-Changes since version 2.0
+-*- text -*-
+
+Changes since version 2.3:
+
+* New linker code, by Steve Chamberlain and Ian Taylor. For a.out and ecoff
+ formats (so far), this should result in considerable savings in time
+ and memory used while linking; slightly poorer performance than
+ before for formats not converted yet.
+
+* Irix 5 support.
+
+* Command-line parsing is no longer done with flex. This means
+ oddball characters in filenames won't get treated as argument
+ separators.
+
+* HP-PA ELF support, by Jeff Law. (No SOM support yet.)
+
+* PowerPC and RS/6000 support, by Ian Taylor.
+
+* Mach i386 support, by David Mackenzie.
+
+Changes since version 2.2:
+
+* Weak symbols are now supported.
+
+* ELF support has been added. The linker has been bootstrapped on
+ UnixWare and Solaris.
+
+* Alpha OSF/1 support has been added (non dynamic linking only).
+
+Changes since version 2.1:
+
+* The `bfd' library has been updated to reduce a.out-format string
+ table size. The effect of this is that files linked from many input
+ files with duplicate symbols (`-g' debugging records, or identical
+ static symbols) should be much smaller.
+
+Changes since version 2.0:
* The ld -ySYMBOL flag (to trace references to SYMBOL) is now implemented.
* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the
other utilities should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.
