+* Add support for Intel AVX VNNI instructions.
+
+* Add support for Intel HRESET instruction.
+
+* Add support for Intel UINTR instructions.
+
+* Support non-absolute segment values for i386 lcall and ljmp.
+
+* When setting the link order attribute of ELF sections, it is now possible to
+  use a numeric section index instead of symbol name.
+
+* Add support for Cortex-A78, Cortex-A78AE and Cortex-X1 for AArch64 and ARM.
+  Add support for Cortex-R82, Neoverse V1, and Neoverse N2 for ARM.
+
+* Add support for ETMv4 (Embedded Trace Macrocell), ETE (Embedded Trace
+  Extension), TRBE (Trace Buffer Extension), CSRE (Call Stack Recorder
+  Extension) and BRBE (Branch Record Buffer Extension) system registers for
+  AArch64.
+
+* Add support for Armv8-R and Armv8.7-A AArch64.
+
+* Add support for DSB memory nXS barrier instruction for Armv8.7 AArch64.
+
+* Add support for Intel TDX instructions.
+
+* Add support for Intel Key Locker instructions.
+
+* Added a .nop directive to generate a single no-op instruction in a target
+  neutral manner.  This instruction does have an effect on DWARF line number
+  generation, if that is active.
+
+* Removed --reduce-memory-overheads and --hash-size as gas now
+  uses hash tables that can be expand and shrink automatically.
+
+* Add {disp16} pseudo prefix to x86 assembler.
+
+* Add support for Intel AMX instructions.
+
+* Configure with --enable-x86-used-note by default for Linux/x86.
+
+Changes in 2.35:
+
+* X86 NaCl target support is removed.
+
+* Extend .symver directive to update visibility of the original symbol
+  and assign one original symbol to different versioned symbols.
+
+* Add support for Intel SERIALIZE and TSXLDTRK instructions.
+
+* Add -mlfence-after-load=, -mlfence-before-indirect-branch= and
+  -mlfence-before-ret= options to x86 assembler to help mitigate
+  CVE-2020-0551.
+
+* Add --gdwarf-5 option to the assembler to generate DWARF 5 debug output
+  (if such output is being generated).  Added the ability to generate
+  version 5 .debug_line sections.
+
+* Add -mbig-obj support to i386 MingW targets.
+
 Changes in 2.34:
 
 * Add -malign-branch-boundary=NUM, -malign-branch=TYPE[+TYPE...],
