+
+<dl>
+  <dt>New :resolve-symlinks keyword argument for DIRECTORY
+  </dt>
+  <dd>Passing NIL as the value for :resolve-symlinks prevents DIRECTORY from
+    returning truenames.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>LISP-IMPLEMENTATION-VERSION now includes Subversion revision info
+  </dt>
+  <dd>`svnversion` is used to retrieve the state of the working copy
+    being compiled from; the information is included in the value returned
+    by lisp-implementation-version.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Object instantiation speedups
+  </dt>
+  <dd>A cache has been implemented to reduce the number of calculatoins
+    required when determining whether the keyword arguments to
+    MAKE-INSTANCE and REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE are valid.
+  </dd>
+  <dt>Compiler refactoring to prevent further stack inconsistency errors
+  </dt>
+  <dd>Due to earlier changes to the compiler and the overall structure,
+    the Java class verifier would detect 'stack inconsistency' issues
+    in some specific cases. The refactoring should put an end to that.
+    In the short term, however, this change could have a slightly destabilizing
+    effect. Tests have been carried out, but no issues were found so far.
+  </dd>
+  <dd>Instantiation of forward referenced classes
+  </dd>
+  <dt>When trying to instantiate a forward referenced class, the user
+    will not get a vague error anymore, but a clear error about
+    the situation.
+  </dt>
