     ** --arch option can be used to specify the architecture to build for.
        (Mainly useful for building 32-bit SBCL's on x86-64 hosts, not
        full-blows cross-compilation.)
+  * enhancement: extended package prefix syntax <pkgname>::<form-in-package>
+    which allows specifying the name of the package for a whole form.
+  * enhancement: when *READ-EVAL* is true, arrays with element type other than
+    T can be printed readably using #.-based syntax. (Thanks to Robert Brown)
   * enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN signals a storage-condition instead of returning a
     null alien when malloc() fails. (lp#891268)

   * enhancement: SB-EXT:*SUPPRESS-PRINT-ERRORS* can be used to suppress errors
     from the printer by type, causing an error marker to be printed instead.
     (Thanks to Attila Lendvai)
+  * enhancement: BACKTRACE and DESCRIBE now bind *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T, and
+    generally behave better when errors occur during printing.
+  * enhancement: the test runner now takes a --report-skipped-tests argument
+    to report the individual tests skipped as well as the number of skipped
+    tests.
   * optimization: the compiler is smarter about representation selection for
     floating point constants used in full calls.
+  * optimization: the compiler no longer refuses to coerce large fixnums to
+    single floats inline, except on x86 where this limitation is still
+    necessary.
   * bug fix: deadlock detection could report the same deadlock twice, for
     two different threads. Now a single deadlock is reported exactly once.
   * bug fix: interval-arithmetic division during type derivation did not
