+  * incompatible packaging change: in line with Unix convention, 
+    SBCL now looks for its core file in /usr/{local/,}lib/sbcl/sbcl.core 
+    if it's not in $SBCL_HOME.  It also sets SBCL_HOME to match.
+  * REQUIRE and PROVIDE are now optionally capable of doing something
+    useful: see the documentation string for REQUIRE
+  * infrastructure for a managed SBCL contrib system: contributed 
+    modules in this release include:
+    ** the ASDF system definition facility;
+    ** an interface to the BSD Sockets API;
+    ** an ACL-like convenience interface to the repl; 
+       (thanks to Kevin Rosenberg)
+    ** an implementation of ROTATE-BYTE, with efficient implementation
+       on x86 hardware;
   * fixed a bug in LOG, so that LOG of a rational argument near 1 now
     gives a closer approximation to the right answer than previously.
