+* 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 -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.
+  By Luciano Gemme.
+  
+* Support for the MIPS32, by Anders Norlander.
+
+* Support for the i860, by Jason Eckhardt.
+
+* Support for CRIS (Axis Communications ETRAX series).
+
+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.
+
+Changes in binutils 2.9:
+
+* 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.
