   3 Changes in 2.26:
   4
   5 * Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,gas} to
   6   decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.
   7
   8 * Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.  Remove
   9   assembler support for Argonaut RISC architectures.
  10
  11 Changes in 2.26:
  12
  13 * Symbol and label names can now be enclosed in double quotes (") which allows
  14   them to contain characters that are not part of valid symbol names in high
  15   level languages.
  16
  17 * Added the correctly spelled -march=armv6kz, for ARMv6KZ support.  The
  18   previous spelling, -march=armv6zk, is still accepted.
  19
  20 * Support for the ARMv8.1 architecture has been added to the Aarch64 port.
  21   Support for the individual ARMv8.1 Adv.SIMD, LOR and PAN architecture
  22   extensions has also been added to the Aarch64 port.
  23
  24 * Support for the ARMv8.1 architecture has been added to the ARM port.  Support
  25   for the individual ARMv8.1 Adv.SIMD and PAN architecture extensions has also
  26   been added to the ARM port.
  27
  28 * Extend --compress-debug-sections option to support
  29   --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi] for ELF
  30   targets.
  31
  32 * --compress-debug-sections is turned on for Linux/x86 by default.
  33
  34 Changes in 2.25:
  35
  36 * Add support for the AVR Tiny microcontrollers.
  37
  38 * Replace support for openrisc and or32 with support for or1k.
  39
  40 * Enhanced the ARM port to accept the assembler output from the CodeComposer
  41   Studio tool.  Support is enabled via the new command line option -mccs.
  42
  43 * Add support for the Andes NDS32.
  44
  45 Changes in 2.24:
  46
  47 * Add support for the Texas Instruments MSP430X processor.
  48
  49 * Add -gdwarf-sections command line option to enable per-code-section
  50   generation of DWARF .debug_line sections.
  51
  52 * Add support for Altera Nios II.
  53
  54 * Add support for the Imagination Technologies Meta processor.
  55
  56 * Add support for the v850e3v5.
  57
  58 * Remove assembler support for MIPS ECOFF targets.
  59
  60 Changes in 2.23:
  61
  62 * Add support for the 64-bit ARM architecture: AArch64.
  63
  64 * Add support for S12X processor.
  65
  66 * Add support for the VLE extension to the PowerPC architecture.
  67
  68 * Add support for the Freescale XGATE architecture.
  69
  70 * Add support for .bundle_align_mode, .bundle_lock, and .bundle_unlock
  71   directives.  These are currently available only for x86 and ARM targets.
  72
  73 * Add support for the Renesas RL78 architecture.
  74
  75 * Add support for the Adapteva EPIPHANY architecture.
  76
  77 * For x86, allow 'rep bsf', 'rep bsr', and 'rep ret' syntax.
  78
  79 Changes in 2.22:
  80
  81 * Add support for the Tilera TILEPro and TILE-Gx architectures.
  82
  83 Changes in 2.21:
  84
  85 * Gas no longer requires doubling of ampersands in macros.
  86
  87 * Add support for the TMS320C6000 (TI C6X) processor family.
  88
  89 * GAS now understands an extended syntax in the .section directive flags
  90   for COFF targets that allows the section's alignment to be specified.  This
  91   feature has also been backported to the 2.20 release series, starting with
  92   2.20.1.
  93
  94 * Add support for the Renesas RX processor.
  95
  96 * New command line option, --compress-debug-sections, which requests
  97   compression of DWARF debug information sections in the relocatable output
  98   file.  Compressed debug sections are supported by readelf, objdump, and
  99   gold, but not currently by Gnu ld.
 100
 101 Changes in 2.20:
 102
 103 * Added support for v850e2 and v850e2v3.
 104
 105 * GNU/Linux targets now supports "gnu_unique_object" as a value in the .type
 106   pseudo op.  It marks the symbol as being globally unique in the entire
 107   process.
 108
 109 * ARM assembler now supports .inst[.nw] pseudo-ops to insert opcodes specified
 110   in binary rather than text.
 111
 112 * Add support for common symbol alignment to PE formats.
 113
 114 * Add support for the new discriminator column in the DWARF line table,
 115   with a discriminator operand for the .loc directive.
 116
 117 * Add support for Sunplus score architecture.
