+* Replace support for openrisc and or32 with support for or1k.
+
+* Add support for the --build-id command line option to COFF based targets.
+
+* x86/x86_64 pe-coff now supports the --build-id option.
+
+* Add support for the Andes NDS32.
+
+Changes in 2.24:
+
+* Add LOG2CEIL() builtin function to the linker script language
+
+* Add support for the Texas Instruments MSP430X processor.
+
+* Add support for Altera Nios II.
+
+* Add support for the V850E3V5 architecture.
+
+* Add support for the Imagination Technologies Meta processor.
+
+* --enable-new-dtags no longer generates old dtags in addition to new dtags.
+
+* Remove linker support for MIPS ECOFF targets.
+
+* Add ALIGN_WITH_INPUT to the linker script language to force the alignment of
+  an output section to use the maximum alignment of all its input sections.
+
+Changes in 2.23:
+
+* Enable compressed debug section feature for x86/x86_64 pe-coff.
+
+* Add support for the 64-bit ARM architecture: AArch64.
+
+* Added SORT_NONE to the linker script language to disable section sorting.
+
+* Add a linker-provided symbol when producing ELF output, '__ehdr_start'
+  to point to the ELF file header (and nearby program headers) in the
+  program's memory image.
+
+* Add support for S12X processor.
+
+* Add support for the VLE extension to the PowerPC architecture.
+
+* Add support for the Freescale XGATE architecture.
+
+* Add option -f FILE on AIX (for response file).
+
+* Add support for the Renesas RL78 architecture.
+
+* Add support for the Adapteva EPIPHANY architecture.
+
+Changes in 2.22:
+
+* --copy-dt-needed-entries is no longer enabled by default.  Instead
+  --no-copy-dt-needed-entries is the default.
+
+* INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS has been added to the linker script language
+  to allow selection of input sections by section header section flags.
+
+* Add support for the Tilera TILEPro and TILE-Gx architectures.
+
+* Added SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY to the linker script language to permit
+  sorting sections by numerical value of the GCC init_priority attribute
+  encoded in the section name.
+
+Changes in 2.21:
+
+* Linker script expression evaluation is somewhat more sane.  This may
+  break scripts that depend on quirks of the old expression evaluation.
+
+* 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 --exclude-all-symbols option to PE based linkers.  This prevents all
+  symbols from automatically being exported.
+
+* Add support for the Renesas RX processor.
+
+* Add support for alpha-vms target.
+
+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.
