   * 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.
   * 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: 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: 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
+    generic function across method addition and removal even in the
+    absence of an explicit DEFGENERIC.
+  * improvement: DESCRIBE now reports on symbols naming undefined
+    but assumed or declared function as well.
+  * improvement: recompilation of systems using SB-GROVEL now works
+    (thanks to Leslie Polzer)
+  * improvements to SB-CLTL2 (thanks to Larry D'Anna):
+    ** functions DECLARATION-INFORMATION, PARSE-MACRO, and ENCLOSE have been
+       documented.
+    ** AUGMENT-ENVIRONMENT and DEFINE-DECLARATION have been implemented.
+    ** DECLARATION-INFORMATION now supports declaration name DECLARATION as
+       well as user defined declaration names.
+    ** VARIABLE-INFORMATION is now aware of alien variables.
+  * improvement: improved address space layout on OpenBSD (thanks to Josh
+    Elsasser)
+  * improvement: pretty-printing of various Lisp forms has been improved
+    (thanks to Tobias Rittweiler)
+  * bug fix: a failing AVER in CONVERT-MV-CALL has been fixed. (thanks to
+    Larry D'Anna)
+  * bug fix: a failing AVER in %ALLOCATE-CLOSURES conversion has been fixed
+    (thanks to Larry D'Anna)
+  * 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: 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: in some cases no compiler note about failure to stack allocate
