       iso8859-1 and utf-8 are supported.  Utf-8 support is limited
       since CMUCL only has 8-bit characters.
     - UNIX-MPROTECT added to access mprotect.
-    - EXT:DOUBLE-DOUBLE-FLOAT type added, which is an extended
-      precision number type with about 31 digits of precision.  It is
-      fully integrated with the FLOAT type.  The exponent marker is
-      "w".
 
   * ANSI compliance fixes:
     - BOA constructors with &AUX variables are handled better now.