 118
 119 * The .type pseudo-op now accepts a type of STT_GNU_IFUNC which can be used to
 120   indicate that if the symbol is the target of a relocation, its value should
 121   not be use.  Instead the function should be invoked and its result used as
 122   the value.
 123
 124 * Add support for Lattice Mico32 (lm32) architecture.
 125
 126 * Add support for Xilinx MicroBlaze architecture.
 127
 128 Changes in 2.19:
 129
 130 * New pseudo op .cfi_val_encoded_addr, to record constant addresses in unwind
 131   tables without runtime relocation.
 132
 133 * New command line option, -h-tick-hex, for sh, m32c, and h8/300 targets, which
 134   adds compatibility with H'00 style hex constants.
 135
 136 * New command line option, -msse-check=[none|error|warning], for x86
 137   targets.
 138
 139 * New sub-option added to the assembler's -a command line switch to
 140   generate a listing output.  The 'g' sub-option will insert into the listing
 141   various information about the assembly, such as assembler version, the
 142   command line options used, and a time stamp.
 143
 144 * New command line option -msse2avx for x86 target to encode SSE
 145   instructions with VEX prefix.
 146
 147 * Add Intel XSAVE, EPT, MOVBE, AES, PCLMUL, AVX/FMA support for x86 target.
 148
 149 * New command line options, -march=CPU[,+EXTENSION...], -mtune=CPU,
 150   -mmnemonic=[att|intel], -msyntax=[att|intel], -mindex-reg,
 151   -mnaked-reg and -mold-gcc, for x86 targets.
 152
 153 * Support for generating wide character strings has been added via the new
 154   pseudo ops: .string16, .string32 and .string64.
 155
 156 * Support for SSE5 has been added to the i386 port.
 157
 158 Changes in 2.18:
 159
 160 * The GAS sources are now released under the GPLv3.
 161
 162 * Support for the National Semiconductor CR16 target has been added.
 163
 164 * Added gas .reloc pseudo.  This is a low-level interface for creating
 165   relocations.
 166
 167 * Add support for x86_64 PE+ target.
 168
 169 * Add support for Score target.
 170
 171 Changes in 2.17:
 172
 173 * Support for the Infineon XC16X has been added by KPIT Cummins Infosystems.
 174
 175 * Support for ms2 architecture has been added.
 176
 177 * Support for the Z80 processor family has been added.
 178
 179 * Add support for the "@<file>" syntax to the command line, so that extra
 180   switches can be read from <file>.
 181
 182 * The SH target supports a new command line switch --enable-reg-prefix which,
 183   if enabled, will allow register names to be optionally prefixed with a $
 184   character.  This allows register names to be distinguished from label names.
 185
 186 * Macros with a variable number of arguments are now supported. See the
 187   documentation for how this works.
 188
 189 * Added --reduce-memory-overheads switch to reduce the size of the hash
 190   tables used, at the expense of longer assembly times, and
 191   --hash-size=<NUMBER> to set the size of the hash tables used by gas.
 192
 193 * Macro names and macro parameter names can now be any identifier that would
 194   also be legal as a symbol elsewhere. For macro parameter names, this is
 195   known to cause problems in certain sources when the respective target uses
 196   characters inconsistently, and thus macro parameter references may no longer
 197   be recognized as such (see the documentation for details).
 198
 199 * Support the .f_floating, .d_floating, .g_floating and .h_floating directives
 200   for the VAX target in order to be more compatible with the VAX MACRO
 201   assembler.
 202
 203 * New command line option -mtune=[itanium1|itanium2] for IA64 targets.
 204
 205 Changes in 2.16:
 206
 207 * Redefinition of macros now results in an error.
 208
 209 * New command line option -mhint.b=[ok|warning|error] for IA64 targets.
 210
 211 * New command line option -munwind-check=[warning|error] for IA64
 212   targets.
 213
 214 * The IA64 port now uses automatic dependency violation removal as its default
 215   mode.
 216
 217 * Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
 218
 219 * Added support for generating unwind tables for ARM ELF targets.
 220
 221 * Add a -g command line option to generate debug information in the target's
 222   preferred debug format.
 223
 224 * Support for the crx-elf target added.
 225
 226 * Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
 227
 228 * Added a pseudo-op (.secrel32) to generate 32 bit section relative relocations
 229   on pe[i]-i386; required for this target's DWARF 2 support.
