+* Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and --dwarf=links option to objdump
+  which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or .gnu_debugaltlink
+  sections.
+
+  Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links
+  option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug info files
+  to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections.
+
+Changes in 2.29:
+
+* The MIPS port now supports microMIPS eXtended Physical Addressing (XPA)
+  instructions for assembly and disassembly.
+
+* The MIPS port now supports the microMIPS Release 5 ISA for assembly and
+  disassembly.
+
+* The MIPS port now supports the Imagination interAptiv MR2 processor,
+  which implements the MIPS32r3 ISA, the MIPS16e2 ASE as well as a couple
+  of implementation-specific regular MIPS and MIPS16e2 ASE instructions.
+
+* The SPARC port now supports the SPARC M8 processor, which implements the
+  Oracle SPARC Architecture 2017.
+
+* The MIPS port now supports the MIPS16e2 ASE for assembly and disassembly.
+
 * Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX.
 
 * Add support for the wasm32 ELF conversion of the WebAssembly file format.
