This attempts to make reproducible tarballs by sorting the files and passing the "--mtime=" option to tar. The date used for these tarballs was obtained by running: git log -1 --format=%cd --date=format:%F bfd/version.m4 This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new features: * Support for more Intel, ARM, Risc-V architecture extensions. * Support for generating and reading compressed debug sections using the zstd compression format. * Support for the SFRAME unwind format. * Support for the CTF debug format. * The objdump tool now has an option to enhance its disassembly output by showing all of the symbols that match an address, instead of just the first symbol. * The objdump tool's disassembler is now also able to use colors to distinguish differents parts of each instruction. This feature is only supported by a limited set of architectures at the moment. * The linker (ld) has a new command line option to disable the generation of warning and error messages. This can be useful when it is known that the link will not be successful, but there is still a need to create a binary.

This is still a work in progress however, and its contents, format and location may change in the future: https://sourceware.org/binutils/wiki/HomePage Our thanks go out to all of the binutils contributors, past and present, for helping to make this release possible.
