+  * minor incompatible change: SB-THREAD:JOIN-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD and
+    SB-THREAD:INTERRUPT-THREAD-ERROR-THREAD have been deprecated in favor
+    of SB-THREAD:THREAD-ERROR-THREAD.
+  * new contrib module: SB-QUEUE provides thread-safe lockless FIFO queues.
+  * new feature: docstrings for local and anonymous functions are no longer
+    discarded. (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
+  * new feature: SB-THREAD:SYMBOL-VALUE-IN-THREAD provides access to symbol
+    values in other threads.
+  * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT:ALLOCATION-INFORMATION provides information
+    about object allocation.
   * optimization: more efficient type-checks for FIXNUMs when the value
     is known to be a signed word on x86 and x86-64.
+  * optimization: compiler now optimizes (EXPT -1 INTEGER), (EXPT -1.0 INTEGER),
+    and (EXPT -1.0d0 INTEGER) into an ODDP test. (thanks to Stas Boukarev and
+    Paul Khuong)
+  * improvement: DESCRIBE output has been reworked to be easier to read and
+    contains more pertinent information.
   * improvement: failure to provide requested stack allocation compiler notes
     provided in all cases (requested stack allocation not happening without a
     note being issued is now considered a bug.)
+  * optimization: compiler is smarter about delegating argument type checks to
+    callees.
   * bug fix: on 64 bit platforms FILL worked incorrectly on arrays with
     upgraded element type (COMPLEX SINGLE-FLOAT), regression from 1.0.28.55.

   * bug fix: better error signalling when calls to functions seeking elements
     from lists (eg. ADJOIN) are compiled with both :TEST and :TEST-NOT.
