+New psuedo op: .incbin to include a set of binary data at a given point
+in the assembly. Contributed by Anders Norlander.
+
+The MIPS assembler now accepts -march/-mtune. -mcpu has been deprecated
+but still works for compatability.
+
+The MIPS assembler no longer issues a warning by default when it
+generates a nop instruction from a macro. The new command line option
+-n will turn on the warning.
+
+Changes in 2.11:
+
+x86 gas now supports the full Pentium4 instruction set.
+
+Support for AMD x86-64 architecture, by Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs.
+
+Support for Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12.
+
+Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C54x (tic54x).
+
+Support for IA-64.
+
+Support for i860, by Jason Eckhardt.
+
+Support for CRIS (Axis Communications ETRAX series).
+
+x86 gas has a new .arch pseudo op to specify the target CPU architecture.
+
+x86 gas -q command line option quietens warnings about register size changes
+due to suffix, indirect jmp/call without `*', stand-alone prefixes, and
+translating various deprecated floating point instructions.
+
+Changes in 2.10:
+
+Support for the ARM msr instruction was changed to only allow an immediate
+operand when altering the flags field.
+
+Support for ATMEL AVR.
+
+Support for IBM 370 ELF. Somewhat experimental.
+
+Support for numbers with suffixes.
+
+Added support for breaking to the end of repeat loops.
+
+Added support for parallel instruction syntax (DOUBLEBAR_PARALLEL).
+
+New .elseif pseudo-op added.
+
+New --fatal-warnings option.
+
+picoJava architecture support added.
+
+Motorola MCore 210 processor support added.
+
+A new pseudo-op .intel_syntax has been implemented to allow gas to parse i386
+assembly programs with intel syntax.
+
+New pseudo-ops .func,.endfunc to aid in debugging user-written assembler code.
+
+Added -gdwarf2 option to generate DWARF 2 debugging information.
+
+Full 16-bit mode support for i386.
+
+Greatly improved instruction operand checking for i386. This change will
+produce errors or warnings on incorrect assembly code that previous versions of
+gas accepted. If you get unexpected messages from code that worked with older
+versions of gas, please double check the code before reporting a bug.
+
+Weak symbol support added for COFF targets.
+
+Mitsubishi D30V support added.
+
+Texas Instruments c80 (tms320c80) support added.
+
+i960 ELF support added.
+
+ARM ELF support added.
+
+Changes in 2.9:
+
+Texas Instruments c30 (tms320c30) support added.
+
+The assembler now optimizes the exception frame information generated by egcs
+and gcc 2.8. The new --traditional-format option disables this optimization.
+
+Added --gstabs option to generate stabs debugging information.
+
+The -a option takes a new suboption, m (e.g., -alm) to expand macros in a
+listing.
+
+Added -MD option to print dependencies.
+
Changes in 2.8:
+BeOS support added.
+
MIPS16 support added.
Motorola ColdFire 5200 support added (configure for m68k and use -m5200).
Alpha/VMS support added.
+m68k options --base-size-default-16, --base-size-default-32,
+--disp-size-default-16, and --disp-size-default-32 added.
+
+The alignment directives now take an optional third argument, which is the
+maximum number of bytes to skip. If doing the alignment would require skipping
+more than the given number of bytes, the alignment is not done at all.
+
+The ELF assembler has a new pseudo-op, .symver, used for symbol versioning.
+
+The -a option takes a new suboption, c (e.g., -alc), to skip false conditionals
+in listings.
+
+Added new pseudo-op, .equiv; it's like .equ, except that it is an error if the
+symbol is already defined.
+
Changes in 2.7:
The PowerPC assembler now allows the use of symbolic register names (r0, etc.)
(they'll understand both COFF and ELF), you must configure with
target=i386-unknown-sco3.2v5elf.
-m88k-motorola-sysv* support added.
+m88k-motorola-sysv3* support added.
