+* Support for the National Semiconductor CR16 target has been added.
+
+* Added gas .reloc pseudo. This is a low-level interface for creating
+ relocations.
+
+* Add support for x86_64 PE+ target.
+
+* Add support for Score target.
+
+* Support for the Infineon XC16X has been added by KPIT Cummins Infosystems.
+
+* Support for ms2 architecture has been added.
+
+* Support for the Z80 processor family has been added.
+
+* Add support for the "@<file>" syntax to the command line, so that extra
+ switches can be read from <file>.
+
+* The SH target supports a new command line switch --enable-reg-prefix which,
+ if enabled, will allow register names to be optionally prefixed with a $
+ character. This allows register names to be distinguished from label names.
+
+* Macros with a variable number of arguments are now supported. See the
+ documentation for how this works.
+
+* Added --reduce-memory-overheads switch to reduce the size of the hash
+ tables used, at the expense of longer assembly times, and
+ --hash-size=<NUMBER> to set the size of the hash tables used by gas.
+
+* Macro names and macro parameter names can now be any identifier that would
+ also be legal as a symbol elsewhere. For macro parameter names, this is
+ known to cause problems in certain sources when the respective target uses
+ characters inconsistently, and thus macro parameter references may no longer
+ be recognized as such (see the documentation for details).
+
+* Support the .f_floating, .d_floating, .g_floating and .h_floating directives
+ for the VAX target in order to be more compatible with the VAX MACRO
+ assembler.
+
+* New command line option -mtune=[itanium1|itanium2] for IA64 targets.
+
+Changes in 2.16:
+
+* Redefinition of macros now results in an error.
+
+* New command line option -mhint.b=[ok|warning|error] for IA64 targets.
+
+* New command line option -munwind-check=[warning|error] for IA64
+ targets.
+
+* The IA64 port now uses automatic dependency violation removal as its default
+ mode.
+
+* Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
+
+* Added support for generating unwind tables for ARM ELF targets.
+
+* Add a -g command line option to generate debug information in the target's
+ preferred debug format.
+
+* Support for the crx-elf target added.
+
+* Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
+
+* Added a pseudo-op (.secrel32) to generate 32 bit section relative relocations
+ on pe[i]-i386; required for this target's DWARF 2 support.
+
+* Support for Motorola MCF521x/5249/547x/548x added.
+
+* Support for ColdFire EMAC instructions added and Motorola syntax for MAC/EMAC
+ instrucitons.
+
+* New command line option -mno-shared for MIPS ELF targets.
+
+* New command line option --alternate and pseudo-ops .altmacro and .noaltmacro
+ added to enter (and leave) alternate macro syntax mode.
+
+Changes in 2.15:
+
+* The MIPS -membedded-pic option (Embedded-PIC code generation) is
+ deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+
+* Added PIC m32r Linux (ELF) and support to M32R assembler.
+
+* Added support for ARM V6.
+
+* Added support for sh4a and variants.
+
+* Support for Renesas M32R2 added.
+
+* Limited support for Mapping Symbols as specified in the ARM ELF
+ specification has been added to the arm assembler.
+
+* On ARM architectures, added a new gas directive ".unreq" that undoes
+ definitions created by ".req".
+
+* Support for Motorola ColdFire MCF528x added.
+
+* Added --gstabs+ switch to enable the generation of STABS debug format
+ information with GNU extensions.
+
+* Added support for MIPS64 Release 2.
+
+* Added support for v850e1.
+
+* Added -n switch for x86 assembler. By default, x86 GAS replaces
+ multiple nop instructions used for alignment within code sections
+ with multi-byte nop instructions such as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi. This
+ switch disables the optimization.
+
+* Removed -n option from MIPS assembler. It was not useful, and confused the
+ existing -non_shared option.
+
+Changes in 2.14:
+
+* Added support for MIPS32 Release 2.
+
+* Added support for Xtensa architecture.
+
+* Support for Intel's iWMMXt processor (an ARM variant) added.
+
+* An assembler test generator has been contributed and an example file that
+ uses it (gas/testsuite/gas/all/test-gen.c and test-exmaple.c).
+
+* Support for SH2E added.
+
+* GASP has now been removed.
+
+* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
+ DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
+
+* Support for the Ubicom IP2xxx microcontroller added.
+
+Changes in 2.13:
+
+* Support for the Fujitsu FRV architecture added by Red Hat. Models for FR400
+ and FR500 included.
+
+* Support for DLX processor added.
+
+* GASP has now been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use
+ the macro facilities in GAS instead.
+
+* GASP now correctly parses floating point numbers. Unless the base is
+ explicitly specified, they are interpreted as decimal numbers regardless of
+ the currently specified base.
+
+Changes in 2.12:
+
+* Support for Don Knuth's MMIX, by Hans-Peter Nilsson.
+
+* Support for the OpenRISC 32-bit embedded processor by OpenCores.
+
+* The ARM assembler now accepts -march=..., -mcpu=... and -mfpu=... for
+ specifying the target instruction set. The old method of specifying the
+ target processor has been deprecated, but is still accepted for
+ compatibility.
+
+* Support for the VFP floating-point instruction set has been added to
+ the ARM assembler.
+
+* New psuedo op: .incbin to include a set of binary data at a given point
+ in the assembly. Contributed by Anders Norlander.
+
+* The MIPS assembler now accepts -march/-mtune. -mcpu has been deprecated
+ but still works for compatability.
+
+* The MIPS assembler no longer issues a warning by default when it
+ generates a nop instruction from a macro. The new command line option
+ -n will turn on the warning.
+
+Changes in 2.11:
+
+* Support for PDP-11 and 2.11BSD a.out format, by Lars Brinkhoff.
+
+* x86 gas now supports the full Pentium4 instruction set.
+
+* Support for AMD x86-64 architecture, by Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs.
+
+* Support for Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12.
+
+* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C54x (tic54x).
+
+* Support for IA-64.
+
+* Support for i860, by Jason Eckhardt.
+
+* Support for CRIS (Axis Communications ETRAX series).
+
+* x86 gas has a new .arch pseudo op to specify the target CPU architecture.
+
+* x86 gas -q command line option quietens warnings about register size changes
+ due to suffix, indirect jmp/call without `*', stand-alone prefixes, and
+ translating various deprecated floating point instructions.
