 Target Layer:
 Target Layer:

-    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
-    New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table" 
+       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
+               - basic semihosting support
+       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
+               - watchpoint support
+       Cortex-A8
+               - support "arm regs" command
+               - can access all core modes and registers
+               - supports "reset-assert" event (used on OMAP3530)
+               - watchpoint support
+       Cortex-M3
+               - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter

 
 Flash Layer:
 
 Flash Layer:

-    The lpc2000 driver handles the new NXP LPC1700 (Cortex-M3) chips
+       '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.

 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:

-    Cleanup and additions for the TI/Luminary Stellaris scripts
-    LPC1768 target (and flash) support
-       Keil MCB1700 eval board
-    Samsung s3c2450
-       Mini2440 board
+       ARM9
+               - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
+       Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
+
+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.
