+* The plugin target has been added to bfd. It can load the same shared objects
+  used by gold and uses them to provide basic support for new file formats.
+
+* The verilog memory hex dump file format is now supported as an output format
+  for objcopy.
+
+* Add --file-alignment, --heap, --image-base, --section-alignment,
+  --stack and --subsystem command line options to objcopy, which will
+  set PE optional header.
+
+* Option --dwarf/-W of objdump is now as flexible as readelf --debug-dump/-w.
+
+* --as-needed now links in a dynamic library if it satisfies undefined
+  symbols in regular objects, or in other dynamic libraries.  In the
+  latter case the library is not linked if it is found in a DT_NEEDED
+  entry of one of the libraries already linked.
+
 * Added --prefix=PREFIX and --prefix-strip=LEVEL switches to objdump to
   add absolute paths for -S.