 230
 231 * Support for Motorola MCF521x/5249/547x/548x added.
 232
 233 * Support for ColdFire EMAC instructions added and Motorola syntax for MAC/EMAC
 234   instrucitons.
 235
 236 * New command line option -mno-shared for MIPS ELF targets.
 237
 238 * New command line option --alternate and pseudo-ops .altmacro and .noaltmacro
 239   added to enter (and leave) alternate macro syntax mode.
 240
 241 Changes in 2.15:
 242
 243 * The MIPS -membedded-pic option (Embedded-PIC code generation) is
 244   deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
 245
 246 * Added PIC m32r Linux (ELF) and support to M32R assembler.
 247
 248 * Added support for ARM V6.
 249
 250 * Added support for sh4a and variants.
 251
 252 * Support for Renesas M32R2 added.
 253
 254 * Limited support for Mapping Symbols as specified in the ARM ELF
 255   specification has been added to the arm assembler.
 256
 257 * On ARM architectures, added a new gas directive ".unreq" that undoes
 258   definitions created by ".req".
 259
 260 * Support for Motorola ColdFire MCF528x added.
 261
 262 * Added --gstabs+ switch to enable the generation of STABS debug format
 263   information with GNU extensions.
 264
 265 * Added support for MIPS64 Release 2.
 266
 267 * Added support for v850e1.
 268
 269 * Added -n switch for x86 assembler.  By default, x86 GAS replaces
 270   multiple nop instructions used for alignment within code sections
 271   with multi-byte nop instructions such as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi.  This
 272   switch disables the optimization.
 273
 274 * Removed -n option from MIPS assembler.  It was not useful, and confused the
 275   existing -non_shared option.
 276
 277 Changes in 2.14:
 278
 279 * Added support for MIPS32 Release 2.
 280
 281 * Added support for Xtensa architecture.
 282
 283 * Support for Intel's iWMMXt processor (an ARM variant) added.
 284
 285 * An assembler test generator has been contributed and an example file that
 286   uses it (gas/testsuite/gas/all/test-gen.c and test-exmaple.c).
 287
 288 * Support for SH2E added.
 289
 290 * GASP has now been removed.
 291
 292 * Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
 293   DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
 294
 295 * Support for the Ubicom IP2xxx microcontroller added.
 296
 297 Changes in 2.13:
 298
 299 * Support for the Fujitsu FRV architecture added by Red Hat. Models for FR400
 300   and FR500 included.
 301
 302 * Support for DLX processor added.
 303
 304 * GASP has now been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  Use
 305   the macro facilities in GAS instead.
 306
 307 * GASP now correctly parses floating point numbers. Unless the base is
 308   explicitly specified, they are interpreted as decimal numbers regardless of
 309   the currently specified base.
 310
 311 Changes in 2.12:
 312
 313 * Support for Don Knuth's MMIX, by Hans-Peter Nilsson.
 314
 315 * Support for the OpenRISC 32-bit embedded processor by OpenCores.
 316
 317 * The ARM assembler now accepts -march=..., -mcpu=... and -mfpu=... for
 318   specifying the target instruction set.  The old method of specifying the
 319   target processor has been deprecated, but is still accepted for
 320   compatibility.
 321
 322 * Support for the VFP floating-point instruction set has been added to
 323   the ARM assembler.
 324
 325 * New psuedo op: .incbin to include a set of binary data at a given point
 326   in the assembly.  Contributed by Anders Norlander.
 327
 328 * The MIPS assembler now accepts -march/-mtune. -mcpu has been deprecated
 329   but still works for compatability.
 330
 331 * The MIPS assembler no longer issues a warning by default when it
 332   generates a nop instruction from a macro. The new command line option
 333   -n will turn on the warning.
 334
 335 Changes in 2.11:
 336
 337 * Support for PDP-11 and 2.11BSD a.out format, by Lars Brinkhoff.
 338
 339 * x86 gas now supports the full Pentium4 instruction set.
 340
 341 * Support for AMD x86-64 architecture, by Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs.
 342
 343 * Support for Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12.
 344
 345 * Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C54x (tic54x).
 346
 347 * Support for IA-64.
 348
 349 * Support for i860, by Jason Eckhardt.
 350
 351 * Support for CRIS (Axis Communications ETRAX series).
