+* A new linker command line switch has been added which allows the hash table
+  size to be set to a suitable prime value near to its argument.  This switch
+  is --hash-size=<NUMBER>.  Also if the switch --reduce-memory-overheads is
+  used, and --hash-size has not been used, then the default value will be set
+  to 1021.
+
+* Linker map files are now generated with an O(N) algorithm for finding symbols
+  that are defined in each section.  This uses about 40% more memory for
+  symbols than the old O(N^2) algorithm.  You can use the new
+  --reduce-memory-overheads option to select the old algorithm; this option
+  might also be used in the future to select similar tradeoffs.
+
+Changes in 2.15:
+  
+* New PE --large-address-aware option to indicate executables support virtual
+  addresses greater than 2 gigabytes.
+
+* DWARF 2 support for i386pe added.
+
+* The linker script operator DEFINED() will now yield 1 only for a symbol that
+  is defined before the statement where DEFINED is used.
+
+* The MIPS --embedded-relocs (used to embed relocations into binaries for
+  Embedded-PIC code) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+
 * cr16c support added by NSC.
 
 * m32r Linux (ELF) support added by Renesas.
