+* New command line option -msse2avx for x86 target to encode SSE
+  instructions with VEX prefix.
 
+* Add Intel AES, CLMUL, AVX/FMA support for x86 target.
+
+* New command line options, -march=CPU[,+EXTENSION...], -mtune=CPU,
+  -mmnemonic=[att|intel], -msyntax=[att|intel], -mindex-reg,
+  -mnaked-reg and -mold-gcc, for x86 targets.
+
+* Support for generating wide character strings has been added via the new
+  pseudo ops: .string16, .string32 and .string64.
+
+* Support for SSE5 has been added to the i386 port.
+
+Changes in 2.18:
+
+* The GAS sources are now released under the GPLv3.
+
+* Support for the National Semiconductor CR16 target has been added.
+
+* Added gas .reloc pseudo.  This is a low-level interface for creating
+  relocations.
+
+* Add support for x86_64 PE+ target.
+
+* Add support for Score target.
+
+Changes in 2.17:
+
+* Support for the Infineon XC16X has been added by KPIT Cummins Infosystems.
+
+* Support for ms2 architecture has been added.
+
+* Support for the Z80 processor family has been added.
+
+* Add support for the "@<file>" syntax to the command line, so that extra
+  switches can be read from <file>.
+
+* The SH target supports a new command line switch --enable-reg-prefix which,
+  if enabled, will allow register names to be optionally prefixed with a $
+  character.  This allows register names to be distinguished from label names.
+  
 * Macros with a variable number of arguments are now supported. See the
   documentation for how this works.
