+Changes in 2.28:
+
+* Extended the --out-implib=<file> option, previously restricted to x86 PE
+  targets, to any ELF based target.  This allows the generation of an import
+  library for an ELF executable, which can then be used by another application
+  to link against the executable.
+
+Changes in 2.27:
+
+* Add a configure option --enable-relro to decide whether -z relro should
+  be enabled in ELF linker by default.  Default to yes for all Linux
+  targets except FRV, HPPA, IA64 and MIPS.
+
+* Support for -z noreloc-overflow in the x86-64 ELF linker to disable
+  relocation overflow check.
+
+* Add -z common/-z nocommon options for ELF targets to control whether to
+  convert common symbols to the STT_COMMON type during a relocatable link.
+
+* Support for -z nodynamic-undefined-weak in the x86 ELF linker, which
+  avoids dynamic relocations against undefined weak symbols in executable.
+
+* The NOCROSSREFSTO command was added to the linker script language.
+
+* Add --no-apply-dynamic-relocs to the AArch64 linker to do not apply link-time
+  values for dynamic relocations.
+
+Changes in 2.26:
+
+* Add --fix-stm32l4xx-629360 to the ARM linker to enable a link-time
+  workaround for a bug in the bus matrix / memory controller for some of
+  the STM32 Cortex-M4 based products (STM32L4xx)
+
+* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,ld} to
+  decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.
+
+* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.
+
+* Experimental support for linker garbage collection (--gc-sections)
+  has been enabled for COFF and PE based targets.
+
+* New command line option for ELF targets to compress DWARF debug
+  sections, --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi].
+
+* New command line option, --orphan-handling=[place|warn|error|discard], to
+  adjust how orphan sections are handled.  The default is 'place' which gives
+  the current behaviour, 'warn' and 'error' issue a warning or error
+  respectively when orphan sections are found, and 'discard' will discard all
+  orphan sections.
+
+* Add support for LLVM plugin.
+
+* Add --print-memory-usage option to report memory blocks usage.
+
+* Add --require-defined option, it's like --undefined except the new symbol
+  must be defined by the end of the link.
