+* Add support for disassembling netronome Flow Processor (NFP) firmware files.
+
+* The AArch64 port now supports showing disassembly notes which are emitted
+  when inconsistencies are found with the instruction that may result in the
+  instruction being invalid.  These can be turned on with the option -M notes
+  to objdump.
+
+* The AArch64 port now emits warnings when a combination of an instruction and
+  a named register could be invalid.
+
+Changes in 2.30:
+
+* Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and --dwarf=links option to objdump
+  which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or .gnu_debugaltlink
+  sections.
+
+  Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links
+  option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug info files
+  to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections.
+
+Changes in 2.29:
+
+* The MIPS port now supports microMIPS eXtended Physical Addressing (XPA)
+  instructions for assembly and disassembly.
+
+* The MIPS port now supports the microMIPS Release 5 ISA for assembly and
+  disassembly.
+
+* The MIPS port now supports the Imagination interAptiv MR2 processor,
+  which implements the MIPS32r3 ISA, the MIPS16e2 ASE as well as a couple
+  of implementation-specific regular MIPS and MIPS16e2 ASE instructions.
+
+* The SPARC port now supports the SPARC M8 processor, which implements the
+  Oracle SPARC Architecture 2017.
+
+* The MIPS port now supports the MIPS16e2 ASE for assembly and disassembly.
+
+* Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX.
+
+* Add support for the wasm32 ELF conversion of the WebAssembly file format.
+
+* Add --inlines option to objdump, which extends the --line-numbers option
+  so that inlined functions will display their nesting information.
+
+* Add --merge-notes options to objcopy to reduce the size of notes in
+  a binary file by merging and deleting redundant notes.
+
+* Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id
+  method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of
+  the original file.
