+* Remove -mold-gcc command-line option for x86 targets.
+
+* Add -O[2|s] command-line options to x86 assembler to enable alternate
+ shorter instruction encoding.
+
+* Add support for .nops directive. It is currently supported only for
+ x86 targets.
+
+Changes in 2.30:
+
+* Add support for loaction views in DWARF debug line information.
+
+Changes in 2.29:
+
+* Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND.
+
+* Add support for the WebAssembly file format and wasm32 ELF conversion.
+
+* PowerPC gas now checks that the correct register class is used in
+ instructions. For instance, "addi %f4,%cr3,%r31" warns three times
+ that the registers are invalid.
+
+* Add support for the Texas Instruments PRU processor.
+
+* Support for the ARMv8-R architecture and Cortex-R52 processor has been
+ added to the ARM port.
+
+Changes in 2.28:
+
+* Add support for the RISC-V architecture.
+
+* Add support for the ARM Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors.
+
+Changes in 2.27:
+
+* Default to --enable-compressed-debug-sections=gas for Linux/x86 targets.
+
+* Add --no-pad-sections to stop the assembler from padding the end of output
+ sections up to their alignment boundary.
+
+* Support for the ARMv8-M architecture has been added to the ARM port. Support
+ for the ARMv8-M Security and DSP Extensions has also been added to the ARM
+ port.
+
+* ARC backend accepts .extInstruction, .extCondCode, .extAuxRegister, and
+ .extCoreRegister pseudo-ops that allow an user to define custom
+ instructions, conditional codes, auxiliary and core registers.
+
+* Add a configure option --enable-elf-stt-common to decide whether ELF
+ assembler should generate common symbols with the STT_COMMON type by
+ default. Default to no.
+
+* New command line option --elf-stt-common= for ELF targets to control
+ whether to generate common symbols with the STT_COMMON type.
+
+* Add ability to set section flags and types via numeric values for ELF
+ based targets.
+
* Add a configure option --enable-x86-relax-relocations to decide whether
x86 assembler should generate relax relocations by default. Default to
yes, except for x86 Solaris targets older than Solaris 12.
* Add assembly-time relaxation option for ARC cpus.
+* Add --with-cpu=TYPE configure option for ARC gas. This allows the default
+ cpu type to be adjusted at configure time.
+
Changes in 2.26:
* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,gas} to
of new CPUs and formats, lots of bugs fixed.
