   4 and other issues not mentioned here.
   5
   6 JTAG Layer:
   7         New driver for "Bus Pirate"
   8         Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
   9            There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
  10            convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
  11            will not be around forever.
  12                 jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
  13                 jtag_khz        ... is now adapter_khz
  14                 jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
  15                 jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width

  17 Boundary Scan:

  19 Target Layer:
  20         MIPS:
  21                 - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
  22                   obtained by using "reset_config none".
  23                 - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
  24                   required to be connected anymore.
  25
  26 Flash Layer:
  27         New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
  28                 to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
  29                 state to the factory defaults, including erasing
  30                 the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
  31                 re-enabling hardware debugging).
  32         PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
  33                 has increased the performance by approx 96%.
  34
  35 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
  36         Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
  37
  38 Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
  39         New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
  40                 as the "-s" cmd line option.
