-The OpenOCD 0.2.0 source archive release includes numerous improvements
-that were made since the initial 0.1.0 source archive release.  Many
-contributors helped make this release a great success, and the community
-of developers and maintainers look forward to any response.
-
-In addition to the list of changes below, countless bug fixing and
-cleaning was performed across the tree.  Various TCL command parameters
-must past stricter value checks, and many more error conditions have
-been handled correctly.  These efforts helped to make the 0.2.0 release
-more stable and robust, though some changes may expose latent bugs in
-your existing configuration scripts.
- 
-This release does not maintain backward compatibility in all respects,
-so some target or configuration scripts may need to be updated.  In some
-cases, you may also see warnings; resolve those, because they indicate
-commands that will be removed in the future.
-
-The following areas of OpenOCD functionality changed in this release:
+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD  source archive release.  See the
+repository history for details about what changed, including
+bugfixes and other issues not mentioned here.

 
 JTAG Layer:
 
 JTAG Layer:

-- Improves modularity: core, TCL, driver commands, and interface have
-  been separated, encapsulated, and documented for developers.  Mostly.
-- Improves JTAG TAP transition tables: 
-   * Makes TAP paths variable length, rather than being fixed at 7 steps.
-   * Fixes problems with some targets that did not like longer paths.
-- Improves JTAG driver/minidriver modularity and encapsulation.
-- New drivers:
-   * Adds stub minidriver for developing new embedded JTAG interfaces.
-- Improves drivers:
-   * ft2232+ftd2xx:
-      + Adds initial high-speed device support: --enable-ftd2xx-highspeed
-      + Supports more types of FTDI-based devices.
-   * jlink:
-      + Works with more versions of the firmware (v3 and newer)
-      + Supports dynamically detects device capabilities and limits
-   * vsllink:
-      + Supports very long scan chains
-   * amtjtagaccel:
-      + Fixes broken ID code detection problems.
+       New STLINK V1/V2 JTAG/SWD adapter support.
+       New OSJTAG adapter support.
+       New Tincantools Flyswatter2 support.
+       Improved ULINK driver.
+       Improved RLINK driver.
+       Support for adapters based on FT232H chips.
+       New experimental driver for FTDI based adapters, using libusb-1.0 in asynchronous mode.

 Target Layer:
 
 Target Layer:

-- New devices: AVR, FA526
-- Improved support: ARM ADI, ARM11, MIPS
-- Numerous other bug fixes and improvements
+       New Cortex-M0 support.
+       New Cortex-M4 support.
+       Improved Working area algorithm.
+       New RTOS support. Currently linux, FreeRTOS, ThreadX and eCos.
+       Connecting under reset to Cortex-Mx and MIPS chips.

 
 Flash Layer:
 
 Flash Layer:

-- Improved drivers: mflash
-- New drivers: AT91SAM3, AVR, Davinci NAND
-
-Board, Interface, and Target Configuration Scripts:
-- Many new and improved targets and boards are now available.
-- Better separation of "board" and "target" configuration
-- Moved all TCL files to top-level "tcl" directory in the source tree
-- Installation moved from '$pkglibdir/' to '$pkgdatadir/scripts/'.
-- Site-specific files should be installed under '$pkgdatadir/site/';
-  files that exist this tree will be used in preference to default
-  distribution configurations in '$pkgdatadir/scripts/'.
+       New SST39WF1601 support.
+       New EN29LV800BB support.
+       New async algorithm support for selected targets, stm32, stellaris and pic32.
+       New Atmel SAM3S, SAM3N support.
+       New ST STM32L support.
+       New Microchip PIC32MX1xx/2xx support.
+       New Freescale Kinetis K40 support.
+
+Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
+       Support Dangerous Prototypes Bus Blaster.
+       Support ST SPEAr Family.
+       Support Gumstix Verdex boards.
+       Support TI Beaglebone.

 
 Documentation:
 
 Documentation:

-- Updated User Guide:     http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/html/index.html
-   * Partially re-written and re-organized.
-   * Standardized presentation for all commands.
-   * Covers many drivers and commands that were previously omitted.

+       Improved HACKING info for submitting patches.
+       Fixed numerous broken links.

 
 Build and Release:
 
 Build and Release:

-- Increased configuration and compilation warning coverage.
-   * Use --disable-werror to work around build errors caused by warnings.
-- Use libtool to produce helper libraries as a step toward "libopenocd".
-- New processes and scripting to facilitate future source releases.
