 This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
-OpenOCD 0.4.0 source archive release.  See the repository
+OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release.  See the repository
 history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
 and other issues not mentioned here.
 
 JTAG Layer:
-       Support KT-Link JTAG adapter.
+       New driver for "Bus Pirate"
+       Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
+          There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
+          convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
+          will not be around forever.
+               jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
+               jtag_khz        ... is now adapter_khz
+               jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
+               jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width

 Target Layer:
-       General
-               - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
-       ARM
-               - 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
-       ARM11
-               - Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
-               - accelerated "flash erase_check"
-               - accelerated GDB memory checksum
-               - support "arm regs" command
-               - can access all core modes and registers
-       Cortex-A8
-               - support "arm regs" command
-               - can access all core modes and registers
-               - supports "reset-assert" event (used on OMAP3530)
-       Cortex-M3
-               - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
+       MIPS:
+               - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
+                 obtained by using "reset_config none".
+               - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
+                 required to be connected anymore.
 
 Flash Layer:
-       '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.
+       New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
+               to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
+               state to the factory defaults, including erasing
+               the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
+               re-enabling hardware debugging).
+       PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
+               has increased the performance by approx 96%.
 
 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
-       ARM9
-               - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
-       Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
+       Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
 
 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.
+       New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
+               as the "-s" cmd line option.
 
 Documentation:
-       New built-in command development documentation and primer.
 
 Build and Release:
-       Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
