+		- "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

+
+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.
