+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:
+	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:
+
+Target Layer:
+	ARM:
+		- basic semihosting support (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.
+
+Flash Layer:
+	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:
+	Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
+	Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
+	New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
+		parallel port address used.
+
+Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
+	New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
+		as the "-s" cmd line option.