 352
 353 * x86 gas has a new .arch pseudo op to specify the target CPU architecture.
 354
 355 * x86 gas -q command line option quietens warnings about register size changes
 356   due to suffix, indirect jmp/call without `*', stand-alone prefixes, and
 357   translating various deprecated floating point instructions.
 358
 359 Changes in 2.10:
 360
 361 * Support for the ARM msr instruction was changed to only allow an immediate
 362   operand when altering the flags field.
 363
 364 * Support for ATMEL AVR.
 365
 366 * Support for IBM 370 ELF.  Somewhat experimental.
 367
 368 * Support for numbers with suffixes.
 369
 370 * Added support for breaking to the end of repeat loops.
 371
 372 * Added support for parallel instruction syntax (DOUBLEBAR_PARALLEL).
 373
 374 * New .elseif pseudo-op added.
 375
 376 * New --fatal-warnings option.
 377
 378 * picoJava architecture support added.
 379
 380 * Motorola MCore 210 processor support added.
 381
 382 * A new pseudo-op .intel_syntax has been implemented to allow gas to parse i386
 383   assembly programs with intel syntax.
 384
 385 * New pseudo-ops .func,.endfunc to aid in debugging user-written assembler code.
 386
 387 * Added -gdwarf2 option to generate DWARF 2 debugging information.
 388
 389 * Full 16-bit mode support for i386.
 390
 391 * Greatly improved instruction operand checking for i386.  This change will
 392   produce errors or warnings on incorrect assembly code that previous versions
 393   of gas accepted.  If you get unexpected messages from code that worked with
 394   older versions of gas, please double check the code before reporting a bug.
 395
 396 * Weak symbol support added for COFF targets.
 397
 398 * Mitsubishi D30V support added.
 399
 400 * Texas Instruments c80 (tms320c80) support added.
 401
 402 * i960 ELF support added.
 403
 404 * ARM ELF support added.
 405
 406 Changes in 2.9:
 407
 408 * Texas Instruments c30 (tms320c30) support added.
 409
 410 * The assembler now optimizes the exception frame information generated by egcs
 411   and gcc 2.8.  The new --traditional-format option disables this optimization.
 412
 413 * Added --gstabs option to generate stabs debugging information.
 414
 415 * The -a option takes a new suboption, m (e.g., -alm) to expand macros in a
 416   listing.
 417
 418 * Added -MD option to print dependencies.
 419
 420 Changes in 2.8:
 421
 422 * BeOS support added.
 423
 424 * MIPS16 support added.
 425
 426 * Motorola ColdFire 5200 support added (configure for m68k and use -m5200).
 427
 428 * Alpha/VMS support added.
 429
 430 * m68k options --base-size-default-16, --base-size-default-32,
 431   --disp-size-default-16, and --disp-size-default-32 added.
 432
 433 * The alignment directives now take an optional third argument, which is the
 434   maximum number of bytes to skip.  If doing the alignment would require
 435   skipping more than the given number of bytes, the alignment is not done at
 436   all.
 437
 438 * The ELF assembler has a new pseudo-op, .symver, used for symbol versioning.
 439
 440 * The -a option takes a new suboption, c (e.g., -alc), to skip false
 441   conditionals in listings.
 442
 443 * Added new pseudo-op, .equiv; it's like .equ, except that it is an error if
 444   the symbol is already defined.
 445
 446 Changes in 2.7:
 447
 448 * The PowerPC assembler now allows the use of symbolic register names (r0,
 449   etc.) if -mregnames is used.  Symbolic names preceded by a '%' (%r0, etc.)
 450   can be used any time.  PowerPC 860 move to/from SPR instructions have been
 451   added.
 452
 453 * Alpha Linux (ELF) support added.
 454
 455 * PowerPC ELF support added.
 456
 457 * m68k Linux (ELF) support added.
 458
 459 * i960 Hx/Jx support added.
 460
 461 * i386/PowerPC gnu-win32 support added.
 462
 463 * SCO ELF support added.  For OpenServer 5 targets (i386-unknown-sco3.2v5) the
 464   default is to build COFF-only support.  To get a set of tools that generate
 465   ELF (they'll understand both COFF and ELF), you must configure with
 466   target=i386-unknown-sco3.2v5elf.
