+Support for DLX processor added.
+
+GASP has now been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  Use the
+macro facilities in GAS instead.
+
+GASP now correctly parses floating point numbers. Unless the base is explicitly
+specified, they are interpreted as decimal numbers regardless of the currently
+specified base.
+
+Changes in 2.12:
+
+Support for Don Knuth's MMIX, by Hans-Peter Nilsson.
+
+Support for the OpenRISC 32-bit embedded processor by OpenCores.
+
+The ARM assembler now accepts -march=..., -mcpu=... and -mfpu=... for
+specifying the target instruction set.  The old method of specifying the
+target processor has been deprecated, but is still accepted for
+compatibility.
+
+Support for the VFP floating-point instruction set has been added to
+the ARM assembler.
+
+New psuedo op: .incbin to include a set of binary data at a given point
+in the assembly.  Contributed by Anders Norlander.
+
+The MIPS assembler now accepts -march/-mtune. -mcpu has been deprecated
+but still works for compatability.
+
+The MIPS assembler no longer issues a warning by default when it
+generates a nop instruction from a macro. The new command line option
+-n will turn on the warning.
 
 Changes in 2.11:
 
+x86 gas now supports the full Pentium4 instruction set.
+
+Support for AMD x86-64 architecture, by Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs.
+
 Support for Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12.
 
 Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C54x (tic54x).
