+* objcopy recognizes two new options --strip-unneeded-symbol and
+ --strip-unneeded-symbols, namely for use together with the wildcard
+ matching the original --strip-symbol/--strip-symbols provided, but
+ retaining any symbols matching but needed by relocations.
+
+* readelf can now display address ranges from .debug_range sections. This
+ happens automatically when a DW_AT_range attribute is encountered. The
+ command line switch --debug-dump=Ranges (or -wR) can also be used to display
+ the contents of the .debug_range section.
+
+* nm and objdump now have a switch "--special-syms" to enable the displaying of
+ symbols which the target considers to be special. By default these symbols
+ are no longer displayed. Currently the only special symbols are the Mapping
+ symbols used by the ARM port to mark transitions between text and data and
+ between ARM and THUMB code.
+
+* dlltool has a switch "--ext-prefix-alias <prefix>" to generate additional
+ import and export symbols with <preifx> prepended to them.
+
+Changes in 2.15:
+
* objcopy and strip can now take wildcard patterns in symbol names specified on
the command line provided that the --wildcard switch is used to enable them.
