+** Fixed a build problem on AIX (use of func_data identifier)

+called with an associator proc that returns neither a pair nor #f.
+** Secondary threads now always return a valid module for (current-module).
+** Avoid MacOS build problems caused by incorrect combination of "64"
+system and library calls.
+** `guile-snarf' now honors `$TMPDIR'
+** `guile-config compile' now reports CPPFLAGS used at compile-time
+** Fixed build with Sun Studio (Solaris 9)

+uniform vectors on AIX.
+** Fixed a deadlock that occurs upon GC with multiple threads.
+** Fixed compile problem with GCC on Solaris and AIX (use of _Complex_I)
+** Fixed autotool-derived build problems on AIX 6.1.

 * New modules (see the manual for details)
 
 ** `(srfi srfi-69)'
 
+* Documentation fixes and improvements
+
+** Removed premature breakpoint documentation
+
+The features described are not available in the series of 1.8.x
+releases, so the documentation was misleading and has been removed.
+
+** More about Guile's default *random-state* variable
+
+** GOOPS: more about how to use `next-method'
+
+* Changes to the distribution
+
+** Corrected a few files that referred incorrectly to the old GPL + special exception licence
+
+In fact Guile since 1.8.0 has been licensed with the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, and the few incorrect files have now been
+fixed to agree with the rest of the Guile distribution.
+
+** Removed unnecessary extra copies of COPYING*
+
+The distribution now contains a single COPYING.LESSER at its top level.
