+* Support for the Infineon XC16X has been added by KPIT Cummins Infosystems.
+
+* Modify the Linux linker search order to better match ld.so search order.
+  Look for DT_NEEDED libraries in paths specified by ld.so.conf before
+  searching the default directories, rather than vice versa.
+  Use $prefix/etc/ld.so.conf if it exists, otherwise /etc/ld.so.conf.
+
+* PE-COFF: Forward exports from DLL's can now be specified in .def files
+  passed directly to ld.
+
+* 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>.

+* Support for the R_ARM_V4BX relocation as defined in the ARM AAELF
+  specification has been added via the --fix-v4bx command-line option.

+* New linker script construct AS_NEEDED(), which sets the --as-needed flag
+  for input files listed inside of it.
+
+* A new command-line option, --sysroot, can be used to override the
+  default sysroot location.  It only applies to toolchains that were
+  configured using --with-sysroot.
+
+* New linker script functions: ORIGIN() and LENGTH() which return information
+  about a specified memory region.
+
+* Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
+
+* Added SEGMENT_START to the linker script language to permit the user to
+  override the base address for a segment from the command-line.

+* ELF: --warn-shared-textrel option to warn if adding a DT_TEXTREL to a shared
+  object.

 * Added SORT_BY_NAME and SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT to the linker script
   language to permit sorting sections by section name or section
   maximum alignment.
