-* [r15775] Update to jna-5.14.0 seemingly fixing problems with CFFI for at least arm64-openjdk-21
+* [r15780] Correctly signal error for incorrect MAKE-PATHNAME-TYPE
+
+* [r15775]ff. Update to jna-5.18.1.  Support for CFFI is wonky under
+  darwin-arm64 with later JDKs: openjdk{11,17,25} succeed without segv
+  but with dubious results.
+
+* [r15779] (Tarn W. Burton) Add support for implementing
+  CL:FILE-LENGTH in for Gray streams. This is done via the
+  GRAY-STREAMS:STREAM-FILE-LENGTH generic function.
+
+* [r15776] (Tarn W. Burton) Implement SETfable Gray streams format
+  support with GRAY-STREAMS:STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT.

+* [r15749] (Tarn W. Burton) Add support for implementing
   CL:INTERACTIVE-STREAM-P in for Gray streams. This is done via by
   making CL:INTERACTIVE-STREAM-P a generic function when the Gray
   streams module is required.

+* [r15748][r15745] (Tarn W. Burton) Add support for stream specific
