 JTAG Layer:
     FT2232H (high speed USB) support doesn't need separate configuration
+    New FT2232H JTAG adapters:  Amontec, Olimex, Signalyzer
+    New reset_config options for SRST gating the JTAG clock (or not)
+    TAP declaration no longer requires ircapture and mask attributes
+    Scan chain setup should be more robust, with better diagnostics
+    New TAP events:
+       "post-reset" for TAP-invariant setup code (TAPs not usable yet)
+       "setup" for use once TAPs are addressable (e.g. with ICEpick)
+    Overridable Tcl "init_reset" and "jtag_init" procedures
+    Simple "autoprobe" mechanism to help simplify server setup
+
+Boundary Scan:
+    SVF bugfixes ... parsing fixes, better STATE switch conformance
+    XSVF bugfixes ... be more correct, handle Xilinx tool output
 
 Target Layer:
+    Warn on use of obsolete numeric target IDs
     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
+    If you're willing to help debug it

     New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table"
-    ARM11 single stepping support for i.MX31 
+    ARM
+       bugfixes to single-stepping Thumb code
+       ETM: unavailable registers are not listed
+       ETB, ETM: report actual hardware status
+    ARM9
+       name change:  "arm9 vector_catch" not "arm9tdmi vector_catch"

+    New drivers:
+       lpc2900, for NXP LPC2900 chips (ARM968 based)
+       mx3_nand, for imx31
+    New "last" flag for NOR "flash erase_sector" and "flash protect"
+    The "nand erase N" command now erases all of bank N
