+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release.  See the repository
+history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
+and other issues not mentioned here.
+
+JTAG Layer:
+       New driver for "Bus Pirate"
+       Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
+          There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
+          convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
+          will not be around forever.
+               jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
+               jtag_khz        ... is now adapter_khz
+               jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
+               jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width
+       Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter.
+
+Boundary Scan:
+
+Transport framework core ... supporting future work for SWD, SPI, and other
+non-JTAG ways to debug targets or program flash.
+
+Target Layer:
+       ARM:
+               - basic semihosting support for ARMv7M.
+               - renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm"
+       MIPS:
+               - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
+                 obtained by using "reset_config none".
+               - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
+                 required to be connected anymore.
+       OTHER:
+               - preliminary AVR32 AP7000 support.
+
+Flash Layer:
+       New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
+               to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
+               state to the factory defaults, including erasing
+               the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
+               re-enabling hardware debugging).
+       PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
+               has increased the performance by approx 96%.
+       New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection.
+       New STM32 Value Line Support.
+       New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses
+               with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage.
+       New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver.
+
+Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
+       Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
+       Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
+       New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
+               parallel port address used.
+       Remove lm3s811.cfg; use "stellaris.cfg" instead
+
+Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
+       New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
+               as the "-s" cmd line option.
