+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 Motorolla MCore 210 processor added.
+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.
 
-A new pseudo-op .intel_syntax has been implemented to allow gas to parse i386 assembly
-programs with intel syntax.
+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
