 Changes in 1.8.5 (since 1.8.4)
 
+* Infrastructure changes
+
+** Guile repository switched from CVS to Git
+
+The new repository can be accessed using
+"git-clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guile.git", or can be browsed on-line at
+http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git .  See `README' for details.
+
+* New features (see the manual for details)
+
+** New `postfix' read option, for SRFI-88 keyword syntax
+** Some I/O primitives have been inlined, which improves I/O performance
+
 * Bugs fixed
 
-** `scm add_slot ()' no longer segfaults (fixes bug #22369)
+** `scm_add_slot ()' no longer segfaults (fixes bug #22369)
+** Fixed `(ice-9 match)' for patterns like `((_ ...) ...)'
+
+Previously, expressions like `(match '((foo) (bar)) (((_ ...) ...) #t))'
+would trigger an unbound variable error for `match:andmap'.
+
+** `(oop goops describe)' now properly provides the `describe' feature
+** Fixed `args-fold' from `(srfi srfi-37)'
+
+Previously, parsing short option names of argument-less options would
+lead to a stack overflow.
+
+** Fixed type-checking for the second argument of `eval'
+** Fixed `struct-ref' and `struct-set!' on "light structs"
+** Honor struct field access rights in GOOPS
+** Changed the storage strategy of source properties, which fixes a deadlock
+** Allow compilation of Guile-using programs in C99 mode with GCC 4.3 and later
 ** Fixed build issue for GNU/Linux on IA64
+** Fixed build issues on NetBSD 1.6
+** Fixed build issue on Solaris 2.10 x86_64
+** Fixed build issue with DEC/Compaq/HP's compiler
+** Fixed `scm_from_complex_double' build issue on FreeBSD
+** Fixed `alloca' build issue on FreeBSD 6
+** Fixed shadowing of libc's <random.h> on Tru64, which broke compilation
+** Make sure all tests honor `$TMPDIR'
+
+* Changes to the distribution
+
+** New FAQ
+
+We've started collecting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), and will
+distribute these (with answers!) in future Guile releases.
