  10 Target Layer:
  11         General
  12                 - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
  13         ARM
  14                 - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
  15                 - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
  16                 - "arm regs" command output changed
  17                 - register names use "sp" not "r13"
  18                 - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
  19                   various core-specific operations
  20                 - basic semihosting support
  21         ARM11
  22                 - Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
  23                 - accelerated "flash erase_check"
  24                 - accelerated GDB memory checksum
  25                 - support "arm regs" command
  26                 - can access all core modes and registers
  27                 - watchpoint support
  28         Cortex-A8
  29                 - support "arm regs" command
  30                 - can access all core modes and registers
  31                 - supports "reset-assert" event (used on OMAP3530)
  32                 - watchpoint support
  33         Cortex-M3
  34                 - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
  35         ETM, ETB
  36                 - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
  37                 - "etm trigger_debug" command added
  38
  39 Flash Layer:
  40         'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
  41         With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
  42                 - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
  43                 - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
  44         New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
  45         The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
  46                 previously it would silently erase extra data.
  47
  48 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
  49         ARM9
  50                 - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
  51         Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
  52
  53 Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
  54         New 'usage' command to provide terse command help.
  55         Improved command 'help' command output (sorted and indented).
  56         Improved command handling:
  57                 - Most boolean settings now accept any of the following:
  58                   on/off, enable/disable, true/false, yes/no, 1/0
  59                 - More error checking and reporting.

  61 Documentation:
  62         New built-in command development documentation and primer.
  63
  64 Build and Release:
  65         Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
  66         Consider upgrading to libftdi 0.17 if you use that library; it
  67                 includes bugfixes which improve FT2232H support.
