 Target Layer:
+	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
-		- Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
-		- accelerated "flash erase_check"
-		- accelerated GDB memory checksum
+		- 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

+		- 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)

 	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.

 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
 	ARM9
 		- ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
 	Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
+	Handle Rev C of LM3S811 eval boards.
