-Changes since 2.5:
+Changes in 2.8:
+
+MIPS16 support added.
+
+Motorola ColdFire 5200 support added (configure for m68k and use -m5200).
+
+Alpha/VMS support added.
+
+m68k options --base-size-default-16 and --base-size-default-32 added.
+
+Changes in 2.7:
+
+The PowerPC assembler now allows the use of symbolic register names (r0, etc.)
+if -mregnames is used.  Symbolic names preceded by a '%' (%r0, etc.) can be
+used any time.  PowerPC 860 move to/from SPR instructions have been added.
+
+Alpha Linux (ELF) support added.
+
+PowerPC ELF support added.
+
+m68k Linux (ELF) support added.
+
+i960 Hx/Jx support added.
+
+i386/PowerPC gnu-win32 support added.
+
+SCO ELF support added.  For OpenServer 5 targets (i386-unknown-sco3.2v5) the
+default is to build COFF-only support.  To get a set of tools that generate ELF
+(they'll understand both COFF and ELF), you must configure with
+target=i386-unknown-sco3.2v5elf.
+
+m88k-motorola-sysv* support added.

+Changes in 2.6:
 
 Gas now directly supports macros, without requiring GASP.
 
-Gas now has an MRI assembler compatibility mode.
+Gas now has an MRI assembler compatibility mode.  Use -M or --mri to select MRI
+mode.  The pseudo-op ``.mri 1'' will switch into the MRI mode until the ``.mri
+0'' is seen; this can be convenient for inline assembler code.
+
+Added --defsym SYM=VALUE option.
 
 Added -mips4 support to MIPS assembler.
 
 Added PIC support to Solaris and SPARC SunOS 4 assembler.
