+* Turn off underscoring for x86_64 PE+-COFF targets.  For old behavior the
+  option --enable-leading-mingw64-underscores can be used on configure of
+  bfd.
+
+* Add support for the TMS320C6000 (TI C6X) processor family.
+
+* --add-needed renamed to --copy-dt-needed-entries in order to avoid confusion
+  with --as-needed option.
+
+* Extend .def file syntax by '== <ID>' for imports and exports. This allows
+  to alias the import/export table name written in PE image.
+
+* Add --exlcude-all-symbols option to PE based linkers.  This prevents all
+  symbols from automatically being exported.

+* Add support for the Renesas RX processor.

+Changes in 2.20:
+
+* GNU/Linux targets now support the STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol binding.  This is a
+  GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol bindings.  The binding will
+  be passed on to the dynamic linker which will make sure that in the entire
+  process there is just one symbol with the given name and type in use.
+
+* PE targets now support a GNU extension to allow the alignment of common
+  common symbols to be specified.  This support uses custom options in
+  the .drectve section, which will be disregarded by the native tools.
+
+* PE targets now add primitive support for ELF version scripts; symbols
+  are not versioned, but the local and global symbol visibility directives
+  are respected when filtering symbols in auto-export mode.
+
 * New option --no-export-dynamic to undo the effect of the -E and
   --export-dynamic options.

   needs to be able to find the debug info sections by their full names.
 
+* For GNU/Linux systems the linker will now avoid processing any relocations
+  made against symbols of the STT_GNU_IFUNC type and instead emit them into

 * --as-needed now links in a dynamic library if it satisfies undefined

   latter case the library is not linked if it is found in a DT_NEEDED
