+GASP has now been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the
+macro facilities in GAS instead.
+
+GASP now correctly parses floating point numbers. Unless the base is explicitly
+specified, they are interpreted as decimal numbers regardless of the currently
+specified base.
+
+Changes in 2.12:
+
+Support for Don Knuth's MMIX, by Hans-Peter Nilsson.
+
+Support for the OpenRISC 32-bit embedded processor by OpenCores.
+
+The ARM assembler now accepts -march=..., -mcpu=... and -mfpu=... for
+specifying the target instruction set. The old method of specifying the
+target processor has been deprecated, but is still accepted for
+compatibility.
+
+Support for the VFP floating-point instruction set has been added to
+the ARM assembler.
+
+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
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 Instruction c30 (tms320c30) support added.
+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.
