+       automatically substitute <character> on encoding or decoding errors for
+       streams and for STRING-TO-OCTETS and its inverse.  (launchpad bug
+       #317072)
+    ** improvement: the file streams underlying the standard streams (such as
+       *STANDARD-INPUT*, *TERMINAL-IO*) are opened with an external format 
+       which uses the replacement mechanism to handle encoding errors,
+       preventing various infinite error chains and unrecoverable I/O
+       confusion.
+    ** minor incompatible change: the utf-8 external format now correctly
+       refuses to encode Lisp characters in the surrogate range (char-codes
+       between #xd800 and #xdfff).
     ** fix a typo preventing conversion of strings into octet vectors
        in the latin-2 encoding.  (reported by Attila Lendvai; launchpad bug
        #471689)
+    ** fix a bug in the octet multibyte handling of decoding errors and the
+       USE-VALUE restart.  (launchpad bug #314939)
+    ** fix the bug underlying the expected failure in the FORCE-END-OF-FILE
+       restart on fd-stream decoding errors.
+    ** fix a bug in the ATTEMPT-RESYNC fd-stream decoding restart when the
+       error is near the end of file.
+    ** fix a double-error case in unibyte octet conversions, when the first
+       use of USE-VALUE is ignored.
+    ** fix bugs in handling of undefined code points in unibyte encodings.
+    ** fix LISTEN (and consequent hangs in READ-CHAR-NO-HANG) on bivalent
+       streams after an UNREAD-CHAR.
+  * enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also reports if the
+    object is allocated in a boxed region of dynamic space.
+  * enhancement: SB-POSIX:FORK now signals an error if an attempt to
+    fork with multiple Lisp threads running is made, instead of going
+    ahead with unpredictable consequences. (reported by Leslie Polzer)
   * bug fix: uses of slot accessors on specialized method parameters within
     the bodies of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS methods no longer triggers a type
     error while finalizing the class.  This fix may cause classes with slot

   * bug fix: inspecting closures is less likely to fail with a type error.
   * bug fix: no timer starvation when setting the system clock back.

+  * bug fix: WITH-STANDARD-IO-SYNTAX now binds *PRINT-PPRINT-DISPATCH* to the
