+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD 0.4.0 source archive release.  See the repository
+history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
+and other issues not mentioned here.
 
 JTAG Layer:
-    FT2232H (high speed USB) support doesn't need separate configuration
+	Support KT-Link JTAG adapter.
+	Support USB-JTAG, Altera USB-Blaster and compatibles.
+
+Boundary Scan:
 
 Target Layer:
-    New commands for use with Cortex-M3 processors:
-	"cortex_m3 disassemble" ... Thumb2 disassembly (UAL format)
-	"cortex_m3 vector_catch" ... traps certain hardware faults
-		without tying up breakpoint resources
-    If you're willing to help debug it:  VERY EARLY Cortex-A8 support
-    New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table" 
+	General
+		- new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
+	ARM
+		- supports "reset-assert" event (except on Cortex-M3)
+		- renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
+		- recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
+		- "arm regs" command output changed
+		- register names use "sp" not "r13"
+		- add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
+		  various core-specific operations
+		- basic semihosting support (ARM7/ARM9 only, for now)
+	ARM11
+		- Should act much more like other ARM cores:
+		   * Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
+		   * accelerated "flash erase_check"
+		   * accelerated GDB memory checksum
+		   * support "arm regs" command
+		   * can access all core modes and registers
+		   * watchpoint support
+		- Shares some core debug code with Cortex-A8
+	Cortex-A8
+		- Should act much more like other ARM cores:
+		   * support "arm regs" command
+		   * can access all core modes and registers
+		   * watchpoint support
+		- Shares some core debug code with ARM11
+	Cortex-M3
+		- Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
+		- vector_catch settings not clobbered by resets
+		- no longer interferes with firmware's fault handling
+	ETM, ETB
+		- "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
+		- "etm trigger_debug" command added
+	MIPS
+		- use fastdata writes
+	Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
 
 Flash Layer:
-    The lpc2000 driver handles the new NXP LPC1700 (Cortex-M3) chips
+	'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
+	With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
+		- <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
+		- <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
+	New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
+	The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
+		previously it would silently erase extra data.  If you
+		want to erase the rest of the first and/or last sectors
+		instead of failing, you must pass an explicit "pad" flag.
+	New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
+	New s3c64xx NAND controller driver.
 
 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
-    Cleanup and additions for the TI/Luminary Stellaris scripts
-    LPC1768 target (and flash) support
-	Keil MCB1700 eval board
-    Samsung s3c2450
-	Mini2440 board
+	ARM9
+		- ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
+	Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
+	Handle Rev C of LM3S811 eval boards.
+		- use "luminary-lm3s811.cfg" for older boards
+		- use "luminary.cfg" for RevC and newer
+
+Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
+	New 'usage' command to provide terse command help.
+	Improved command 'help' command output (sorted and indented).
+	Improved command handling:
+		- Most boolean settings now accept any of the following:
+		  on/off, enable/disable, true/false, yes/no, 1/0
+		- More error checking and reporting.
 
 Documentation:
+	New built-in command development documentation and primer.
 
 Build and Release:
+	Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
+	Consider upgrading to libftdi 0.17 if you use that library; it
+		includes bugfixes which improve FT2232H support.
