 ** Fix possible buffer overruns when parsing numbers
+** Fix random number generator on 64-bit platforms
+
+Previously the `scm_c_random' function would crash or return only 32-bit
+worth of randomness.  In addition, the new `scm_c_random64' function
+explicitly returns 64 bits of randomness.
+
+** Add missing range checks in `vector-move-left!' and `vector-move-right!'
+
+Previously these procedures could write past the end of a vector.
+
 ** Avoid clash with system setjmp/longjmp on IA64
 ** Don't dynamically link an extension that is already registered
 ** Fix `wrong type arg' exceptions with IPv6 addresses
 ** Fix typos in `(srfi srfi-19)'
 ** Have `(srfi srfi-35)' provide named struct vtables
+** Fix C documentation extraction ("snarfing") with recent GCC versions
 ** Fix some Interix build problems
+** Fix Tru64 build problems
+** Fix GC-related build issues on Solaris 10 x86 with Sun Studio 12
+** Several small documentation fixes

-The Scheme side of GDS is installed automatically by Guile. The Emacs
-Lisp side, however, is not. You will have to grab
address@hidden, @file{gds-scheme.el}, and @file{gds.el} from

+The Scheme side of GDS is systematically installed with Guile, whereas

address@hidden files) is only installed if Emacs was detected at
address@hidden  Before using GDS, make sure these files are
+installed and are in Emacs' load path (@pxref{Lisp Libraries,
address@hidden,, emacs, GNU Emacs Manual}).
 
 (If GDS's Scheme code is not installed in one of the locations in
 Guile's load path, you may find that the server process fails to start.
