-Changes in 2.41:
+* Add -z isa-level-report=[none|all|needed|used] to the x86 ELF linker
+  to report needed and used x86-64 ISA levels.
+
+* Add --rosegment option which changes the -z separate-code option so that
+  only one read-only segment is created (instead of two).  (The option name
+  is misleading, but it matches the name used by LLD and GOLD).
+
+* Add --section-ordering-file <FILE> option to add extra mapping of input
+  sections to output sections.
+
+* Add -plugin-save-temps to store plugin intermediate files permanently.
+
+Changes in 2.42:
+
+* Add -z mark-plt/-z nomark-plt options to x86-64 ELF linker to mark PLT
+  entries with DT_X86_64_PLT, DT_X86_64_PLTSZ and DT_X86_64_PLTENT dynamic
+  tags.  Also added --enable-mark-plt configure option to mark PLT entries
+  by default.
+
+* Support Intel APX relocations.
+
+* On RISC-V, add ld target option --[no-]check-uleb128.  Should rebuild the
+  objects by binutils 2.42 and up if enabling the option and get warnings,
+  since the non-zero addend of SUB_ULEB128 shouldn't be generated from .uleb128
+  directives.
 
 * Add support for the KVX instruction set.
 
+* A new linker script sorting directive has been added: REVERSE.  This reverses
+  the order of the sorting.  It may be combined with either SORT_BY_NAME or
+  SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY.
+
+* Added --warn-execstack-objects to warn about executable stacks only when an
+  input object file requests one.  Also added --error-execstack and
+  --error-rxw-segments options to convert warnings about executable stacks and
+  segments into errors.
+
+  Also added --enable-error-execstack=[yes|no] and
+  --enable-error-rwx-segments=[yes|no] configure options to set the default for
+  converting warnings into errors.
+
+* On LoongArch, various linker relaxation bugs are fixed; the most notable
+  of which is BZ 30944 (incorrect .balign semantics).
+
+* On LoongArch, the LoongArch ABI v2.30 (LoongArch ELF psABI v20231219) is
+  now implemented. This includes new relocation types, and changed
+  semantics for PC-relative relocations handling the higher half of 64-bit
+  offsets.
+
+* On LoongArch, link-time TLS optimization and TLS relaxation are now
+  supported.
+
+Changes in 2.41:
+
 * The linker now accepts a command line option of --remap-inputs
   <PATTERN>=<FILE> to relace any input file that matches <PATTERN> with
   <FILE>.  In addition the option --remap-inputs-file=<FILE> can be used to
