+This file should include highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD openocd-0.3.0 source archive release. See the repository
+history for details about what changed, including bugfixes and
+other issues not mentioned here.
+
+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
+ New commands for use with Cortex-M3 processors:
+ "cortex_m3 disassemble" ... Thumb2 disassembly (UAL format)
+ "cortex_m3 vector_catch" ... traps certain hardware faults
+ without tying up breakpoint resources
+ If you're willing to help debug it
+ VERY EARLY Cortex-A8 and ARMv7A support
+ Updated BeagleBoard.org hardware support
+ you may need to explicitly "reset" after connect-to-Beagle
+ New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table"
+ ARM
+ bugfixes to single-stepping Thumb code
+ ETM: unavailable registers are not listed
+ ETB, ETM: report actual hardware status
+ ARM9
+ 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
+
+Flash Layer:
+ The lpc2000 driver handles the new NXP LPC1700 (Cortex-M3) chips
+ New drivers:
+ lpc2900, for NXP LPC2900 chips (ARM968 based)
+ mx3_nand, for imx31
+ New "last" flag for NOR "flash erase_sector" and "flash protect"
+ The "nand erase N" command now erases all of bank N
+ Speed up davinci_nand by about 3x
+
+Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
+ Amontec JTAGkey2 support
+ Cleanup and additions for the TI/Luminary Stellaris scripts
+ LPC1768 target (and flash) support
+ Keil MCB1700 eval board
+ Samsung s3c2450
+ Mini2440 board
+ Numeric TAP and Target identifiers now trigger warnings
+ PXA255 partially enumerates
+
+Documentation:
+ Capture more debugging and setup advice
+ Notes on target source code changes that may help debugging
+
+Build and Release:
+ Repository moved from SVN at Berlios to GIT at SourceForge
+ Clean builds on (32-bit) Cygwin
+ Clean builds on 64-bit MinGW