 467
 468 * m88k-motorola-sysv3* support added.
 469
 470 Changes in 2.6:
 471
 472 * Gas now directly supports macros, without requiring GASP.
 473
 474 * Gas now has an MRI assembler compatibility mode.  Use -M or --mri to select
 475   MRI mode.  The pseudo-op ``.mri 1'' will switch into the MRI mode until the
 476   ``.mri 0'' is seen; this can be convenient for inline assembler code.
 477
 478 * Added --defsym SYM=VALUE option.
 479
 480 * Added -mips4 support to MIPS assembler.
 481
 482 * Added PIC support to Solaris and SPARC SunOS 4 assembler.
 483
 484 Changes in 2.4:
 485
 486 * Converted this directory to use an autoconf-generated configure script.
 487
 488 * ARM support, from Richard Earnshaw.
 489
 490 * Updated VMS support, from Pat Rankin, including considerably improved
 491   debugging support.
 492
 493 * Support for the control registers in the 68060.
 494
 495 * Handles (ignores) a new directive ".this_GCC_requires_the_GNU_assembler", to
 496   provide for possible future gcc changes, for targets where gas provides some
 497   features not available in the native assembler.  If the native assembler is
 498   used, it should become obvious pretty quickly what the problem is.
 499
 500 * Usage message is available with "--help".
 501
 502 * The GNU Assembler Preprocessor (gasp) is included.  (Actually, it was in 2.3
 503   also, but didn't get into the NEWS file.)
 504
 505 * Weak symbol support for a.out.
 506
 507 * A bug in the listing code which could cause an infinite loop has been fixed.
 508   Bugs in listings when generating a COFF object file have also been fixed.
 509
 510 * Initial i386-svr4 PIC implementation from Eric Youngdale, based on code by
 511   Paul Kranenburg.
 512
 513 * Improved Alpha support.  Immediate constants can have a much larger range
 514   now. Support for the 21164 has been contributed by Digital.
 515
 516 * Updated ns32k (pc532-mach, netbsd532) support from Ian Dall.
 517
 518 Changes in 2.3:
 519
 520 * Mach i386 support, by David Mackenzie and Ken Raeburn.
 521
 522 * RS/6000 and PowerPC support by Ian Taylor.
 523
 524 * VMS command scripts (make-gas.com, config-gas.com) have been worked on a bit,
 525   based on mail received from various people.  The `-h#' option should work
 526   again too.
 527
 528 * HP-PA work, by Jeff Law.  Note, for the PA, gas-2.3 has been designed to work
 529   with gdb-4.12 and gcc-2.6.  As gcc-2.6 has not been released yet, a special
 530   version of gcc-2.5.8 has been patched to work with gas-2.3.  You can retrieve
 531   this special version of gcc-2.5.8 via anonymous ftp from jaguar.cs.utah.edu
 532   in the "dist" directory.
 533
 534 * Vax support in gas fixed for BSD, so it builds and seems to run a couple
 535   simple tests okay.  I haven't put it through extensive testing.  (GNU make is
 536   currently required for BSD 4.3 builds.)
 537
 538 * Support for the DEC Alpha, running OSF/1 (ECOFF format).  The gas support is
 539   based on code donated by CMU, which used an a.out-based format.  I'm afraid
 540   the alpha-a.out support is pretty badly mangled, and much of it removed;
 541   making it work will require rewriting it as BFD support for the format anyways.
 542
 543 * Irix 5 support.
 544
 545 * The test suites have been fixed up a bit, so that they should work with a
 546   couple different versions of expect and dejagnu.
 547
 548 * Symbols' values are now handled internally as expressions, permitting more
 549   flexibility in evaluating them in some cases.  Some details of relocation
 550   handling have also changed, and simple constant pool management has been
 551   added, to make the Alpha port easier.
 552
 553 * New option "--statistics" for printing out program run times.  This is
 554   intended to be used with the gcc "-Q" option, which prints out times spent in
 555   various phases of compilation.  (You should be able to get all of them
 556   printed out with "gcc -Q -Wa,--statistics", I think.)
 557
 558 Changes in 2.2:
 559
 560 * RS/6000 AIX and MIPS SGI Irix 5 support has been added.
