+* The MIPS port now supports the Sony Interactive Entertainment Allegrex
+ processor, used with the PlayStation Portable, which implements the MIPS
+ II ISA along with a single-precision FPU and a few implementation-specific
+ integer instructions.
+
+* Objdump's --private option can now be used on PE format files to display the
+ fields in the file header and section headers.
+
+* New versioned release of libsframe: libsframe.so.1. This release introduces
+ versioned symbols with version node name LIBSFRAME_1.0. This release also
+ updates the ABI in an incompatible way: this includes removal of
+ sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr API, change in the behavior of
+ sframe_fre_get_ra_offset and sframe_fre_get_fp_offset APIs.
+
+* SFrame Version 2 is now the default (and only) format version supported by
+ gas, ld, readelf and objdump.
+
+* Add command-line option, --strip-section-headers, to objcopy and strip to
+ remove ELF section header from ELF file.
+
+* The RISC-V port now supports the following new standard extensions:
+ - Zicond (conditional zero instructions)
+ - Zfa (additional floating-point instructions)
+
+* The RISC-V port now supports the following vendor-defined extensions:
+ - XVentanaCondOps
+
+Changes in 2.40:
+
+* Objdump has a new command line option --show-all-symbols which will make it
+ display all symbols that match a given address when disassembling. (Normally
+ only the first symbol that matches an address is shown).
+
+* Add --enable-colored-disassembly configure time option to enable colored
+ disassembly output by default, if the output device is a terminal. Note,
+ this configure option is disabled by default.
+
+* DCO signed contributions are now accepted.
+
+* objcopy --decompress-debug-sections now supports zstd compressed debug
+ sections. The new option --compress-debug-sections=zstd compresses debug
+ sections with zstd.
+
+* addr2line and objdump --dwarf now support zstd compressed debug sections.
+
+* The dlltool program now accepts --deterministic-libraries and
+ --non-deterministic-libraries as command line options to control whether or
+ not it generates deterministic output libraries. If neither of these options
+ are used the default is whatever was set when the binutils were configured.
+
+* readelf and objdump now have a newly added option --sframe which dumps the
+ SFrame section.
+
+Changes in 2.39:
+
+* Add --no-weak/-W option to nm to make it ignore weak symbols.
+
+* Add an option to objdump and readelf to prevent attempts to access debuginfod
+ servers when following links.
+
+* objcopy --weaken, --weaken-symbol, and --weaken-symbols now make ELF
+ STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbols weak.
+
+* objdump now supports syntax highlighting of disassembler output for some
+ architectures. Use the --disassembler-color=MODE command line flag, with
+ mode being either off, color, or extended-color.
+
+Changes in 2.38:
+
* elfedit: Add --output-abiversion option to update ABIVERSION.
* Add support for the LoongArch instruction set.
* Support for efi-app-aarch64, efi-rtdrv-aarch64 and efi-bsdrv-aarch64 has been
added to objcopy in order to enable UEFI development using binutils.
+* ar: Add --thin for creating thin archives. -T is a deprecated alias without
+ diagnostics. In many ar implementations -T has a different meaning, as
+ specified by X/Open System Interface.
+
Changes in 2.37:
* The readelf tool has a new command line option which can be used to specify
and/or local symbols only. They now also support long options.
