+This file should include highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD openocd-0.3.0 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
+
+Boundary Scan:
+    SVF bugfixes ... parsing fixes, better STATE switch conformance
+    XSVF bugfixes ... be more correct, handle Xilinx tool output
+
+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
+
+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
+
+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
+
+Documentation:
+    Capture more debugging and setup advice
+    Notes on target source code changes that may help debugging
+
+Build and Release:
+    Repository moved from SVN at Berlios to GIT at SourceForge
+    Clean builds on (32-bit) Cygwin
+    Clean builds on 64-bit MinGW
