+* Support for IP2K added by Denis Chertykov.
+
+Changes in 2.13:
+
+* Support for the Fujitsu FRV architecture added by Red Hat. Models for FR400
+ and FR500 included.
+
+Changes in version 2.12:
+
+* Support for Don Knuth's MMIX, by Hans-Peter Nilsson.
+
+* size: Add --totals to display summary of sizes (Berkeley format only).
+
+* readelf: Add --wide option to not break section header or segment listing
+ lines to fit into 80 columns.
+
+* strings: Add --encoding to display wide character strings. By Markus Kuhn.
+
+* objcopy: Add --rename-section to change section names.
+
+* readelf: Support added for DWARF 2.1 extensions. Support added for
+ displaying the contents of .debug.macinfo sections.
+
+* New command line switches added to objcopy to allow symbols to be kept as
+ global symbols, and also to specify files containing lists of such symbols.
+ by Honda Hiroki.
+
+* Support for OpenRISC by Johan Rydberg.
+
+* New command line switch to objcopy --alt-machine-code which creates a binary
+ with an alternate machine code if one is defined in the architecture
+ description. Only supported for ELF targets. By Alexandre Oliva.
+
+* New command line switch to objcopy -B (or --binary-architecture) which sets
+ the architecture of the output file to the given argument. This option only
+ makes sense, if the input target is binary. Otherwise it is ignored.
+ By Stefan Geuken.
+
+* Support for PDP-11 by Lars Brinkhoff.
+
+Changes in binutils 2.11:
+
+* Add support for ARM v5t and v5te architectures and Intel's XScale ARM
+ extenstions.
+
+* Add --srec-len and --srec-forceS3 command line switch to objcopy.

+* Support for the MIPS32, by Anders Norlander.

+Changes in binutils 2.10:
+
+* Support for 64-bit ELF on HPPA.
+
+* New command line switch to objdump --file-start-context which shows the
+ entire file contents up to the source line first encountered for a given
+ file.
+
+* New command line switch to objdump -M (or --disassembler-options) which takes
+ a parameter which can then be interpreted on a per-target basis by the
+ disassembler. Used by ARM targets to select register name sets, ISA, APCS or
+ raw verions.
+
+* objdump support for -mi386:intel which causes disassembly to be displayed
+ with intel syntax.
+
+* New program: readelf. This displays the contents of ELF format files,
+ regardless of target machine.
+
+* objcopy now takes --change-section-lma, --change-section-vma, and
+ --change-section-address options. The old --adjust-section-vma option is
+ equivalent to --change-section-address. The other --adjust-* options are now
+ renamed to --change-*, although --adjust-* continues to work.
+
+* objcopy has a --redefine-sym option that lets you rename symbols.
+
+* objcopy now takes a -j/--only-section option to copy only the specified
+ sections.
+
+* dlltool now supports the IMPORTS command.
+
+* dlltool now takes --export-all-symbols, --no-export-all-symbols,
+ --exclude-symbols, and --no-default-excludes options.

+
+* Added windres program, which can be used to manipulate resources in WIN32
+ files as used on Windows 95 and Windows NT.
+
+* The objcopy --gap-fill and --pad-to options operate on the LMA rather than
+ the VMA of the sections.
+
+* Added S modifier to ar to not build a symbol table.
+
Changes in binutils 2.8:
* The objdump disassembly format has been changed, and hopefully improved. Use
* Added -C/--demangle option to objdump.
+* Added -p/--preserve-dates option to strip and objcopy.
+
