+* Add a new command line option, --insn-width=WIDTH, to objdump to specify
+number of bytes to be displayed on a single line when disassembling
+instructions.
+
+* Readelf can now display the relocated contents of a section as a sequence
+  of bytes via the --relocated-dump=<name|number> command line option.
+
+* The gprof program has been given a new command line option:
+  --external-symbols-table=<filename> which reads in symbols from a specified
+  file.
+
+* The plugin target has been added to bfd. It can load the same shared objects
+  used by gold and uses them to provide basic support for new file formats.
+
+* The verilog memory hex dump file format is now supported as an output format
+  for objcopy.
+
+* Add --file-alignment, --heap, --image-base, --section-alignment,
+  --stack and --subsystem command line options to objcopy, which will
+  set PE optional header.
+
+* Option --dwarf/-W of objdump is now as flexible as readelf --debug-dump/-w.
 
 * --as-needed now links in a dynamic library if it satisfies undefined
   symbols in regular objects, or in other dynamic libraries.  In the
   latter case the library is not linked if it is found in a DT_NEEDED
   entry of one of the libraries already linked.
 
+* Added --prefix=PREFIX and --prefix-strip=LEVEL switches to objdump to
+  add absolute paths for -S.
+
 * Add new option --use-nul-prefixed-import-tables to dlltool to allow fall-
   back to old import table generation with null element prefix.
