+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD 0.4.0 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.
+       Support USB-JTAG, Altera USB-Blaster and compatibles.
+
+Boundary Scan:
+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
+               - 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
+       ETM, ETB
+               - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
+               - "etm trigger_debug" command added
+       Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
+
+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.
+       The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
+               previously it would silently erase extra data.
+       New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
+
+Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
+       ARM9
+               - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
+       Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
+       Handle Rev C of LM3S811 eval boards.
+               - use "luminary-lm3s811.cfg" for older boards
+               - use "luminary.cfg" for RevC and newer
+
+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.
+
+Documentation:
+       New built-in command development documentation and primer.
+
+Build and Release:
+       Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
+       Consider upgrading to libftdi 0.17 if you use that library; it
+               includes bugfixes which improve FT2232H support.
