+* arm-symbianelf support removed.
+
+Changes in 2.36:
+
+* Add support for Intel AVX VNNI instructions.
+
+* Add support for Intel HRESET instruction.
+
+* Add support for Intel UINTR instructions.
+
+* Support non-absolute segment values for i386 lcall and ljmp.
+
+* When setting the link order attribute of ELF sections, it is now possible to
+ use a numeric section index instead of symbol name.
+
+* Add support for Cortex-A78, Cortex-A78AE, Cortex-A78C and Cortex-X1 for
+ AArch64 and ARM.
+ Add support for Cortex-R82, Neoverse V1, and Neoverse N2 for ARM.
+
+* Add support for ETMv4 (Embedded Trace Macrocell), ETE (Embedded Trace
+ Extension), TRBE (Trace Buffer Extension)and BRBE (Branch Record Buffer
+ Extension) system registers for AArch64.
+
+* Add support for Armv8-R and Armv8.7-A AArch64.
+
+* Add support for DSB memory nXS barrier, WFET and WFIT instruction for Armv8.7
+ AArch64.
+
+* Add support for +flagm feature for -march in Armv8.4 AArch64.
+
+* Add support for +ls64 feature for -march in Armv8.7 AArch64. Add atomic
+ 64-byte load/store instructions for this feature.
+
+* Add support for +pauth (Pointer Authentication) feature for -march in
+ AArch64.
+
+* Add support for Intel TDX instructions.
+
+* Add support for Intel Key Locker instructions.
+
+* Added a .nop directive to generate a single no-op instruction in a target
+ neutral manner. This instruction does have an effect on DWARF line number
+ generation, if that is active.
+
+* Removed --reduce-memory-overheads and --hash-size as gas now
+ uses hash tables that can be expand and shrink automatically.
+
+* Add {disp16} pseudo prefix to x86 assembler.
+
+* Add support for Intel AMX instructions.
+
+* Configure with --enable-x86-used-note by default for Linux/x86.
+
+* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag, which can be applied to
+ sections using the 'R' flag in the .section directive.
+ SHF_GNU_RETAIN specifies that the section should not be garbage
+ collected by the linker. It requires the GNU or FreeBSD ELF OSABIs.
+
+Changes in 2.35:
+
+* X86 NaCl target support is removed.
+
+* Extend .symver directive to update visibility of the original symbol
+ and assign one original symbol to different versioned symbols.
+
+* Add support for Intel SERIALIZE and TSXLDTRK instructions.
+
+* Add -mlfence-after-load=, -mlfence-before-indirect-branch= and
+ -mlfence-before-ret= options to x86 assembler to help mitigate
+ CVE-2020-0551.
+
+* Add --gdwarf-5 option to the assembler to generate DWARF 5 debug output
+ (if such output is being generated). Added the ability to generate
+ version 5 .debug_line sections.
+
+* Add -mbig-obj support to i386 MingW targets.
+
+Changes in 2.34:
+
+* Add -malign-branch-boundary=NUM, -malign-branch=TYPE[+TYPE...],
+ -malign-branch-prefix-size=NUM and -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries
+ options to x86 assembler to align branches within a fixed boundary
+ with segment prefixes or NOPs.
+
+* Add support for Zilog eZ80 and Zilog Z180 CPUs.
+
+* Add support for z80-elf target.
+
+* Add support for relocation of each byte or word of multibyte value to Z80
+ targets (just use right shift to 0, 8, 16, or 24 bits or AND operation
+ with 0xff/0xffff mask): ld a, label >> 16 \ ld hl, label & 0xffff
+
+* Add SDCC support for Z80 targets.
+
Changes in 2.33:
* Add support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension version 2 (SVE2)
of new CPUs and formats, lots of bugs fixed.
