+* Support for the i860, by Jason Eckhardt.
+
 Changes in binutils 2.10:
 
+* 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
