+* A new tool "windmc" has been added for some targets. This is a message
+ compiler which attempts to be compatible with the MS version.
+
+* Add codepage support to the windres tool. It now supports many new
+ resource types (e.g. MANIFEST, TOOLBAR, etc). The output generation
+ for binary files is done now via bfd itself. The endianess problems
+ for different hosts are solved. Dumps of .res files can now be
+ re-compiled by windres without lossing resources or compilation errors.
+ Some problems on dialog resource translations are corrected.
+
+* Add --extract-symbol command line option to objcopy, which will
+ strip everything out of an ordinary object file or executable except
+ for its symbol table. Files containing just symbols can be useful
+ to some OSes.
