+* Macros with a variable number of arguments are now supported. See the
+  documentation for how this works.
+
+* Added --reduce-memory-overheads switch to reduce the size of the hash
+  tables used, at the expense of longer assembly times, and
+  --hash-size=<NUMBER> to set the size of the hash tables used by gas.
+
+* Macro names and macro parameter names can now be any identifier that would
+  also be legal as a symbol elsewhere. For macro parameter names, this is
+  known to cause problems in certain sources when the respective target uses
+  characters inconsistently, and thus macro parameter references may no longer
+  be recognized as such (see the documentation for details).
+  
+* Support the .f_floating, .d_floating, .g_floating and .h_floating directives
+  for the VAX target in order to be more compatible with the VAX MACRO
+  assembler.
+
+* New command line option -mtune=[itanium1|itanium2] for IA64 targets.

+
+* The IA64 port now uses automatic dependency violation removal as its default
+  mode.

 * Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
 
 * Added support for generating unwind tables for ARM ELF targets.
