My possibly-significant local changes consist of:

implementing bridge methods
?                    testsuite/bridge.scm
M             7156   gnu/expr/ClassExp.java

a fix to make srfi13's string-contains work
M             7156   gnu/kawa/slib/srfi13.scm

an optimization to SetExp so that fields with ConstantValue attributes
(define-constant) aren't needlessly re-initialized in clinit
M             7156   gnu/expr/SetExp.java


I'm pretty sure I've sent patches corresponding to each of those, but
if you want me to resend any for inclusion in 1.12 let me know.
