+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
+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:
-    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
+	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
+	Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter.
 
 Boundary Scan:
-    SVF bugfixes ... parsing fixes, better STATE switch conformance
-    XSVF bugfixes ... be more correct, handle Xilinx tool output
+
+Transport framework core ... supporting future work for SWD, SPI, and other
+non-JTAG ways to debug targets or program flash.
 
 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 and ARMv7A support
-	Updated BeagleBoard.org hardware support
-	you may need to explicitly "reset" after connect-to-Beagle
-    New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table"
-    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"
-    ARM11
-	single stepping support for i.MX31
-	bugfix for missing "arm11" prefix on "arm11 memwrite ..."
-    GDB support
-	gdb_attach command is gone
+	ARM:
+		- basic semihosting support for ARMv7M.
+		- renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm"
+	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.
+	OTHER:
+		- preliminary AVR32 AP7000 support.
 
 Flash Layer:
-    The lpc2000 driver handles the new NXP LPC1700 (Cortex-M3) chips
-    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
-    Speed up davinci_nand by about 3x
+	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%.
+	New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection.
+	New STM32 Value Line Support.
+	New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses
+		with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage.
+	New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver.
 
 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
-    Amontec JTAGkey2 support
-    Cleanup and additions for the TI/Luminary Stellaris scripts
-    LPC1768 target (and flash) support
-	Keil MCB1700 eval board
-    Samsung s3c2450
-	Mini2440 board
-    Numeric TAP and Target identifiers now trigger warnings
-    PXA255 partially enumerates
+	Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
+	Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
+	New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
+		parallel port address used.
+	Remove lm3s811.cfg; use "stellaris.cfg" instead
+
+Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
+	New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
+		as the "-s" cmd line option.
