   * incompatible change: removed writer methods for host-ent-name,
     host-ent-addresses -- changing the values did not update the DNS

     in multithreaded application code.
   * optimization: GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME has been optimized on POSIX
     platforms. (thanks to James Anderson for the optimization hint)
+  * optimization: REPLACE, SUBSEQ, and COPY-SEQ are now optimized in
+    more cases.
+  * optimization: STRING-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATER-P} and their NOT-
+    variants no longer cons.
+  * optimization: Direct calls to CHAR-{EQUAL,LESSP,GREATERP} and
+    their NOT- variants no longer cons.
+  * optimization: EQUAL hash tables no longer use SXHASH for objects
+    of all data types, but instead use an EQL hash for types for which
+    EQUAL is the same as EQL.
+  * optimization: the non-inlined generic versions of AREF and (SETF AREF)
+    are significantly faster.
+  * optimization: new STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM implementation is much
+    faster for large outputs and conses 30% less on average.
+  * enhancement: XREF information is now collected for references made
+    to global variables using SYMBOL-VALUE and a constant argument.
+  * enhancement: SIGINT now causes a specific condition
+    SB-SYS:INTERACTIVE-INTERRUPT to be signalled.
+  * bug fix: FILE-POSITION used to signal an error in some cases where
+    ANSI requires it to return NIL.
+  * bug fix: ADJUST-ARRAY is now interrupt-safe.
+  * bug fix: adding and removing fd-handlers is now interrupt-safe.
+  * bug fix: inlined calls to C now ensure 16byte stack alignment on
+    x86/Darwin.
+  * bug fix: bad type declaration in the CLOS implementation has
+    been fixed. (reported by James Anderson)
+  * bug fix: incorrect ROOM reporting on x86-64 has been fixed.
+    (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+  * bug fix: DEFSETF now allows &ENVIRONMENT and disallows &AUX as
+    required by the CLHS. (reported by Samium Gromoff)
+  * bug fix: dead unbound variable references now signal an error.
+    (reported by Marco Monteiro)
+  * bug fix: / with an unused value was being deleted in safe code.
+    (thanks to Marco Monteiro and Kevin Reid)
   * bug fix: number of characters that can be written onto a single
     line in a file is unlimited.
   * bug fix: some GC deadlocks caused by asynchronous interrupts have
     been fixed by inhibiting interrupts for when GC is disbled.
-  * bug fix: GETHASH, PUTHASH, CLRHASH and REMHASH are now interrupt safe.
+  * bug fix: some interrupt safety issues with GETHASH, (SETF
+    GETHASH), CLRHASH and REMHASH have been fixed.
   * bug fix: binding *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS* to a value that is not a type
     specifier no longer causes infinite recursion.
-  * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests and
-    should be considered non-experimental.
+  * bug fix: SB-EXT:MUFFLE-CONDITIONS declarations no longer trigger a 
+    bogus warning in DEFMETHOD bodies. (reported by Kevin Reid)
+  * bug fix: an &environment argument with the correct variable information
+    is passed to macros that are expanded during byte compilation.
+    (reported by Samium Gromoff)
+  * bug fix: a logic error was causing the hash function for bignums to
+    have excessive amounts of collisions. (reported by Faré Rideau)
+  * bug fix: modifying the contents of an array could change the return
+    value of SXHASH on that array, which is only allowed for strings 
+    and bit vectors. (bug introduced in 0.9.16)
+  * improvement: the x86-64/darwin port now passes all tests (except
+    for the debugger tests) but should still be considered
+    experimental until this is fixed.
+  * improvement: a style-warning is signaled for CASE (etc) clauses with
+    duplicate keys. (thanks to Kevin Reid)
+  * improvement: macos/x86 and macos/x86-64 now use mach exception
+    handlers for dealing with illegal instructions (for trapping and
+    error handling) and memory protection violations (for GC).
 
 changes in sbcl-1.0.4 relative to sbcl-1.0.3:
   * new platform: experimental support for x86-64/darwin (MacOS).
