+* 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.
+
+* New command line option -mrelax-relocations= for x86 target to control
+  whether to generate relax relocations.
+
+* New command line option -mfence-as-lock-add=yes for x86 target to encode
+  lfence, mfence and sfence as "lock addl $0x0, (%[re]sp)".
+
+* Add assembly-time relaxation option for ARC cpus.
 
 Changes in 2.26:
 
+* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,gas} to
+  decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.
+
+* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.  Remove
+  assembler support for Argonaut RISC architectures.
+
+* Symbol and label names can now be enclosed in double quotes (") which allows
+  them to contain characters that are not part of valid symbol names in high
+  level languages.
+
+* Added the correctly spelled -march=armv6kz, for ARMv6KZ support.  The
+  previous spelling, -march=armv6zk, is still accepted.
+
 * Support for the ARMv8.1 architecture has been added to the Aarch64 port.
   Support for the individual ARMv8.1 Adv.SIMD, LOR and PAN architecture
   extensions has also been added to the Aarch64 port.