 561
 562 * Configurations that are still in development (and therefore are convenient to
 563   have listed in configure.in) still get rejected without a minor change to
 564   gas/Makefile.in, so people not doing development work shouldn't get the
 565   impression that support for such configurations is actually believed to be
 566   reliable.
 567
 568 * The program name (usually "as") is printed when a fatal error message is
 569   displayed.  This should prevent some confusion about the source of occasional
 570   messages about "internal errors".
 571
 572 * ELF support is falling into place.  Support for the 386 should be working.
 573   Support for SPARC Solaris is in.  HPPA support from Utah is being integrated.
 574
 575 * Symbol values are maintained as expressions instead of being immediately
 576   boiled down to add-symbol, sub-symbol, and constant.  This permits slightly
 577   more complex calculations involving symbols whose values are not alreadey
 578   known.
 579
 580 * DBX-style debugging info ("stabs") is now supported for COFF formats.
 581   If any stabs directives are seen in the source, GAS will create two new
 582   sections: a ".stab" and a ".stabstr" section.  The format of the .stab
 583   section is nearly identical to the a.out symbol format, and .stabstr is
 584   its string table.  For this to be useful, you must have configured GCC
 585   to generate stabs (by defining DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO), and must have a GDB
 586   that can use the stab sections (4.11 or later).
 587
 588 * LynxOS, on i386 and m68k platforms, is now supported.  SPARC LynxOS
 589   support is in progress.
 590
 591 Changes in 2.1:
 592
 593 * Several small fixes for i386-aix (PS/2) support from Minh Tran-Le have been
 594   incorporated, but not well tested yet.
 595
 596 * Altered the opcode table split for m68k; it should require less VM to compile
 597   with gcc now.
 598
 599 * Some minor adjustments to add (Convergent Technologies') Miniframe support,
 600   suggested by Ronald Cole.
 601
 602 * HPPA support (running OSF only, not HPUX) has been contributed by Utah.  This
 603   includes improved ELF support, which I've started adapting for SPARC Solaris
 604   2.x.  Integration isn't completely, so it probably won't work.
 605
 606 * HP9000/300 support, donated by HP, has been merged in.
 607
 608 * Ian Taylor has finished the MIPS ECOFF (Ultrix, Irix) support.
 609
 610 * Better error messages for unsupported configurations (e.g., hppa-hpux).
 611
 612 * Test suite framework is starting to become reasonable.
 613
 614 Changes in 2.0:
 615
 616 * Mostly bug fixes.
 617
 618 * Some more merging of BFD and ELF code, but ELF still doesn't work.
 619
 620 Changes in 1.94:
 621
 622 * BFD merge is partly done.  Adventurous souls may try giving configure the
 623   "--with-bfd-assembler" option.  Currently, ELF format requires it, a.out
 624   format accepts it; SPARC CPU accepts it.  It's the default only for OS "elf"
 625   or "solaris".  (ELF isn't really supported yet.  It needs work.  I've got
 626   some code from Utah for HP-PA ELF, and from DG for m88k ELF, but they're not
 627   fully merged yet.)
 628
 629 * The 68K opcode table has been split in half.  It should now compile under gcc
 630   without consuming ridiculous amounts of memory.
 631
 632 * A couple data structures have been reduced in size.  This should result in
 633   saving a little bit of space at runtime.
 634
 635 * Support for MIPS, from OSF and Ralph Campbell, has been merged in.  The OSF
 636   code provided ROSE format support, which I haven't merged in yet.  (I can
 637   make it available, if anyone wants to try it out.)  Ralph's code, for BSD
 638   4.4, supports a.out format.  We don't have ECOFF support in just yet; it's
 639   coming.
 640
 641 * Support for the Hitachi H8/500 has been added.
 642
 643 * VMS host and target support should be working now, thanks chiefly to Eric
 644   Youngdale.
 645
 646 Changes in 1.93.01:
 647
 648 * For m68k, support for more processors has been added: 68040, CPU32, 68851.
 649
 650 * For i386, .align is now power-of-two; was number-of-bytes.
 651
 652 * For m68k, "%" is now accepted before register names.  For COFF format, which
 653   doesn't use underscore prefixes for C labels, it is required, so variable "a0"
 654   can be distinguished from the register.
 655
 656 * Last public release was 1.38.  Lots of configuration changes since then, lots
 657   of new CPUs and formats, lots of bugs fixed.
