+  * bug fix: SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE option :SAVE-RUNTIME-OPTIONS did not work
+    correctly when starting from an executable core without saved runtime
+    options (reported by Faré Rideau, thanks to Zach Beane)
+  * bug fix: (SETF SLOT-VALUE) signalled a warning which should have been
+    an optimization note instead. (reported by Martin Cracauer)
+  * bug fix: WITH-SLOTS did not work with THE forms. (thanks to David Tolpin)

+changes in sbcl-1.0.31 relative to sbcl-1.0.30:
   * improvement: stack allocation is should now be possible in all nested
     inlining cases: failure to stack allocate when equivalent code is manually
     open coded is now considered a bug.
-  * improvement: the Unicode character database has been upgraded to the
-    Unicode 5.0.1 standard, giving names and properties to a number of new
-    characters, and providing a few extra characters with case
-    transformations.
+  * improvements related to Unicode: 
+    ** the Unicode character database has been upgraded to the
+       Unicode 5.1 standard, giving names and properties to a number of new
+       characters, and providing a few extra characters with case
+       transformations.
+    ** the system now recognizes and produces names for Unicode Hangul 
+       syllable characters.
+    ** the EBCDIC-US external-format is now supported for octet operations
+       (as well as for stream operations).
   * new feature: experimental :EMIT-CFASL parameter to COMPILE-FILE can
     be used to output toplevel compile-time effects into a separate .CFASL
     file.
   * optimization: COERCE to VECTOR, STRING, SIMPLE-STRING and recognizable
     one-dimenstional subtypes of ARRAY is upto 70% faster when the coercion is
     actually needed.
+  * optimization: TRUNCATE on known single- and double-floats is upto 25%
+    faster.
   * optimization: division of floating point numbers by constants uses
     multiplication by reciprocal when an exact reciprocal exists.
   * optimization: multiplication of single- and double-floats floats by
     constant two has been optimized.
   * optimization: ARRAY-IN-BOUNDS-P is resolved at compile-time when
     sufficient type information is available. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
+  * optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) with constant slot names on
+    known structure objects are as efficient as defstruct generated accessors.
+  * optimization: unused vector creation can now be optimized away.
+  * improvement: ASDF systems can now depends on SB-INTROSPECT.
   * improvement: a STYLE-WARNING is signalled when a generic function
     clobbers an earlier FTYPE proclamation.
   * improvement: the compiler is able to track the effective type of

   * improvement: pretty-printing of various Lisp forms has been improved
     (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+  * bug fix: calls to DECODE-FLOAT and INTEGER-DECODE-FLOAT whose value was

+  * bug fix: a failing AVER compiling certain MAKE-ARRAY forms. (reported

   * bug fix: SLEEP supports times over 100 million seconds on long on OpenBSD
     as well. (reported by Josh Elsasser)
   * bug fix: DELETE-FILE on streams no longer closes the stream with :ABORT T,
     leading to possible attempts to delete the same file twice. See docstring
     on DELETE-FILE for details. (reported by John Fremlin)
+  * bug fix: DELETE-FILE once again deletes the file named by the pathname

+    Oliveira)
   * bug fix: the low-level debugger had 32-bit assumptions and was missing
     information about some array types. (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
   * bug fix: moderately complex combinations of inline expansions could
     be miscompiled if the result was declared to be dynamic extent.
+  * bug fix: on x86, SAP-REF of sizes greater than 8 bits with offsets of the
+    form (+ <variable> <integer>) were miscompiled under certain
+    circumstances.
   * bug fix: in some cases no compiler note about failure to stack allocate
     was emitted, even if the objects were in fact heap allocated.
   * bug fix: minor violation of "otherwise inaccessible" rule for stack
