+* Add support for the wasm32 ELF conversion of the Web Assembly file format.
+
+* Add --inlines option to objdump, which extends the --line-numbers option
+ so that inlined functions will display their nesting information.
+
+* Add --merge-notes options to objcopy to reduce the size of notes in
+ a binary file by merging and deleting redundant notes.
+
+* Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id
+ method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of
+ the original file.
+
+Changes in 2.28:
+
+* This version of binutils fixes a problem with PowerPC VLE 16A and 16D
+ relocations which were functionally swapped, for example,
+ R_PPC_VLE_HA16A performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16D while R_PPC_VLE_HA16D
+ performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16A. This could have been fixed by
+ renumbering relocations, which would keep object files created by an
+ older version of gas compatible with a newer ld. However, that would
+ require an ABI update, affecting other assemblers and linkers that
+ create and process the relocations correctly. It is recommended that
+ all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can modify the relocations
+ if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to ld. If the new ld command line
+ option is not used, ld will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent
+ with the instructions being relocated.
+
+* The nm program has a new command line option (--with-version-strings)
+ which will display a symbol's version information, if any, after the
+ symbol's name.
+
* The ARC port of objdump now accepts a -M option to specify the extra
instruction class(es) that should be disassembled.
and/or local symbols only. They now also support long options.
