+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the OpenOCD
+source archive release.
JTAG Layer:
- FT2232H (high speed USB) support doesn't need separate configuration
- New FT2232H JTAG adapters: Amontec, Olimex, Signalyzer
- New reset_config options for SRST gating the JTAG clock (or not)
- TAP declaration no longer requires ircapture and mask attributes
- Scan chain setup should be more robust, with better diagnostics
- New TAP events:
- "post-reset" for TAP-invariant setup code (TAPs not usable yet)
- "setup" for use once TAPs are addressable (e.g. with ICEpick)
- Overridable Tcl "init_reset" and "jtag_init" procedures
- Simple "autoprobe" mechanism to help simplify server setup

Boundary Scan:
- SVF bugfixes ... parsing fixes, better STATE switch conformance
- XSVF bugfixes ... be more correct, handle Xilinx tool output
Target Layer:
- Warn on use of obsolete numeric target IDs

- name change: "arm9 vector_catch" not "arm9tdmi vector_catch"
- ARM11
- single stepping support for i.MX31
- bugfix for missing "arm11" prefix on "arm11 memwrite ..."
- GDB support
- gdb_attach command is gone
